Healthy toddler food

Well I'm a little shocked, my slightly picky 2 year old is on her 3rd bowl of brown rice, chickpeas, feta cheese and currant mixture, that I had left over from yesterday's stuffed peppers. My 8 month old loves it too, but she will eat anything!

Diet!!! Urgh - Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

Ok so I've decided I need to lose a stone before my holiday to Spain in sept! And so far this week I've lost a few lbs already.

I should have been documenting our healthy dinners every day, but I'm often very tired after chasing my 2 yr old around all day. The 8 month old is utterly no bother compared to a toddler that has now learned the phrase "go away"! And whose favourite dinner yesterday, today she won't even look at! 

So today's dinner was stuffed peppers made in the slow cooker (we don't eat much meat in this house, hubby won't eat red meat as he likes cows and lambs, and I don't like chicken - so we survive on vegetables, pulses and fish!)

Ingredients

• Chickpeas
• Currants
• Feta Cheese
• Rice
• 4 red peppers
• Mint leaves

Method

• Mix all ingredients together. 
• Cut off top off the peppers and remove seeds. 
• Place mixture in peppers. 
• Place in slow cooker 
• Add stock to half fill the slow cooker
• Cook fort least 5 hours until rice is cooked

Very yummy dinner 

I'll keep you posted on my weight loss! 

Summer evenings vegetarian dinner

It worked! Can't believe it wasn't as difficult as I thought, and actually quite yummy! 

I know it's been a little while since I posted, children are very time consuming!

But I just had to share these fab homemade vegetable samosas.

Made with peas, sweetcorn, red onion and feta cheese, with a sprinkling of tikki seasoning and wrapped in filo pastry.

Reasonably healthy as baked in the oven and so yummy ! 

Both my 2 year old and hubby love them, and they're perfect for a picnic, or a summers evening dinner. My daughter has hers with steamed veg and new potatoes and hubby and I are going to have ours with some tabbouleh, which by the way I've never made before ! 

Bulghar wheat, red onion, tomato, lemon juice and zest, olive oil and parsley and mint from the garden! 

So there we have it, a perfect summers evening dinner!

Samosas, tabbouleh, tzatiki and halloumi
