    Vegetable Pancakes

    As a mum to a bub who is loving to explore her new foods, I have found a great way to make sure she still self feeds and gets her veggie intake. We use buckwheat pancake mix for this; it’s a good starter for bubs before the introduction of wheat, and we use it as we are allergy prone.
