Welcome to Yummy Mummy's Cook Book!

I'm so excited to be starting this blog, I've been saying for months that I want to have a place to keep all my meal ideas for my Daughter, as well as cake recipes - who doesn't like cake?! - and any little nuggets of useful information or ideas that I find and think are quite helpful and worth sharing.

My daughter is currently 16 months old, and loves her food. She will eat just about anything that's put in front of her (and long may it continue!) so I am always on the look out for all sorts of new and tasty things to cook for her to get her trying as many different foods as possible.

When she turned 6 months we started with baby led weaning as this suited us. I'm a very lazy cook, I hate all the faffing about, just give me my food, so I didn't want to have to cook, mash, puree, portion, freeze into ice cube trays etc. It made more sense to us, that our daughter started eating what we eat (within reason, obviously!). It helps us keep an eye on our own salt intake too, as I no longer cook with salt.

This doesn't mean that I'm against purees in anyway, it just wasn't the route we wanted to choose. But I will likely share some puree ideas along the way for those parents who do choose to go down that route for whatever reason.

I hope you find my blog helpful, and if there's anything you think I should include or you've seen something I might want to share with my readers, please let me know!

Happy reading!
