One of our new baby groups is at this school. Last week Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman were there filming their new movie. Fancy!
Trying to recreate my beloved Pret Double berry muffins.
C got to grips with his cup this week
Chicken pie for my boys. Perfect for this miserable weather!
Daddy always knows how to make him laugh
Funny how changing high chairs has changed my days. No nasty plastic to scrub. Nowhere for little bits to get stuck. Amazing! Thanks ebay.
What do you mean don’t play with the records? It’s a gift, for you!
Shake made me pizza
It was delicious!
Still loving his lentil lasagne – recipe for you one day…

p.s. how cute is Mr C? I couldn’t resist this photo Trouble maker…
It has been so bitterly cold, but on Easter Monday we dragged ourselves out for a visit to The Sustainability Centre. We love it here.
The beautiful Woodland Classroom designed and built by the amazing Ben Law
This is where once upon a time Shake proposed
Love the details around this place
Much needed hot drink after a chilly walk
The café has a lovely children’s area with wonderful toys. C was happily amused for quite a while
You can’t really see it, but there was snow falling…
C found his nanny’s stash of wool and dragged it all around. Oops – he knows Daddy is not amused!
Falling asleep during lunch, poor thing!
After visiting my Grandma we went out to this cute place – love the lightshades!
My perfect kind of meal – lots of things to dip and pick at (and share with C too!)
Ended the week with some yummy cookies
I know, I know. These aren’t exactly beautiful muffins, but I can promise they are tasty!
We are still staying at Shake’s parents’ house and I am trying to keep food shopping to a minimum – ha!
Whilst clearing out the cupboard I found a tin of salmon (MSC, hooray) and decided to bake some baby-friendly muffins. There was some coconut milk lurking in the fridge from our morning smoothies and I thought these would make a nice combination.
I am regretting leaving my lovely Persian dill in France, but what we had here was just fine. Fresh would be better, no doubt.
Salmon, coconut and dill muffins
Makes approximately 12 small muffins
Ingredients
2 cups self-raising flour
2 teaspoons dill
Black pepper, optional
1 egg
1 cup coconut milk
80g melted butter
1 tablespoon plain yoghurt
1 tin salmon (213g)
Method
Preheat oven to 170degC
Melt butter and leave to cool slightly
In a large bowl, combine the flour and dill, season with black pepper as desired
In another bowl or jug, beat the egg with the coconut milk and yoghurt. Add the melted butter and beat again until just combined
Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture and stir thoroughly. Add more yoghurt or milk if mixture seems too dry
Add the tinned salmon and stir through until evenly distributed
Spoon into muffin trays and bake for approximately 15 – 20 minutes. An inserted skewer or knife should come out clean
Best eaten warm or at least on the day made
C recommends them topped with cream cheese
Enjoy!

:: Another book I am eager to read. It’ll be a long wait until 2015…
:: This open lasagne looks super and simple, perfect.
:: Drooling over these apples. What a yummy breakfast!

Wishing you all a happy, healthy weekend.

Baby Led Weaning = Constant Cleaning. Plus, turns out C is not a fan of mango.
New routine of breakfast smoothies. Really enjoying it so far, Shake is coming up with some awesome combinations.
Tastes much better than it looks, honest!
If you know me you know I am a messy cook. It was about time I bought an apron.
Baking Baharat - smelling delicious.
Sweet potato fries, C’s new favourite food.
Treated myself to something beautiful. So happy!
