Or something like that. I could go and look at the pack but it's too far away...
Basically they are smaller than normal Shredded Wheat, so they're easy for the babies to hold onto. Obviously they're wheat, but salt-wise there's just a trace measurement so that's fine. I just microwave them for five seconds in a splash of cows' milk (because We Are One, y'know), so  they absorb the milk and soften a little. Babybear eats about fifteen of these in a sitting, she loves them with a banana. Good news, as Babybear was becoming - dare I say it? - a little bored with porridge pancakes. More to the point, they are pretty clean breakfast so essential for those morning when a quick getaway is required.


Post Script
Littleducks from Mumsnet has pointed out that it was she who told me about Mini Shreddies, and has therefore demanded due credit. (Diva.)

Oh yes, goose. We've had goose for the last couple of years after a miserable experience with a turkey whose flesh was as dry as a nun's gusset. Anyway, Happy Christmas.
The goose cost about a squillion pounds and was, if I say so myself, cooked to juicy perfection. Needless to say she didn't like it as much as roast chicken.

I know I've not been around much (bad, busy Aitch and her annoying computer that hasn't been working properly) but I'm officially Orf Work until January the 2nd so hurrah and huzzah it's back to business.

And the most recent Finger Food that Babybear ate was, of course, birthday cake. I'd love to say I whipped it up myself but rather amazingly Babybear was born on what is officially the most difficult and hectic work weekend of the year. Well done that girl. And the fact that my friend was having a 40th Birthday party in a ma-hoosive country house the same weekend meant that I have been under some strain getting my job done in advance.

So the poor darling made do with an M&S Victoria sponge as it's her father's favourite, but I did put some more icing sugar on it to make it purty. Everyone sang, her one candle flickered dangerously, and very soon Babybear was wolfing down a substantial amount of flour, sugar and E numbers. Luckily she was fast asleep in her travel cot before the sugar crash arrived. And I was picking crumbs off my party frock for the rest of the night...

Just discovered that pomegranate segments ( the small wee bits inside -  segments, seeds dunno? )  make a great finger food. I think that pomegranates are just the best thing ever so I’m really glad that Boomer has also taken a liking to them. The only thing is that they are possibly the most expensive fruit  but worth it. Pomegranates are one of these things that you see listed as super foods , and I do think they are just super too. Apparenty they are a natural contraceptive too, don’t know what quantities you have to eat though – or maybe you don’t eat it ….must stop there.

 

It doesn’t mention pomegranates specifically in the allergy food guides so not sure if its one of these dangerous fruits or not – anybody got a clue?
