I’m always looking for healthy and tasty birthday cake ideas and this time I really wanted to bake a summer cake that could also work as a light and fluffy dessert for other occasions. Also, my kids are not big fans of frosting and creams. When we go to birthday parties with cupcakes they always remove the frosting top and eat the muffin below only. So I decided to bake […]

Are you looking for an easy breakfast idea for your kids? What about a banana chia seeds pudding without refined sugars? In one teaspoon you will have protein + Omega3 fatty acids + carbs + fiber. All excellent to start the day with good energy. What really makes the difference between a fruit puree and a nutritious pudding is the chia: those little seeds change both the texture and the […]

Directly from the Italian tradition (with a vegetarian twist) one of the most indulgent dessert ever: panna cotta, literally translated with “cooked cream”. It’s a perfect summertime quick dessert that will literally please EVERYBODY as it is silky, creamy and (I’m not kidding) addictive 😉 The fresh berries coulis (I used strawberries and raspberries) it’s an amazing summer complement to the panna cotta. In winter you can easily substitute it […]

I do have a passion for puddings or “spoon desserts”, creamy and delicate. Thanks to the fact that they are a very good idea for a snack or breakfast for kids and babies I have a wonderful excuse to prepare them for my kids and have a spoon myself 🙂 Today’s recipe came out one day when I was going to prepare a pudding for my Luca (3 yrs) and my […]

After this weekend I can definitely say that popsicle (ice pops) season is arrived. I love homemade popsicles: you can use seasonal fruit and avoid all the sugar and food coloring that they use in the store bought ones. It’s simply healthier and less expencive…and it’s extremely easy! While I was preparing some pops for my little Luca (3 yrs) I was looking at baby Alex curious face (1 yr) […]

This is a good recipe for our little ones and a new breakfast idea for the rest of the family. Quinoa..so many good properties! Tecnically it’s not a cereal, it’s a seed, but it can be used in cooking as a cereal. Why I like it and I suggest it for babies and kids? Has a very delicate taste, it is an amazing source of protein, iron, potassium and other […]

Tiramisu’, a traditional creamy delicious Italian dessert. The word “tirami su” in Italian means “lift me up”…and this is what this dessert does, lifts your spirit up!!! Both me and Joanne from FifteenSpatulas LOVE the tiramisu’, so we decided to collaborate and prepare two versions of it, the traditional one and the baby one! Joanna will show you how to make the traditional coffee and mascarpone Tiramisu’…a delightful, decadent, velvety […]

Today we have a very special video: I’ve been invited by Tastemade to prepare a recipe with Rob Nixon (Nicko’s Kitchen. Yessss, him!! If you are from Australia or if you love food vlogging you know whom I’m talking about) It has been an exciting and fun experience that I would love to share with you with today’s video. We made Christmas cookies! We prepared a colored and yummy version […]

Peaches or apricots, difficult to choose, Luca loves them both! This time he helped me picking them one by one at the farmers’ market (he’s getting a big boy!!). They were perfect for today’s recipe, the sweet fruit pudding. Warm or cold (it’s up to your taste) it’s a perfect snack for your baby and dessert for the whole family. For babies under 12 months you can switch almond + […]
