Welcome to My Baby Eats, a space where I share baby and toddler-friendly recipes designed for busy, health-conscious families just like ours!
With Baby#1 (now 6 year old PK) I homemade all baby and toddler food, and was so diligent as first-time mums are in following paediatric advice (particularly in relation to starting solids and introducing allergens). I truly believe that introducing him to a wide range of homemade foods helped shape his adventurous palate and healthy eating habits.
When Baby #2, LJ, came along, I wanted to continue that tradition. Along with him came a Thermomix TM6! As a busy mum now juggling life with two little ones, I was drawn to anything that could save time and make wholesome, homemade meals easier. And let me tell you, the Thermomix has been a game-changer!
But I struggled to find free, simple, and cost-effective Thermomix recipes that aligned with the latest Australian guidelines for baby feeding and allergen introduction.
That’s when My Baby Eats was born – a blog dedicated to providing easy-to-follow recipes for both Thermomix users and parents cooking the traditional way.
At My Baby Eats, I’m passionate about:
Whole food recipes: Meals packed with nutritious, family-friendly ingredients.
Quality tested, kid approved recipes: Developing and testing all recipes published here. My family are the primary taste testers! Each recipe is tested at least 5 times, using both the regular and Thermomix methods. Most recipes have been made WAY more times than that, as they’re regulars on our family’s meal plan!
Allergen-inclusive recipes: Introducing allergenic foods from 6 months of age, following the latest Australian paediatric advice.
Accessibility: Sharing regular and Thermomix cooking instructions, so every parent can feel empowered to make homemade meals, with or without fancy gadgets.
But here’s my disclaimer! I am not a child health practitioner, dietician, nutritionist or baby-food expert! I’m just a mum who loves to read, write and create, and who wants to share with and empower other parents to be the best chefs/caterers/lunchbox makers they can be for their kids! If you have any concerns with feeding your baby or toddler including when to start solids, how to introduce allergens etc., always consult your child health practitioner.
I admit that early into my marriage I never cooked. That was my husband’s job (what a win, right?!) while I taught at a university and completed my PhD in Education. He worked too, but seemed to love the process of cooking and so it was.
But my experience with food and cooking began in my teens. During my later high school and university years, I pursued hospitality education and worked in restaurants, gaining valuable experience in the food industry. I was lucky enough to teach hospitality basics too to middle schoolers when first beginning my education career.
A few years and two gorgeous boys later, I’m now in charge of the kitchen! And I’ve combined that early foundation with a passion for feeding my young family. I’ve come to love cooking, and do a lot more of it – but still want to save time! My approach? Delicious, nutritious, kid friendly meals that don’t take all day to prepare!
Browse through my recipe categories – from purees, finger food, breakfasts, family mains, sides, and sweet treats. I’d love to hear how they work for you, so please leave a comment or review after you try them! If you have questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] or connect with me on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.
Together, we can make mealtime simpler, healthier, and happier.
Happy cooking!
