Here I am again, hi there.
Today was my cooking day for my baby and my family (check out my blog for big for some more family recipes).
Well since I am writing about little ones here then I will start with baby food.
I was actually making tomato and other veggies sauce today but in the end decided that I wanna give something different to my daughter today.
So I took:
a little potato, chopped it quite finely
added about 4 cm finely chopped carrot
a small garlic clove, chopped
1/4 medium onion, chopped or finely sliced
I put everything in a small pot and covered with whole milk (full cream milk). Since my baby is 14 months now I added a pinch of salt and a crack of pepper, however, if your baby is younger than 1 year, it is up to you whether to add salt or not. I brought the mixture to boil, lowered the heat and simmered till potatoes and carrots are fully cooked and can be mashed easily.
I had some boiled turkey breast (can be easily substituted for chicken breast). I cut in into bite size tiny cubes, slightly mashed potatoes and mixed all together. I wanted to leave some lumps for my daughter to chew. (You know how lazy they can be sometimes). If your baby is small, it is better to use blender for smoother texture and easier bites.
My daughter loved it and ate it all (well except the very last bite - I guess I cooked a bit too much).
She had some fresh fruit bits and pieces for dessert.
Try it out and let me know your thoughts.
That's it for now,
take care there.
