The weaning process is in full swing and Belle is busy redecorating the kitchen with a variety of purees.Like her sister, she is especially talented at catapulting her dinner into far flung corners of the room. Her latest achievements include getting peaches on the clock and cementing a soggy Cheerio to her Daddy’s iPad. Fortunately he hasn’t noticed yet, and long may that continue. As cute as she is, I am not sure iSorry iCheeriod your iPad will be warmly received.Now while it’s fun to watch Belle exploring her food, I have to confess it also drives me nuts. I don’t mind so much if she’s flinging Ella’s Kitchen far and wide, but if it’s something I made myself, I object to spotting it on the ceiling later.Time is precious these days and making homemade meals for Chloe and Belle is a tricky business. I would like every mouthful to be appreciated rather than played with. But it’s not going to happen is it?Thankfully I am getting better at catering for all four of us with just one set of ingredients and one spell in the kitchen. Last weekend’s miracle was turning chicken, carrots, butternut squash and apples into casserole for us, soup for Chloe and mush for Belle. Last night, I even managed to steam salmon, sweet potatoes and zucchini for Belle whilst making a one-dish wonder for the rest of us. Bear with me; experienced Mums out there must be doing this all the time, but I am new to the multi-multi-tasking involved with having two kids.However, the learning curve is also providing me with some inspirational moments. And if like me, you aspire to providing healthy meals for your family but need to be able to do it in minutes then this recipe is for you. The prep for this took me precisely seven-and-a-half minutes, timed by the lovely husband (he has his uses). It’s also great for anyone who prefers to keep their kitchen clean-up to the bare minimum, as you really do just use one dish.If you are low-carbing it, then enjoy this recipe as is. The chick peas will provide you with a moderate amount of slow-releasing carbohydrate. However, I prefer to serve this with the Lundberg brown/wild rice. It makes it a bit more substantial for a family and gets in a serving of wholegrains too.Before I go a quick shout out for the Argus Health Fair!
