Frozen watermelon lollies Babyccino Kids: Daily tips, Children's products, Craft ideas, Recipes & More

May 15, 2014

I saw an image of iced watermelon lollies on Pinterest last week and thought that was about the best idea ever! How simple and perfect for summer. Since we’re having a ‘mini’ heat wave here in London this week, I decided to make them for the kids as an after-school snack. The kids agree — best idea ever!

p.s. I love how 22° qualifies as a heat wave in England : )
p.p.s. Come join us on Pinterest! We’re addicted — so much inspiration all in one place!

Great idea! But hilarious about 22 as a heat wave! It is 23 degrees here in Melbourne Australia today, a lovely warm autumn day but everyone is still in long sleeves and jackets!

Put it on a skewer! A lunch box tip to try

Your new favourite, easy peasy, allergy-friendly chocolate fudge cake

For our first playdate since lockdown has eased in the UK, I decided to bake a little chocolate cake with Joey to celebrate.

The tricky thing was working around the dietary requirements ...

Ottolenghi's new 'Simple' cookbook

I received Ottolenghi's new 'Simple' cookbook in a gift exchange on Christmas Day, and it has quickly become our go-to cookbook. I have Ottolenghi's first two cookbooks, but admittedly found the recipes in those books to be too time consuming or they required too many hard-to-track-down ingredients that the recipes were impossible to make. His ...

Introducing solids and a few of Wilkie's favourite meals

When Easton was a baby and it came time to introduce solids, I took it all quite seriously and truthfully found it a bit stressful. I had been told I had to wait until six months to start, so we waited until the day he turned six months old. I had also read somewhere that ...

Classic French Fruit Tarte

This year is a year of plums in the French countryside – the trees are falling over with them!! I tried to vary a little bit from my usual solution to this 'problem', which is to bake a clafoutis every day. This year, I tried one of the most traditional French desserts: a fruit tarte.
