Coconut chia pudding - you’ll want this in your breakfast rotation!

I portion these into jars so they are transportable but you can always empty into a bowl and top with a little granola for a nice crunch.

Ingredients:
500 g coconut yogurt (I used )
4 scoops unflavoured whey protein powder (I used )
2 Tbsp golden flax seeds
4 Tbsp chia seeds
6 oz berries

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and portion into 4 jars. Top with berries. Let the pudding set in the fridge overnight.

Enjoy as is or top with your fav granola! Let me know what you think of this if you try it, in the comments below.

Nothing says you’re ready for the week ahead like a fully stocked and prepped fridge!

I try to meal prep a few items each week to make busy weekday meals less stressful. If you have a plan, even a loose plan like a cooked protein or some pre-made sides, it takes some of the mental load off.

This week I’ve got a few things prepped:
- snack boxes with fresh fruit and veggies
- pulled chicken
- roasted Greek chicken
- mixed bean and veggie salad
- quinoa
- protein-rich coconut chia pudding

What more like this? Stay tuned for recipes and what our meals look like this week.

When it comes to feeding your baby - the size of the food you offer them matters.

6–8 Months: The “Palmar Grasp” Phase
At this stage, babies use their entire palm to pick up food. They cannot yet pick up small pieces, so the goal is “long and sturdy.”

The Rule: Finger-sized spears.

9–10 Months: The “Pincer Grasp” Phase
Babies are beginning to use their thumb and index finger to pick up smaller items. You can now move away from long spears.

The Rule: Chickpea-sized bites

11–12+ Months The “Table Foods” Phase
By now, babies are often eating modified versions of whatever the rest of the family is having.

The Rule: variously sized, bite-sized pieces

Parents with picky eaters - I see you! I know you’re trying so hard while still dreading the mealtime battle. I know you just want them to be healthy and to just eat their food, while they continue to challenge you on everything.

They want a snack. They don’t want dinner.
They’re full. They’re done. And they didn’t even try it.

Oh what’s that? Half hour later and they’re hungry?

If any of this sounds familiar, and you’re ready to take action and start reversing your child’s picky eating, reach out to start working together.

Got a picky eater?
Are you finding yourself stuck catering to them just so they eat, and not sure how to move towards getting them to eat the family meal?

The first step in getting your kid to eat is letting them get comfortable with new or unfamiliar foods. We can’t expect our kids to suddenly pick up a piece of broccoli if they never have the chance to see it.

If you’ve tried it all and nothing has worked. Have you tried working with me? Together we can help repair your child’s relationship around food, and get them feeling more comfortable at meals to explore new foods.

Bulgogi Beef & Broccoli
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds thinly sliced beef (ask your butcher for this or cut your steak after placing in the freezer for 30-60 mins)
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated/minced ginger
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 head of broccoli, chopped into small pieces
Optional shredded carrot, thinly sliced onion and cabbage (approx 1/2 cup of each)
2 tbsp canola oil (for frying)

Directions:
1. Combine soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic and ginger
2. Pour the marinade over the sliced beef and coat well. Store in a dish or ziplock bag and allow to marinate for at least 8-12 hours, up to 48 hours. You can also marinate and place in the freezer to use later.
3. To a pan on medium high heat, add canola oil and, working in batches, sear the beef, moving around until each piece is cooked. Set cooked beef aside and continue cooking the rest of the beef.
4. Add more oil to the pan if needed, and sauté the onion, carrot, cabbage if using then add the broccoli. Add 1-2 tbsp water and cover for 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove the lid and add the beef back, mix the beef and vegetables until everything coated in the sauce, cooled and heated through.
6. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with rice or noodles.

It may not be possible every single day, but the evidence is clear - there are many benefits to sitting down for a family meal that goes well beyond role modelling eating a variety of foods.
