Recipe: Yummy red lentil dhal recipe made with pumpkin that makes perfect baby food or a delicious accompaniment to roti bread for the rest of the family.

What’s wrong with having one meal a week that’s vegetarian? Meals like this go a long way, very cheap and good for you. It’s a great way to get those kiddies eating those vegetables without complaining.

Baby food needn’t be boring, and the addition of herbs and spices is the perfect way to add new flavours to your baby’s developing palate. This dish also has the benefits of red lentils, a legume which is high in fibre, protein and carbohydrates and low in salt.

In my house we love tacos. It’s a great and easy way to get your kids to eat salad. I came up with this because my eldest daughter has food intolerances and I am watching my (and hubby’s) waist line. It was quick and easy for the kids to make their own because they stand up by themselves. Give it a try the kids will love them.
