DD gets through any type of food with her hands, it's quite amazing and a pre loaded spoon or fork also helps.
Her absolute favourites are pasta in any form, pesto and cheese, meatballs etc. Jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, tuna or chilli. Also made her a red lentil potato bake type thing (after she loved the Cook version), just red lentils, a tomato sauce and then a load of veg - squash, courgette, sweetcorn, peppers etc and square blocks of potato. Mini fishcakes were a hit as well as cous cous with lamb, tomato, peppers, lemon juice and morrocan spices which was easier to eat than I thought as cous cous has a propensity to stick into little balls anyway.
She also east lots of fruit and veg raw, loves cherry toms, celery, cucumber, carrot and dips and goes nuts over grapes, cherries, pear, peach and kiwi which I always find reassuring from a vits point of view as they make up for lazy day meals IMO!
HQ - your holiday looks amazing, I am so and fabulous news about the leg!
turtle - great idea about library, thank you, (obvious with hindsight but I hadn't thought about it!) and got DD her bookstart pack today.
We are finally illness free and DD is sleeping pretty well as a consequence - if I haven't cursed it by typing!
Sorry to hear you are not feeling great littleducks, let's get a meet up sorted and we can cheer you up! As planning in advance doesn't seem to work too well shall we try last minute organising? Are you all free next weekend? This is so not going to work but one can but try...
