I will quite happily watch any programme that’s food related. Well, to be honest, all I really want to watch now is anything that isn’t on cBeebies!! Masterchef has to be my fave so I have been loving the new celebrity series. It’s finals week this week so here’s hoping the Jimmy Osmond wins! TheyContinue reading Chicken Kievs

Vegan Nachos #manfoodtagalong
Last weekend I took part in another food tag along on Instagram. We had such fun participating in the #picnicfoodtagalong (you can find my contribution here) that I was excited to take part in the next one. The theme for this one was man food. Dishes and recipes inspired by/for the significant men in yourContinue reading Vegan Nachos #manfoodtagalong
Bolognese Sauce
I can’t believe that mummybakesdairyfree is over a year old and yet I haven’t posted my bolognese sauce recipe. It is one of little one’s favourite meals and we have it most weeks. I definitely don’t claim this to be a classic bolognese sauce, but it is a hit with my little one and isContinue reading Bolognese Sauce
Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Sauce
A great alternative to tomato or creamy pasta sauces. I love this butternut squash and sweet potato sauce. It is so versatile and could be used in a variety of ways. It has a yummy, creamy texture yet is dairy free, is a great way to get veggies into little one’s meal and can beContinue reading Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Sauce
Sausage and Pearl Barley
I love one pot meals. Not just because it means less washing up, but because generally they don’t require too much input. Technically this also needs a baking tray but I won’t tell if you don’t. This dish has a risotto feel about it however it’s a bit less labour intensive as you add the liquidContinue reading Sausage and Pearl Barley
Butternut Squash and Kale Lasagne
Another butternut squash recipe! Squash is a popular vegetable used when introducing first tastes in weaning, so it is a familiar taste for little one. The added kale is also fantastic for a dairy free or vegan diet. Did you know that one medium portion of cooled kale (that’s about 70g) contains 90mg of calcium.Continue reading Butternut Squash and Kale Lasagne
Butternut Squash Risotto
Risotto isn’t something we have too often as I always presumed it was really labour intensive. I’m not going to lie, it’s not something you can leave on the hob or in the oven, and have a relaxing bath whilst it cooks away. It is, however, pretty speedy so is an ideal midweek dinner,Continue reading Butternut Squash Risotto
Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Pie
Who doesn’t love a yummy pie! This one is pretty easy to make, especially if you use the ready made pastry. Most brands are dairy free but it’s always best to check the ingredients first. My favourite is Tesco own version or JusRol puff pastry. It’s really versatile and is easy to use. I’m sureContinue reading Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Pie
Cottage Pie
I really disliked cottage pie as a child. I think it was the way the potato went crispy in the oven. It’s a great recipe to add hidden veggies to though and little one loves mince dishes, so I’m giving it another go. The recipe is pretty versatile and each time I make it IContinue reading Cottage Pie
Beetroot and Beef Meatballs
I’ve been meaning to write up this recipe for ages. I have fallen out of the habit of writing up the recipes for the blog, adding them to my Instagram posts instead. Little one has dropped a nap during the day which is when I used to write up recipes but I’m going to tryContinue reading Beetroot and Beef Meatballs
