"Mummy, you can do it" my son said to me, I've never been so good with technology. I make a lot of spelling mistakes not to talk of grammatical errors, yet he insisted I could do something with the blog.
I haven't done much because I was still doubting myself, but tonight celebrating a 'believer in mummy' is setting the pace for great things ahead. Thank you 'my Baba'
While my eldest son was being weaned, we needed to think of something healthy and digestible for him. So we came up with the idea of adding mashed potatoes and fish (porridge) to his meal. That is adding deboned fish to potato porridge.
The first one we made was not too much of a success because we noticed that he did not digest the potatoes. He, however, loved the food. So we decided to cook the porridge until very soft before adding the fish and cooking together. After this, we mashed everything together, not with a masher but a spoon, so it would look somehow like soup.
My baby loved this dish, and I can assure you that he was a very healthy baby. I'll share the recipe with you some other time. However, if you are in a hurry to try it out, take out all bones or use a boneless fish. Abiento
Noodles and Veggies
"Never say never" when it comes to creating or being imaginative about foods. Cut your carrots into little bits, cut your cabbage, chop your onions, then for variety's sake you could pound your pepper. Set your pan on the fire with a tablespoonful of oil, add your onions and stir for a bit.
Your pepper comes in next. Now, make sure that the pepper is just enough for a child's taste buds. Add your carrots then your cabbage. Give your fries some taste with some seasonings.
The last thing you do is boil your noodles with some seasoning and drain. You could either mix the fries and the noodles together or set the fries at the side of your plate of noodles. Garnish with some sliced tomatoes. Voilà!
