Do you make the pastries yourself, or use the frozen ones?? That's a great idea!

Jackson is being soooo fussy lately. He'll barely eat any of the lovely fresh food I make him, but will gladly eat jar food So lately I've been giving up a bit and giving him jar food either lunch or dinner so that at least he has one good meal

We still aren't doing morning and avo tea unless we are out. I feel kinda bad but really, there isn't a lot of time for it in the morning with her sleep (she wakes just before lunch) and I guess I could give her something at avo tea but until we get a table and chair for her I don't want it in the highchair and I can't stand walking around the house with food.

Mean mummy

They were frozen ones. I had a friend come over & I had no groceries, so pulled some emergency supplies out of the freezer!! They were yum, but the pastry was so flakey and got all over the floor...

Yep fritz = devon

I was kicking myself for using 3 eggs in the scramble as I didn't think in a million years she'd eat it all (if any!) and she devoured the LOT! Definately onto a winner with the scrambled eggs!

We use to share our meals with him too, unfortunely we can't really do that now unless we know its all gluten and dairy free. I often ask for my veges ect. on a seperate plate so he can have them, they are usually always alright with that.

Just thought I would share this recipe that I just made and will be trying it on Nina tonight,

It's pretty tasty - I tweaked the recipe based on what I had in the fridge. I used grated sweet potato, red onion, mushroom and frozen peas instead of zucchini and I added mozzarella cheese on the top before grilling.

Hijack- can I ask you gals a highchair question?? We are tossing up between a solid wooden high chair and a trendy plastic one that can be folded and put away for storage.

Is it good to be able to fold them and put them out of the way now and then?? Is it necessary? I am thinking when visitors come over and after child No 1 is finished using it and we are waiting for child No 2. Do you have yours out all the time??

We do have a big convenient cupboard that would easily fit it in stored away.

TIA
