[Hypnorm]

I've put a tin of tuna, and chopped tomatoes (tin of) and its made like a sauce. but i'm not a brilliant cook - i run out of ideas what to fee ewan, and then when i do feed him he doesn't want it.

I buy "Peter Rabbit" pasta sauce from tesco (in the baby food aisle)

I also want to cook some pasta twirls and melt a bit of grated cheese on them under the grill for finger food

Sarah...
Pesto, cream cheese & sweetcorn is very nice too.
You can also buy the fresh filled pasta at your supermarket.

[Sarah&Braydon]

[monaloco]

i boil some pasta and steam some vegetables put them together and mash them and add some cream cheese!

 

[emilia]

wots pesto ?

Basil, pinenuts, olive oil, garlic & parmesan cheese.... blended to a paste. Ask in your Tesco's or any other supermarket.

When you've boiled the pasta, you just add a good dollop of pesto - lurvely!!

Gosh Emilia, I feel so ashamed of myself, I am afraid of Thomas chocking so i never gave him ig food like this. even finger food i never gave him I tried to put some lumps in his food but won't have it, just wants smooth ones. I need to stop being so overprotective towards Thomas or poor him he will never do things

Emilia have just been to teso and bought some filled pasta bonus 2 for £2.50

seems quite a high salt content for 1/2 pack but don't think he'll eat that much, can never remmeber the daily allowance

 

[emilia]

I think babies are best having no salt, but definitely no more than 1mg... if I can remember correctly!

Another fabby food is Gnocchi.... you'll find it beside the pastas. In chilled section and on the shelf. It is made from potato.

I am wary of salt, but I do make most of Oscars' food myself, so occassionally when he eats something shop bought, I don't worry too much.

Futuremum... don't worry! You can start with giving him finger foods like ripe pears, bananas, papaya & mango. Check out the Blackboard specials for recipe ideas.

Just wondered. Am glad that you didn't, was seriously starting to wonder where you get the time to make your own pasta and look after 3 kids and your mother!

 

[emilia]

Exactly... I had to choose.... Forum or Fresh Pasta!!

[Jo]

Phew i am so releived you didn't make it, talk about feeling inadequate for a bit there!!!!

How many food and cooking threads have you got now!

I never give Damien things like Pesto, etc. We don't cook things like that in our house so Damien doesn't have it. Costs and arm and a leg to eat fresh all the time Feel like a bad bad bad mother now compared to you lot
