Verdict on the rice pudding...

it was yummy...think i would probably enjoy it colder.

There is more than four servings there...

Would have been nice if its sweeter so maybe next time i would use more apple and even finsh it of with some natural yogurt to make it a lil creamier

You could add sweetner to make it sweeter? It's free

Menu looks lovely, loving the experimentation!! Your portions seem so diddy compared to what I eat, I'm terrible for piling my plate high or making too much and not wanting to leave any!!

If you're hungry, eat! We all have days which require more food than others.

I tend to drink a large glass of water and if I'm still hungry 20 minutes later it's genuine hunger so fill your boots!

If you deny yourself then you're more likely to
A) snack on something bad later
B) your body will hold onto food if it feels deprived

Your right! I've found myself doing that bad habit where you go have a stare into the fridge....

Luckily there's plenty of strawberries and other fruits at easy reach...funny how it hard to choose that...would have loved some cake a custard

I am going to equally my increased appetite to Malita now wanting to feed nearly like every 2-3hours like a new born unlike before 4-5hrs. So guess y body is trying to keep up with her demands.

I hope this is just a grow spurt and not her need solids just yet as I enjoy breasting feeding and I wanted to wait till 6/7months to start formula and food.
