Breakfast lately is a struggle. Stupidly I thought Bella is not hungry or she does not like oats or egg. Soon I realized that I myself have set us up for failure….my child is just allergic to boring food! She is a foodie. An adventurous eater. Like her mom, she knows life is too short to eat the same breakfast every morning! 🙄🙄

🥹🥹🥹🥹 Here I am….Proud mama!! 👌🏻👌🏻You go girl!

Bella’s Breakfast
🧇🫐 Wholewheat waffles with cheese, full cream plain yogurt & blueberries

:
*Use the same main element and make a different dish for next time! Re-use the basics👌🏻🍌

🧇Make waffle sandwiches to freeze!! 🧇
Make a batch of wholewheat waffles, spread a thin layer of plain yogurt on one waffle, sprinkle on finely chopped blueberries and a little grated cheese.
Top with another waffle and cut into fingers or quarters.
Freeze them individually on a tray, then store in a freezer bag.

When you need them: Just pop one into the toaster or air fryer until warm and crispy.

A little something for everyone 🤍

This little red Mini waffle pan is the best! So easy to use and clean and you can turn a boring dish into something sooooo cute!

I got mine from Takealot a while back, but I see Amazon has them for a better price now👌🏻🤑

Every day I cook for Bella, I am reminded what a balanced meal truly needs to look like. Protein, carbs, healthy fats. Easy as pie. But not a pie🥧😋 She absolutely adores fruit and gets her fruit portions in during the day(choosing them herself by the way!☝️) when she is active but no fruit at dinner as that sets off the little energy rocket and then there is little sleepy time for mommy.🫣😂

Tonight’s Bella special:
🧆Homemade Chicken Meatballs, cauli mash and peas!

✅Bella approved!

: They eat such small portions, its so difficult to cook a little bit everything with every meal. Rather cook bigger batches of the staples like brown rice, quinoa, peas etc. and portion them into these small plastic containers. Then label and freeze! ❄️ Perfectly ready to pop out and warm up when needed.

Now look, Munchkin straw cups are great, but Bella somehow has the magical power of turning any water drinking device into a “water spill device”

Enter superhero Daddy .pieter who found the most practical spill-proof (it really is Bella spill proof) straw cup from !! Yes, definitely a lifesaver/countersaver/carpetsaver/outfitsaver and more.🥤🧃

There is nothing more special then cooking for someone and experiencing their joy then they eat your food. Especially if it’s your toddler. And especially if the multitude of sound effects include “yummmmm” “yummmmmyyyy”, “oeeeee” and “blief” for more! 😂🤤🤤😋

Tonight’s Bella special:
🥦Homemade Farm Salami, Broccoli and cheddar fritattas with some cottage cheese for that protein boost!

✅Bella approved!

Another firm favourite🥇She started with three and ended up eating five!

: Make a bunch as they are great to freeze and warm up when you are strapped for time❄️

Also, this red silicone mini muffin tray is a lifesaver!! It is so easy to use as nothing sticks and its the perfect bite size for little Bella hands. I make everything in this - from mini muffins, browny bites, and yogurt cups all the way to baby Bobotie! Grab yours (in fact grab 2) from today! Trust me😉🧁

Life lately at Lilly’s Kitchen 🍓✨

My “gourmet multi-course dinners” look a little different these days… my audience has shifted to the toddler crowd 👶🏼💗And might I add a very honest and opinionated one.😝

Cooking for my 1-year-old Bella means simple, nourishing, and made with so much love. Think balanced little plates with protein, healthy fats, and veggies — tiny portions, big care, and lots of messy moments in between 🥑🍝

I’m so excited to start sharing more of Bella’s daily meals — real, wholesome, balanced ideas for little eaters (and inspiration for busy moms).

Tonight’s Bella special:
🫛Ham & Pea Pasta made with Chickpea spaghetti & cottage cheese for that protein boost!
✅Bella approved!
It was a winner🥇

There's something incredibly satisfying about growing and nurturing something you can use. This delicious little gem has been flourishing beautifully in a dark corner in my pantry. This was my first batch and it turned out to be a great success! I'm thrilled to fill my pantry heaven with a variety of flavors. I absolutely love the taste, and it's fantastic for gut health!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Heritage day | Sunday lunch.

When its raining and its cold, what better to cosy up with a hot plate of food, beautiful red wine ( )and excellent neighborly company!

Since it was Heritage day, I decided to fancy up our traditional Boerekos sunday lunch.

We started off with a creamy white wine West Coast mussel soup.

Instead of an oven roasted leg of lamb, we did a deboned leg of lamb on the braai with my delicious secret Lilly’s Kitchen Green sauce. 🍖🥬

Instead of traditional soetpatats, I did whole roasted baby sweet potatoes in a Miso Caramel with toasted sesame seeds🤤🍠🍯

Instead of green bean stew, we did a green bean salad and of course no Sunday lunch is complete without potatoes!! So the infamous duck fat potatoes took a bow at my Heritage lunch - these babies were coated in a sage and rosemary rub and sizzled away in duck fat in the oven for 30 mins until golden and crispy

What a privilege to be able to make a cake for my dearest friend Yanou for her Kitchen Tea. She loves tea and when we used to teach together we shared so many moments of our lives with each other over a cup of tea. Tea kept us alive. It was the comfort when we had to deal with some of the saddest moments of our lives as well as the celebration drink to new beginnings and of course the only thing that kept us going when rehearsing very long ours on theatre productions. I found the most amazing Williams James tea duo and cake plate and a very special set of cake forks ’s Attic to complete my vision for this cake. The cake was layers of Gluten free, sugar free Lemon poppy seed cake and my mother’s delicious Orange cake. I whipped up a lemon honey creme fraiche filling in between the layers and smothered the cake with a citrus cream cheese frosting. And voila - cake and gift combo done! 🍋🍊🎂🍰💜

I am going back to Granni’s Attic to find more treasures as they just have incredible goodies! And they are the nicest people. They were so helpfull taking extra time to help me look for the perfect star items for my vision. Thanks guys⭐️⭐️🙌🏼🙌🏼
