An exciting new breakfast and lunch

Will post the video soon when I have charged the battery!

A bare cupboard forced the invention of a new breakfast today which luckily was a big success. I made some readybrek with less milk than it states so it was extra thick, I then mashed some banana and mixed it in. It was thick enough for JJ to messily scoop up and eat - he loved it (see the video!). I only made a half quantity as I expected him to reject it like he has done with normal ready brek, and he polished it off so quickly I had to hastily make some more (which he didnt eat in the end even though it was thicker and much better!).

Lunch was another big success! We tried mini pittas filled with grated carrot and grated cheese mixed with a bit of cumin and toasted. He loved them and ate 2 full ones. A good tip is to buy a pack of 10 mini pittas and freeze them indivdually. They defrost really quickly and I used to throw half a pack away as we didn't get through them. This way we always have some to hand! He also had the leftover banana readybrek mixed with some creamy greek yogurt - yumm - he loved it! It would make quite a substantial dessert for those days when he doesn't seem to have had much and is only keen on dessert!

Tea was baked cod, broccoli and pasta and pesto. He enjoyed this and ate a fair amount but not loads due to his huge lunch I think!

He also enjoyed a flying visit from Nanna and Grandad before bed - he sends you both a big sloppy kiss! xxx
