Guacamole is the perfect toddler food.  No cooking required, it’s healthy, full of flavour and makes a great healthy snack that the whole family will love – and they can almost make it entire on their own!

I chopped all the ingredients and put them into tiny bowls.  H mashed the avocado and assemble all the other ingredients.  He had a great time!

1. 2 avocados
2. 1 big handful of coriander leaves – finely chopped
3. 1/2 small red onion; very finely chopped
4. 1 tomato or a few cherry tomatoes; chopped
5. 1/4 chilli – or more to suit your taste; finely chopped
6. Juice of 1/2 to 1 lime
7. salt
8. Corn chips to serve

1. Add the avocado flesh to a bowl. Mash with a folk until your desired consistency is reached. I left mine a little chunky. Add the chopped onion, chilli, coriander, tomato and the juice of half a lime. Season well. Mix and taste; add more lime to suit taste.

1. Don’t go crazy with exact quantities, add more or less to suit. I went very light with the chilli and onion so it would suit the little guy.

I started making this dish for Little Big H at around 7 months.  It contains eggs but I had given him eggs previously so I didn’t have to worry about any allergies.  It makes around 6 x 120ml mini flans

This is the simplest of purees but I wanted to add it to the blog to highlight that the organic apple season in Australia is coming to an end.  Apples top the ‘Dirty Dozen’ list so it is important to buy organic.  Apples are a bit of a staple for adding to other foods therefore…

I had never tried Kohlrabi before making this dish.  I spotted it at my local organic store and bought two.  A purple one and a green one.  I googled it when I got home and realised that it is very similar to cabbage.  I am a huge coleslaw fan so I thought I would make…

This is a delicious breakfast, dessert or healthy afternoon snack for Little Big H, with no cooking involved.  I like to swirl rather than mix it all together, that way Little Big H gets a different taste with every mouthful.  He just loves yoghurt.  Five:am natural yoghurt with no added sugar is his favourite.  I use…

A simple summer puree that requires no cooking. The mint gives it a nice freshness, and its a great way to start introducing herbs to your baby

Forget boring and tasteless rice cereal as babies first food.  Offer real food instead!  Avocado and banana make wonderful first foods.  (Try individually to check for any allergies, then mash together for a wonderful tasting puree) Bananas’ high enzyme content (namely, amylase) means that they can digest themselves and thus, there’s less work for your…

 There are many reasons to buy organic produce but the two that are the most important (to me) when it comes to feeding my precious boy are:

  My name is Cristie and my son’s name is Harrison (a.k.a Little Big H, Big H, Harry & H)!!! I am a single mum living in Sydney, Australia.  I have a passion for cooking and since my little boy has come along that passion has turned into cooking nutritious baby food for him – and…

The classic roast chook, it’s always a favourite at our table.  This recipe is really simple and the result is perfectly cooked chicken with juicy flesh and crispy skin, with hints of sage.

Up until fairly recently we always used the rotisserie to cook chicken, but with that no longer an option (apartment living!).  I have been experimenting in the oven to get a similar result.  The one thing that makes the biggest difference is allowing the bird to sit on the bench for 30 – 60 minutes before cooking – just like you would beef.  If it’s a hot day 30 minutes should do it, allow an hour for the colder days.

The bird goes in the oven for an hour and a half.  If you would like to add veggies, do so when there is about 40 minutes left on the clock (parboil potatoes if using as they will take longer).  A thermometer is a really useful tool for cooking meat.  If you have one chicken should be at least 75 degrees C (165 degrees F) once cooked through.

My budding food photographer

1. 1.8kg free-range chicken
2. 2 tablespoons sage; finely chopped
3. 1 lemon; halved
4. 1/2 cup chicken stock
5. 50 grams butter; softened + 10-20 grams extra to rub on flesh
6. salt

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F). Rince the chicken and pat dry. Using your fingers, separate the skin from the breast so you have a pocket to add your herb butter.
2. Combine the 50 grams of butter with the chopped sage place the entire amount under the skin. Use you hands to spread it around fairly evenly. Place the chopped lemon inside the chicken and tie the legs together with string. Rub the extra softened butter on the skin and sprinkle generously with salt.
3. Place into a large baking dish and add the chicken stock to the dish. Cook for an hour and a half.
4. Allow to rest for 15 minutes or so and serve

1. I served the cook with roasted sweet potato, carrots, parsnips and eggplants. Toss in olive oil and roast when there is about 40 minutes remaining.
