I’m pregnant at the minute and have always loved cooking. Now that I’m cooking for an extra special little one I’m taking even more of an interest and trying to eat a well-balanced yet still tasty diet to ensure myself and bump get all the nutrients we need!
Serves 4
Creamy Pesto Chicken
This dish is great served with new baby boiled potatoes in their skins and broccoli, or for a more casual meal, serve with pasta and some crusty wholemeal baguette.
Serves 4
Friday Night Fajitas
These Fajitas are great served with guacamole, tomato salsa and natural yogurt placed on the table in little bowls. If you are entertaining, you could serve with some Mexican rice too. If you don’t have all the spices, it’s fine to use a packet of fajita spice mix!
Serves 4 hungry adults

Toddler – Lemon Chicken and Broccoli pasta bake
“This recipe is perfect for using left-over roast chicken or even turkey, but a shop-bought cooked chicken also works well.”
Serves 9-10
Simple chicken curry
This delicious recipe is a quick and nutritious alternative to what you might be tempted to order in on a Friday night and is a real family favourite. This recipe is very mild and suitable for the whole family but of course you can add some fresh chilli with your garlic and onion for some spice.
Serves 4-5
Tip: Add a can of coconut milk to make it creamy
