Alyssa's not started weaning yet, but I'm getting in my practice now as I'm expecting to start around 17 weeks (this isn't a pros/cons of weaning early/late thread, just a nice recipe thread so let's try keep the focus on that ). So tonight I made my very first baby friendly recipe and I'm excited!!
I'm using the slow cooker as much as possible for my recipes, and all my foods will be for freezing (hence why I'm starting a month in advance, all meals can be frozen for a month). Although Santa might be nice and bring me a steamer which I can use then So here is my first home made baby food!
My first every baby-friendly recipe tried and tested! Food for baby, soup for mum!
Sweet Potato and Parsnip Puree:
1 large sweet potato, washed peeled and cut into bits
1 medium parsnip, washed peeled and cut into bits
250ml baby vegetable stock
Slow cook for 2 1/2 hours on high
Blend in blender and dish into little freezer pots for storage.
Leave remaining puree in blender.
Mummy's ingredients:
Add 100-150mls milk (or single cream if you want it thicker)
Add 1/2 a teaspoon of mild chilli powder
Use flat blades in blender for nice smooth soup.
Serve with coriander.
Yum!!
Add your slow cooker/steam recipes here and we can have a wee collection for those who are pureeing instead of/ alongside baby led weaning
