Hi.


I started a blog about food after my daughter was born and have a few ideas on finger food and Baby Led Weaning. I have not been great with updating since I went back to work, but it may give you a couple of ideas..

Thanks

Savoury muffins are a good one - you can make them with whichever vegetables you like. Spinach and feta ones were a hit for my little one.

Also, wholemeal pittas (cut up) with a little bit of filling - cheese, ham? Breadsticks handy for on the go. Carrot/pepper/celery sticks?

Pancakes! With blueberries, cheese and chopped ham, mashed banana, grated sweet potato.


Potato cakes - left-over mashed potato with enough plain flour added in to make it stretchy and not too sticky, roll into balls and squish flat, cook on dry frying pan until lightly browned on each side, butter and eat straight away. Great with grated cheese or chopped ham in, or mashed other veg.


Fishcakes - mashed potato, and a roughly equal amount of tuna (tinned) or salmon (steamed or tinned), a beaten egg and a spot of flour, or you can make them more floury and lose the egg. If you can be bothered, you can do the whole dipping in flour, egg and breadcrumbs thing, but moulded with a spoon or hands and floured a little on the outside works fine too and seems to go down well in our house.


Chunky roast veg. with hummus or sour cream to dip them into.


Chunky fish like mackerel is good finger food. Or salmon steamed and left in biggish pieces with potatoes and broccoli, maybe with creme fraiche.


Frittata - with any left-over potatoes or veg fried a bit before you add the egg, cheese, even frozen peas (I found this was the easiest way for my baby to eat peas before he mastered pincer fingers!)


Hope that helps. My tummy's rumbling now.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying. 
    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
