It is exam time for high school kids. Quick and easy snacks are useful with the focus on high fibre wholegrains/fruit matched with protein from nuts/cheese to keep their brains turning.

Good luck for exams and summer is just around the corner!

Hope your night is filled with ‘jump scares’ and lots of fun 👻

If you have ended up with a giant lolly stash, then allow your child to enjoy them with their own self-regulation. Then serve them over the next few weeks alongside some whole foods, such as veggies, cheese, or wholegrains.

And make sure they share some with you!! 🎃

If you are spoon feeding your baby, some things to look for in the spoon:
👉 it is soft on gums
👉 it has some options to help with self-feeding
👉 it has a shallow spoon

If you would like to know everything about starting solids, then purchase Jenny’s Starting solids video (with the YUM cookbook too!) from the shop!

If you follow a vegan diet it can be useful to plan meals, so that you can meet your nutritional needs. This includes planning for:
- regular protein sources that contain iron and zinc
- having vitamin C with meals to help with iron absorption
- using calcium fortified milk alternatives
- consider supplements such as vitamin B12 and D
- balancing fibres to avoid gut discomfort

If you are worried about you or your child not meeting nutritional needs on a vegan diet, then touch base to chat to Jenny.

So excited to see this book winning the awards it deserves. It was a true pleasure to be part of the making of this fantastic cookbook with Blended by Sarah 😊

Well hello there, Gold Place. ❤️ 🏆
I’m so proud to share that Blended,  Sharing Recipes for Love & Stories for Life has just won GOLD in the Health & Well-Being category at the ABLE Golden Book Awards ✨

This book means so much to so many people. It’s more than blended tube feeding recipes,  it’s personal stories, connection, and hope. Fifteen incredible blend families came together to share their experiences and help others feel less alone on this journey. Their honesty, courage, and kindness made this possible.

To everyone who contributed, supported, bought a copy, or shared a story, thank you. 💚

This Gold is for all of us, for every tubie family doing their best every single day, and for every clinician and supporter who believes in the power of whole food and choice.
From my heart, thank you.

Oh, and link in bio to grab one of the few remaining copies before they sell out!
