Want to substitute your high sugar and salt ketchup for a no added salt and sugar baby ketchup? One that is also perfect for baby led weaning? Look no further! The King of the Kiddie Condiments As much as most parents hate it, most children love ketchup. Personally, give me mayonnaise any day of the week. It's hard to put your finger on it, but ketchup just hits that spot with children. It's like they are hardwired to like ketchup at the genetic level. I recall Reuben trying it for the first time... he looked like all of his life questions had been answered! Click here to go to the EasyTots website The Downside! The issue with giving little ones tomato ketchup is that it's highly processed and full of sugar, salt and preservatives. Even the reduced sugar/sugar free ones generally rely on various sweeteners, with there being controversy surrounding artificial sweeteners and their health consequences. In my opinion, having the word "artificial" as a prefix to something you are supposed to eat isn't the most inviting thought! The Happy Medium What I don't want you to take away from this is that this recipe is the only ketchup condiment you can use. As the old adage goes, "everything in moderation". Personally, I have no problem with Reuben having regular ketchup from time to time, especially when out and about or at a party etc. However, having the option of this baby ketchup as a healthy alternative for more regular use at home is something that I like to have the option of.

Q: Indian 'No-Meat-Balls'

These Indian-spiced "No-Meat-Balls" are made using chickpeas as a meat substitute. Chickpeas are fantastic for several reasons, including having great flavour, but the one thing that makes them perfect for this recipe is that they're substantial. When it comes to vegetarian/vegan dishes chickpeas are one of those foods that provides a denser component, making them almost "meat-like". The spice in these comes from garam masala and turmeric, but feel free to play around with whatever spices you enjoy. Personally, I find that garam masala provides a nice balance of spices, which work amazingly in this. If possible though, I would always try and keep the turmeric in these. Turmeric is one of life's amazing foods, with it being a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant because of the active ingredient Curcumin, so I tend to throw it in as much of my cooking as possible!
