Tina
just cook up a load of veg and pots and small bits of chicken and blend it all up with a little gravey she will love it
use the food you try to cook for your self but do not use salt or too much spices . mince it up for the baby
Just use veg and meats with gravy and blend it. Try something like shepards pie. A dessert try strawberry yougart with mushed up bananas in in my son loved it.
I started with basic baby rice and only started with a little at a time. Your baby will guide you. I make batches of stuff and freeze in ice cube trays then pop them into a freezer bag with the date and contents. Pureed veg to start then gradually you can add meat, fish etc. Fruit purees are lovely added to baby rice too for breakfast. Check out www. annabelkarmel.com, there is loads of advice and recipes and its free to register.
Take the food you have cooked for yourself and put a small serving in the blender until pureed.You now have baby food.This is the way my mother fed us.
Note: Some foods don't need blending.Mashed potatoes and bananas can be easily rendered into baby food with a fork.
cut the baby up into small chunks and fry for 2-3 mins.
add some chopped onions and been sprouts, then add some thi green curry sauce and simmer for 5mins..
serve with boiled rice and a chilled can of stella....
Beans - Green
1. If using Fresh Beans, snap the ends off the beans and wash the beans. If using Fresh Peas, open the pods and scrape out the peas from the pod. If using frozen of either Peas or Green Beans, cook according to package directions.
2. Place fresh beans into a steamer basket in a pan with a just enough water to slightly show through in the basket.
3. Steam until very tender; be sure to check on the water level.
4. Reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the beans.
5. Place into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing. It is best to use the setting that makes the finest liquid purees - green bean and pea skins are rather difficult to completely puree.
***Using a blender rather than a food processor or stick mixer might be better as well. ***
6. Add the reserved water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency
7. You may wish to push the green beans (or peas) through a sieve or mesh strainer to get rid of any remaining skins. 1. If using Fresh Beans, snap the ends off the beans and wash the beans. If using Fresh Peas, open the pods and scrape out the peas from the pod. If using frozen of either Peas or Green Beans, cook according to package directions.
Carrots
1. Peel carrots and cut into small chunks
2. Place chunks into a steamer pan with just enough water visible through the steamer basket
3. Steam until tender
4. Do not reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the carrots if baby is under 8 months old as Nitrates may seep into the cooking water
5. Place into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing.
6. Add water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency
Potato
1. Peel potatoes and cut into small chunks
2. OR bake in the oven
3. Place chunks into a pan with just enough water to slightly cover potato
4. Boil until tender, be sure to check on the water level.
5. Reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the potatoes
6. Place into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing.
7. Keep a close watch on the potatoes while you are pureeing as they may turn into “wallpaper paste” if pureed too much
8. Add the reserved water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency.
You may also use breast milk or formula to make the puree if you wish.
