Feeding a New Mum

Those newborn days can be a blur as you get to know your sweet baby. Eating nutritious and healthy meals is very important but may not be the easiest thing to organise with your new addition!

I found it so helpful to have meals given to me as a new mum, and so when my sister had her baby I knew I wanted to help her out too.

I decided to create some breakfast, lunch and dinner options on the go for quick, easy and healthy meals.

Below are the items I took around to her.



Her breakfast should be easier with this Paleo Granola and some fruit- I added pre-packed fruit so that there was no chopping or peeling required.



Lunch was a few of these pouch soups- I love them because some of the flavours are gluten free and all of them are delicious! I also added some rice cups to go with the dinners.



I had five dinners ready to go in these Glad containers, as well as a container of stir fry vegetables to go with the meatballs. The freezer meals are:

• Fiesta Chicken Bake
• Spinach Enchiladas double serving (originally vegetarian but I added ground lamb)
• Chicken Pesto Meatballs
• Classic Mac and Cheese

Five days worth of meals sorted for new parents- I know it is the kind of gift I would like to receive!

WCW- Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken

Pineapple Chicken is a favourite in our house for those days when we don't get home until 5:30 and want something hot and ready to eat. The slow cooker is one of my most used kitchen appliances.

The ingredients are all commonly found in your pantry and fridge- lots of pineapple is a must!



All you have to do is put everything in the slow cooker, leave to cook for 6 hours, then serve with your favourite vegetables and some steamed rice. Not the prettiest of dishes but it tastes so sweet and full of bursts of freshness from the pineapple.
