We've all had little coughs and colds over Christmas and we needed something lovely and nutritious to perk us all up. My mum made this delicious leek and potato soup and Anya absolutely loved it. Though obviously it had to be spoon fed. Even I had to spoon feed myself!
And I know why I love BLW. It's just so convenient everyone eating our meals together and having a chat and generally getting on with it. I love my food. I'll never be skinny because I could never eat such a small amount to make me skinny. But what I also love about food is the pleasure of actually eating it.
Having kids generally means meal times are a bit of a chore whether spoon feeding of following BLW. My 3 year old still asks me to blow her food if it's too hot. She'll cut everything up but she just can't cool it down like I can. If hers is too hot then it generally means that Anya's is too hot so I'm also trying to cool hers down out of sight. If Anya sees her food and can't eat it she gets very stroppy!
If I'm spoon feeding then it really is just a big chore. I have to cool down Anya's food (and possibly Mia's) then feed her and all the while my tea is just sat there getting cold. So when it comes to eating it it's very cold. And I still have to rush it down because the kids have finished and now want to 'do things'.
I've been putting off making soup for this very reason but sometimes it's just inevitable.
So for a treat my husband and I are having a take away tonight after the kids have gone to bed. I'm going to really enjoy this and the kids better stay asleep!
