And add some Knor Zuisa and Knor Tomate ( you can buy this in the hispanic or latin isle at you grocery store ). And let it boil until evereything is nice and soft. Don't add any salt because the knor zuisa is salty. - anonymous ...although producers claim it is natural, with no preservatives, no additives but logically how it can last for years? Of course there are preservatives. My 6 months darling son will eat whatever I cook...he even ask for more..his food I blend with love.....fresh, natural & organic..Below are his menu Monday & Saturday Tuesday +Sunday Wednesday Thursday Friday - agnes kanyan,
Malaysia My daughter is a one year old. I cook a chicken drumstick in one and a half cups of water with spinach and brocolli. When there is half a cup of water left in the pan I add a pinch of salt and quaker oats and cook to make a thick gravy. Once it becomes thick I blend it into a soup. My daughter likes it a lot! - urfa naseem Cook 2-minute noodles. Throw out the water, add spoon full of butter/margarine and one egg, stir until egg is cooked. My child (10 months) loves this! - olive After 6 months this is the first meal of my child. Always use one vegetable and one leaf. You can alternate every week a diferent veggie and a different leaf; in this recipe I used one carrot, 2 lettuce leaves and a small peace of onion, a little bit of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of corn or sunflower oil, purified water.
Wash the carrot and lettuce very well.
Put water to boil, then add all ingredients, cook until the carrot if soft, use a blender or strainer to make the vegetables mix into a paste, be careful not to leave any chunk.
My son now is 12, he never gave me any problem to eat vegetables and I have another one he will be 6 months next month and this will be the begining too. - vigomes I will prepare halwas from various vegetables. For example you can
use carrot, beet root, pumpkin, radish etc., first peal the outer skin
and mince the carrots. Take a kadai, add some ghee and put all the
minced carrots cook for some time and add little bit of milk and add
sugar. Cook for some time. Put elachi , cashew nuts, dry grapes if
required. Likewise you can use any kind of vegetables for making halwas which
your kid doesn't like. - Anonymous I mix avocado with baby rice and pear that's my 7 and a half month
old baby's favorite From: Tulay Akbulut My little seven month old loves her roast vegetables. So one
thing I do is I whack a whole pile of vegetables in a roast pan and
marinate them with a little bit of olive oil. I include carrots,
broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, sweet potato (peeled), butternut
squash/pumpkin peeled, zucchini and parsnip. I cook all of these in the
roast pan with the lid on until they are cooked through and soft. Then I
pick and choose which ones to puree together. Broccoli, zucchini and
parsnip or carrot, potato, and cauliflower, or sweet potato, zucchini,
and parsnip. The great thing is, by cooking these vegetables like this,
they caramelize the natural sugars in the vegetables making them sweeter
and my little one loves them! If you're really lazy, they puree
beautifully all together. Her other favourite recipe is done in a pot: Fry half an onion with a bit of olive oil Add one large carrot diced
and two potatoes peeled and diced. Then you add about a cup of frozen sweet corn and a cup of frozen
baby peas. Add water- just enough to cover the vegetables and no more. Boil
until the vegetables are nice and soft. Puree in a blender until desired consistency is achieved. Another tip- I use baby food jars to store all my cooked baby food
in. They are cheaper than anything you buy at the shops and they can be
microwaved without the danger of those plastics getting into their food. Love the site too! I'm looking forward to trying the creamy tomato
recipe. From: Janice McLean cut in cubes: 1/4 carrots Wash 1 tbsp of brown rice and add the above to the same pan. Add 1 or 1 1/2 glass water, a little unsalted butter and cook until
everything tender. I keep the lid on till it cooks. She loves this meal and its so nutritious.. But she doesn't like fruits..:( Can anyone suggest yummy yummy
fruit recipes... Btw I love this site and Andres is so cute. you've done a great job
:) From: aaliea I blend half a mango, half a pear, few red grapes and some
strawberries he loved it! you can freeze it and also add some natural
yogurt for a delicious dessert! From: keeleylee Firstly I fry a chicken breast in olive oil, I then put water in
until it is thoroughly cooked I then add 4 sticks of fresh baby sweet
corn, half an average onion, quarter of red pepper, 5 mushrooms and fry
until ready do not add extra oil just water if needed, once cooked I
place in bowl with 1 adult portion of boiled rice, desert spoon of
unsalted butter, I then mash and then blend. This should do about 4-6
portions depending on how old your baby is, put into pots and freeze! My
baby Ty loves it! Just a tip when serving add some milk to make it more
creamy, I've tasted it and it's yummy! I also make it with tuna as well!
great source of protein and vitamins. From: keeleylee My baby's favourite first weaning foods are very simple, fuss free and
includes the following: Mashed avocado with baby's usual milk plus baby cereal (this is
her personal favorite and avocado is the most nutritious fruit you can
feed babies with!) Hard boiled Egg yolk mashed with baby's usual milk plus steamed
pureed carrots or any steamed pureed vegetables (again, eggs are
wonderful all round food for nutritious and natural food made fresh for
your baby). Make sure the egg is thoroughly cooked and the yolk is hard
as uncooked eggs are dangerous and babies can get food poisoning from
them. Also, avoid giving babies less than 9 months egg whites as they
are more likely to be allergic to them at that age. From: C Kirk (Siddharth's favorite meal at 1 year) Wash peel and slice your baby's favorite vegetables like Carrots,
Cauliflower, Peas, Beans, Okra into small pieces and cook them until
tender. Separately fry 1 clove, cinnamon, bay leaf in 2 tsp ghee with finely
chopped onions until golden. Cook Brown Basmati Rice or your child's favorite rice. Mix all the ingredients together. Sprinkle very little Nutritional
Yeast or wheat germ to give a little extra boost. Serve with yogurt (mixed with tomato) or plain. Yummy for babies, toddlers and adults as well! From: esiyer My 11 months old Asad loves to have rice and lentils. Rice is a good
source of carbohydrates and lentils are full of proteins. Soak the rice
pink and yellow lentil together for a while then put enough water (as I
don't have a pressure cooker) when these come to a boil add half a
tomato small onion chopped some corns of black pepper and table spoon
full of butter. When the water dries take the pepper corns out and mash
the rest of them. My son is eczemic so i would love to have recipes that help control
eczema if somebody would be generous enough to share their recipes with
me I would be very grateful. Thanks Nusrat From: Nusrat Ferozali .. that can be used with either mash, rice or pasta. Two examples: Tin chopped tomatoes, one cougette (chopped up tiny), tomato puree,
garlic, onions, basil and a pinch of sugar (just cuts through the
tomatoes but negligible amount re:teeth etc. All amounts to taste,
really and I sometimes add oregano and have even tried adding chilli
flakes for extra interest. When making a chunky, nutritious soup e.g. fish chowder, puree a
portion to use as a sauce for the baby I make up cubes of sauces in the freezer and use them to mix with
whatever's going for the rest of the family at tea time. Often, I add a
little cooked chicken or ham and perhaps a few peas or some corn. Very
adaptable and my baby loves it! From: Karen Seddon My little boy loves beef stew. Cook Onions and Beef. Then for the gravy: Water, Tomato Puree, Garlic Puree, Worcester
Sauce. Then add Parsnips, loads of carrots, mushrooms, sometimes some sweed. I thought this could upset his tummy a little at first but it didn't,
it kept him nice and regular!! He also loves water with a squeeze of orange, this way he has no
other rubbish in the food but gets the fluids inside him. From: Ashley, Patsy and Mr T (Baby Thomas) 9 1/2 months 1/2 cup Brown Rice 1/4 cup Carrot 1/4 cup Minced Chicken meat 1/4 cup Soya Cake +/- 1 liter water Boil until smooth. Add water if not smooth enough. Blend it in food processor or blender. Serve or freeze. From: desty (I started making this stew after I had tried the vegetables
individually and wanted to start adding meats, so I already knew there
wasn't any problems with allergies) 1/2 pound Turkey breast (skinless, boneless, fat removed) Cut into
tiny cubes. Put in large pot and cover with water. Cook on medium heat. Add to pot: 1 large sweet potato (or yam), peeled and coarsely chopped 3 large carrots peeled and coarsely chopped 1 medium squash (deseeded and peeled) Cook until all the vegetables are soft enough to squish easily with a
fork. Cool slightly, and then using a hand-blender puree stew in small
batches so that there are no lumps. I found the turkey pureed easily. Additionally, 1 cup frozen green peas could be added when the turkey
is first put in the pot, as they are harder to puree. But make sure that
your baby is old enough before using them. From: janiceb Peel 2 tomatoes by placing in boiling water for a few minutes to
loosen skin. Then chop. Chop up a few spinach leaves and half an onion. Melt some unsalted butter in a saucepan, add some sliced chicken
breast and cook through. Add in all the veg and cook for about 2 or 3 mins. Add 1 heaped tablespoon of plain flour and stir well. Add in about 1 cup of whole milk and stir thoroughly, if the sauce
is a bit thick just add some more milk. In a separate pot, cook some whole-wheat pasta, do not add salt!!!!
Cook until really soft and then add to the chicken and sauce. Puree to the desired consistency. This makes about 5 portions and can
be frozen. If you make double the amount there is some left over for
mummy and daddy's dinner too! From: fionagavin Wash and chop your potatoes into cubes. Boil the chopped potatoes. Add powered herrings, fresh tomatoes, green beans/peas and carrots. Add two teaspoons of butter and allow it to soften and blend to
paste. My baby loves this. Nana Yaa is 10 months old. From: williesbrako Try This, my little boy loves it. You need half a potato, some
spaghetti and one sausage. Boil potato till ready to mash and add a
little bit of milk and butter to make it smooth. Then cut up your
sausages into the most tiniest pieces and add spaghetti and sausage to
the mash and mix together. My son is 7 months old, has only just started lumpy foods and he
loves it. From: sxc_biatch_100 You just have to boil or steam the chopped pumpkin and apple and when
they are soft, blend or mash them together. Hmmm.....yummy. You should
try it! From: Shanthi 1) Baby Rice with pear and banana 2) Rice with corn, carrot, pumpkin and chicken 3) Rice with potato, carrot, apples and chicken 4) Rice with potato, carrot, peas and chicken Boil no. 2, 3 and 4 in pressure cooker till soft. From: Anonymous I like to fry a piece of chicken (or any meat for that matter) in a
tablespoonful of butter, add 2 tablespoons of rice, a small potato, a
small carrot and boil it all in water. Everything is cooked together, I
put in approximately 4 mugs of water as I don't have a pressure cooker
and I have to make sure the food is thoroughly cooked. Since my baby's 10 months old now
I don't have to puree it anymore, just mash it with the back of the
feeding spoon. She just loves it like anything. I enjoy making baby's
food myself and thoroughly loved your site. Its fantastic! From: Suniha Khan Peachy Rice with Goat cheese Cooked and pureed peaches Brown rice slightly pureed Mix together cooled peaches and brown rice with goat cheese on the
side (at room temperature). From: Kathy & baby Jack (10 months) So what I do is, I try and put more sweet vegetable in a puree. For example. Zucchini ( not so sweet ) I think the corn usually does the trick! As for the fruit, she loves pureed apples, bananas and squeezed
oranges. She also loves pureed pears and cream cheese ( e.g.: The
Laughing cow ) From: Sharon and baby Mattea (8 months), Malta I first sauté some Onion in Olive oil and then add the chicken (or
you can cook chicken separate if preferred) then add some water and add
the chopped butternut squash. Steam everything together and then puree with a hand blender. Great website by the way - wish I had seen this before I started
weaning - would have been a great help! From: Lina Farr & Talia (10 months) and parsnips together and this was really nice. Also butternut squash and peaches - just to give it a nice, sweeter
taste (not too many peaches - one and a half for a butternut). From: ydeliabober |
