Jare's food journey

It's always exciting when you start introducing semi-solids to a baby, at least to me. It's almost a month since Jare began on it, and I'm ever searching for recipes to create yummies for his little tummy. Here are some food tried and tasted by him:

• Cereal
• Butternut squash
• Carrot
• Potato
• Sweet potato
• Parsnip
• Pumpkin
• Peas
• Sweetcorn
• Broccoli
• Bean curd
• Apple
• Avocado
• Banana
• Pear

And from here, I do my 'equations' for blending:

Carrot + potato
Pumpkin + Bean curd
Butternut + peas/Spinach
Sweet potato + Carrot
Butternut + Parsnip + Spinach
Apple + Pear
Cereal + Banana
Potato + Sweet Corn + Peas
Potato + Broccoli
Avocado + cereal + milk
Avocado + Banana + milk

As days go by, I do run out of ideas, and the menu repeats. I don't prepare any food for freezing, unless I've much excess. I prefer freshly made meals though. On my work days, I'll tell my mum how and what to cook for Jare. Weekends are when I can explore a little more 'exotic' recipes for him.

Organic food are expensive stuff. Cereal is the only few organic food I could afford for him: 

 

Colourful food journey:

Carrot puree

Spinach puree

Banana puree

I got this blender on loan from my colleague, it really is convenient to whip up his meals with it. Just steam, flip and blend. Saves time! 

 

The Verdict? A satisfied customer.
