This is exactly why conversations like this MATTER!

When I bf my first, I had so much anxiety about feeding in front of people. I’d genuinely not want to leave the house, I’d worry when people were coming over, and would often leave the room or wait to feed him… which just meant an anxious mum and an unhappy baby.

By baby 2 and 3, I genuinely did not care 😂

But I know there will be first-time mums seeing comments like those made from the girls on that podcast and feel even more self conscious.

So if that’s you: feed your baby. You do not need to hide, wait or make yourself uncomfortable for someone else 🤍

Sorry if this gives you the scaries thinking about Christmas in September 🤣

But hopefully there are a couple of gift ideas in here for you… and in return PLEASE give me some because I swear we already own every toy ever made 🤣😭

Some of these are definitely getting better with age… others are hanging on for dear life 🤪🤣

APPLE CRUMBLE CAKE 🍎🍰

This was SO good and actually much easier than it looks. Save this one for a your next dessert 🤌🏼

For the apples:
4 apples, peeled & chopped
1 tbsp sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
Small splash of water

Pop everything into a pan and cook until the apples have softened but still have a little bite.

For the cake:
200g butter, softened
200g caster sugar
4 eggs
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp vanilla
1–2 tbsp milk
A little cinnamon

Cream the butter and sugar, then add the eggs gradually. Mix in the vanilla, flour and cinnamon, adding a splash of milk if needed.

For the crumble:
125g plain flour
90g oats
100g brown sugar
50g white sugar
170g butter
1 tsp cinnamon

Rub/mix together until you have a crumbly texture.

Bake at 170°C fan for around 45–55 minutes, until a skewer into the cake comes out clean.
(If the crumble is getting too dark, loosely cover with foil)

Honestly… warm with custard or ice cream 10/10 😮‍💨🍎✨

Not sure I’d be quite so game to let Trent pick the whole takeaway though… 🤣😭 because a bad Saturday night takeaway genuinely has the potential to ruin my entire week… (not to be dramatic xoxo) 😂

5 dinners we ate this week as a family of five 🍴🥘🤎

Because sometimes the hardest part of feeding a family is just coming up with what to make 😂

MONDAY - Sausage Pasta 🌶️
Based on the sausage ragu recipe. Fry sausages (skins removed), then add onion, garlic, chilli flakes + rosemary, then add 2 tins chopped tomatoes + 1 tbsp sugar and simmer. Add to the sauce 150ml milk + lemon zest and simmer again. Toss through cooked pasta + finish with

TUESDAY - Cottage Pie w/ Potato Waffles 🥔
Brown mince with onion + beef, add beef stock, gravy granules and simmer until thickened. Pop into an oven dish, top with frozen potato waffles instead of mash + bake until golden and crispy (add cheese right at the end). SO much less faff than mashed potatoes 😂

WEDNESDAY - Midweek Roast Dinner 🍗
Whole roast chicken with crispy duck-fat roasties + honey butter roasted carrots, all covered in gravy. Full video for this dinner is already up!

THURSDAY - Fajita Bowls 🌯
Chicken, peppers + onions tossed in fajita seasoning & oil and roasted together on a tray. Served with rice, black beans, tortilla chips, lettuce, tomatoes + sour cream. Everyone just builds their own bowl with whatever they like!

FRIDAY - Salt & Pepper Chicken + Chips 🌶️
Toss chicken pieces in cornflour + salt & pepper seasoning and cook in the air fryer until crispy. Season the chips with the same seasoning + air fry. Fry sliced onions, peppers + garlic in a pan, then toss our chicken + chips through the veg once cooked.
I kept the kids’ portions separate before adding everything together and served with curry sauce. Basically our homemade version of a spice bag… minus the bag 😂

Anyway, that’s another week of dinners done 😂 Hopefully there’s something in here to add to next week’s meal plan! 🤎
