BLW - what did your LO eat today?

[NIfirsttimer]

its weird, the meal we all seem to have 'issues' with is breakfast! ruby rarely aate more than a mouthful for months and months, in fact, its only really in the last month that shes had any sort of interest in breakfast!

Sophia eats tonnes at breakfast - not big on lunch though!

Thomas is the same, he was always very keen on breakfast and I often have to keep going back for more food. Lunch was the slowest meal for us to get started although he usually eats quite a bit at all his meals now.

Olivia has had tuna on brown toast for breakfast this morning and polished off nearly two slices! Unheard of really as Olivia is never normally a breakfast person.

Ruby has started all but refusing lunch. It used to be her best meal by far!

Today...
B - Smaller than usual bowl of Shreddies
L - Refused cheese and biscuits, one bite of an organix fruit bar
Snack - 2 spelt biscuits, half of OH's mega sweet cupcake (naughty OH - I was out doing the shopping!)
Dinner - Big slice of homemade bacon and mushroom pizza, plum fromage frais, few bits of pear.

It seems to me that Ruby still has only got the capacity to eat 2 meals a day - she's never been big on all 3 meals a day. Now she is 14 months I think we shall drop her down to one milk feed a day and see if that makes any difference.

B: None today. I didn't offer and he didn't miss it.
L: Leftover champ, fish, few tomatoes, breadsticks dipped in hummus.

at lunch he kept shouting and pointing at our plates - we had the same as him but even giving him bits of ours wasn't what he wanted... Eventually realised he wanted a fork so I gave him a plastic one & he speared his potatoes with it & ate them
he tried his hardest to spear peas too but had to give in

S: half a slice of carrot cake in our local healthfood cafe (shared with mummy who ate all the yummy icing half!)

L: hazelnut butter sandwiches (made from 2 slices of milk roll bread), 2 large breadsticks, raspberries, 3 apple baby ricecakes.

S: 1.5 thin slices of homemade banana bread.

D: Half a small jacket potato, the fish from 2 fish goujons, half a tin of low salt/sugar beans (feel very guilty about these as he also had beans at the weekend but we had leftovers & he loves them & I was tired... will be much healthier tomorrow!), about a tablespoon of grated cheddar, raisins, frozen fromage frais tube.

Home made Korma paste

2 cloves of garlic
thumb sized piece of fresh ginger
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp sea salt (I leave this out)
2 tablespoons groundnut oil
1 tablespoon tomato puree
2 fresh green chillies (i just use one)
3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
2 tablespoons ground almonds
small bunch fresh corriander

spices for toasting
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp corriander seeds

method
toast spices in frying pan on medium/high heat for a few minutes, then grind in pestle and mortar/whizz in food processer. Then peel the garlic and ginger and put in a food processer with all the other ingredients (including the toasted spices) and whizz until a smooth paste is formed.

This paste can then be used to make up your curry with onions, more ginger, chickpeas, coconut milk and some more desiccated coconut.

I hope this helps. If you want the full recipe for the curry then let me know.
