- CREPE PIZZA PANCAKE TUESDAY 🍕🥞 FOLLOW @babyledfeeding for easy baby led weaning recipes that you can also eat as a busy parent too!
This is one of the best Pancake Tuesday recipes I’ve ever made. It’s so quick and easy and amazing if you are a busy mum and don’t want to stand at the cooker flipping pancakes for hours…which usually is what happens in my house.
As a baby led weaning finger food, cut into thin strips, making sure the peppers are really soft, then serve with a side of fruit and a preloaded spoon with something like thick Greek yogurt.
All of the ingredients are from your local @dunnesstores. Comment RECIPE and I’ll send the recipe straight to your DMs.

Paid partnership
Creamy Chicken & Spinach Pasta | I love recipes that come with a dash of nostalgia and this one never fails to deliver. In what now feels like another life, I was in a band with my Swedish pal Jonathan and, while staying at his place, I picked up this great recipe from his family. Ingredients from @dunnesstores 💛
Serves: 4
Time: 30 mins
300g tagliatelle
1 tbsp olive oil
A knob of butter
400g skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thick strips
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
50g ready-to-use sun-dried tomatoes
150g baby spinach leaves
250ml single cream
Parmesan shavings, to serve
Basil leaves, to serve
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan and, when foaming, fry the chicken for about 4–6 minutes or until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper before adding the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and fry until the spinach has wilted.
2. Add the cream and bring to a steady simmer for 3–4 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the sauce. Toss well and serve straightaway with some fresh basil leaves & Parmesan shavings.6d

Carrot and Mint Soup
Most people will have carrots, onions and potatoes in their pantry – I’m using the first little shoots of fresh mint to flavour my batch of carrot soup today.
This soup may be served either hot or cold, don’t hesitate to put in a good pinch of sugar, it brings up the flavour.
560g(1 1/4lb/3 cups) carrots, preferably organic, chopped
45g(1 1/2oz/scant 1/2 stick) butter
110g(4oz) onion, chopped
150g(5oz) potatoes, chopped
salt,freshly ground pepper and sugar
sprig of spearmint
1.2litres (2 pints/5 cups) homemade light chicken or vegetable stock
62ml(2 1/2fl oz/generous 1/4 cup) creamy milk, (optional)
3 teaspoons freshly chopped spearmint
Garnish
a little lightly whipped cream or crème fraiche
sprigs of spearmint
Melt the butter and when it foams add the chopped vegetables, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and sugar. Add a sprig of mint, cover with a butter paper (to retain the steam) and a tight fitting lid.Leave to sweat gently on a low heat for about 10 minutes approx.Remove the lid, add the boiling stock and cook until the vegetables are soft. Pour into the liquidiser, add 3 teaspoons of freshly chopped mint and puree until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Adda little creamy milk if necessary.

Roasted Garlic Champ with Pure Irish Butter
This traditional Irish peasant food gets an upgrade with the help of some pure Irish butter and decadent truffle oil. The snap of fresh chives adds a finishing touch to an old-fashioned side made new again.
Ingredients:
- 1 garlic bulb (about 3 ounces)
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter
- 8 teaspoons truffle oil
- 4 teaspoons minced fresh chives
Directions:
Heat oven to 400° F. Cut off the top 1/2 to 1 inch off garlic bulb to expose cloves. Wrap garlic in foil, place in baking pan and bake until soft and browned, about 45 minutes. Squeeze garlic from skins. Meanwhile, in large saucepan over high heat, bring 1 quart water to boil. Add potatoes, cover and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Heat milk in microwave oven until steaming, about 1 minute. Pour milk over potatoes, add roasted garlic and mash with potato masher. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon onto four plates or small bowls. Make a well in the middle of each serving and fill with 1 tablespoon Kerrygold Butter. Drizzle each serving with 2 teaspoons truffle oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chives.

Ginger & Lime Baked Cheesecake with Irish Strawberry Compote
Ingredients (Serves 6-8)
For The Base:
2 Packs of Simply Better Handmade Oat & Ginger Cookies, crushed
75g Butter, plus extra for greasing
For The Compote:
1 Bag of Simply Better Expertly Grown Frozen Irish Strawberries
250ml Simply Better Handmade Irish Raspberry & Wexford Rhubarb Cordial
For the Filling:
3 Simply Better Free Range Corn Fed Large Eggs
500g Cream Cheese
100g Caster Sugar
1Tbsp Cornflour
Finely Grated Rind and Juice of 2 Limes
1 Vanilla Pod, split in half lengthways and seeds scraped out
To Serve:
Simply Better Single Source Irish Jersey Cream, lightly whipped
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C Lightly butter a 9inch loose-bottomed cake tin and line with non-stick baking or parchment paper.
2. To make the base, melt the butter in a pan set over a gentle heat. Add the crushed cookies and mix well. Spread the mixture over the base of the tin, pressing down with the back of a spoon to flatten. Place in the oven for 10 minutes to firm up.
3. Remove the tin from the oven and set aside. Place a dish of hot water in the oven on the bottom rack – this will stop a skin forming on the cheesecake. Place the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lime rind and juice, vanilla seeds and cornflour in a mixing bowl and beat together until smooth with an electric whisk.
4. Pour this mixture into the cake tin and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 35-45 minutes until lightly golden. The filling should still be a bit wobbly at this stage. Turn off the oven, open the door and leave to cool completely. The filling will set as it cools.
5. To make the compote, place the leftover vanilla pod in a saucepan with the cordial and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened. Place the strawberries in the pan and poach the berries for 2-3 minutes until softened but still holding their shape. Remove the vanilla pod before serving.
6. To serve, slice the cheesecake into wedges and serve with some cream and the poached strawberries.
