Breakfasts are always hit and miss here, Things One and Two as well as The Dude are absolute cereal killers,  we go through so much of the stuff we need shares in it.  We can't even substitute with the cheaper own brand versions because they know.

Cheerios I've always nicknamed Mother's Helpers because should you need to get something done in the kitchen they work tremendously well at occupying your baby/toddler whilst in their high chair (and handy for practicing their pincer grip and fine motor skills)

Weetabix in baby led weaning is Satan's diarrhea insofar as to say it gets everywhere and you need to pray to the antibacterial wipes and the gods of broken nails to clean it up.  Often you contemplate using fire or a pick axe.

Toast is often used at lunch and the floor isn't very hungry for it in the morning.

Currently as we're egg-free and dairy free that also rules out omelette and scrambled eggs.

So we turned to the baby led weaning favourite; porridge fingers.  

Chocolate Orgasm - Dairy Free & Egg Free

I'm a huge fan of chocolate brownies, I'm also very particular about them.  So often we get sold things under the guise of Brownie when what we get is a firm, dry chocolate sponge.  That is not a brownie.  Brownie should be thick, dense, moist and a wonderful marriage of gooey meets crumbly.

I was craving cake something chronic yesterday.  I had my chocolate head on and nothing else would do.  So I decided to make this messy, indulgent, filthily calorific concoction.  If chocolate had sex, this would be the orgasm.

Being dairy free and egg free should perhaps make me somewhat healthier in my approach to food.  That's utter bollocks though.  It just means you sulk more and work twice as hard to find crap you can eat.  One of these little gems is, bourbon biscuits!  (Generally supermarket own brand versions of these are both egg and dairy free)  So to make up for all the things I can't eat, I end up finding something I can eat and then proceed to eat four times more of that.  A few years ago I made some delicious Oreo cupcakes.  I don't have any Oreos but I do have Bourbon Creams.....

3 Ingredient Strawberry Yum

Seeing how Moomin enjoyed the 3 Ingredient Chocolate Goo, I had another play around with what we had in the cupboards so she'd have some more summer friendly, teething alleviating treats that are both dairy free and egg free.

3 Ingredient, dairy free & egg free, Chocolate Goo.

I'm aware that the blog is long overdue a Moomin update, I will rectify this soon, she's 10 months old now!  I will however tell you that currently Moomin and I are dairy free and egg free.  For a dairy junkie like myself this is a nightmare.  I seem to spend my time swinging between abject misery in emo territory and furiously Googling all the naughty things a dairy whore like me can eat.  When everything from supermarket sorbet (yes, really) to emergency Pot Noodles contain milk.  Not only are many dairy free and egg free items twice the price they're only half the taste, if you're lucky.  Cardboard infused with nettles.  You get my drift?

I did find an on-line recipe for vegan chocolate mousse,  Google seduced me with it's promises of sheer indulgent chocolate heaven.  It wooed me with suggestive sweet whispers that you can't taste the avocado.  It....lied.  Yes.  Lied.  All I could taste was avocado.  I couldn't even finish it.  Don't even get me started on the liquid evil that is soy milk.

Priorities first, chocolate and ice cream.

This is where the 3 Ingredient chocolate goo comes into play, it's dairy free and egg free.  I shit you not.  It's easy peasy and incredibly quick to make too.
