apple and pear clafoutis - baby friendly recipe

Clafoutis is basically the French term for a thin sponge cake, similar to a waffle in consistency or a thicker pancake, if you wish. The French make it sound so posh, n’est-ce pas? It involves some fruit, whichever is in season, on top of which you pour a thick batter and which gets baked in a butter lined pan, form or oven-proof dish. It couldn’t be any simpler than that.

baby's chocolate - baby weaning dessert or snack

What contains banana and avocado, can be done in less than 5 minutes and looks like chocolate?   Baby’s chocolate.   It is called that way because it looks a bit like melted chocolate when done, even though the taste is not quite the same as real chocolate.   It is also the quickest and easiest dessert or snack you can make for your little one when you have run out of ideas and you happen to have an avocado in the house (cause we don’t always happen to have one, don’t we?).   And if you’re doing baby led … Read more
