Valentines meals for your little ones

It must be LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! (That’s what I tell myself when I’m changing the nappies.)

There are so many songs with love in their title and there are so many ways to show your little one just how much you love them this Valentines Day.

We’ve put together 3 valentines meals that you can serve to the apples of your eye.

BREAKFAST

With a skewer, write a little message in the banana skin and leave for 10minutes. (Keep hold of the skewer for later). You can make pink porridge by adding in some raspberries – the frozen variety cool it down quickly if they’ve woken up a bit hangry.

LUNCH

Cut their favourite sandwich into heart shapes using a shape cutter and serve with pink coleslaw.

RECIPE for PINK COLESLAW

Into a food processor grate

  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 small red onion
  • ½ red cabbage

Add

  • 2 heaped tbs mayonnaise
  • A little crushed garlic

Mix well

ENJOY!

DINNER

Make them all gooey inside with these love bites and finish with a bouquet of strawberries (remembering to take them off the skewer to serve)

Although some of the babies might not be able to say it yet, you are their absolute world and they love you to pieces.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
