Does anyone have any good baby food recipes?

I already have the Annabel Karmel book and I do use wholesomebabyfood.com too. I like to have a good selection in the freezer so if anyone has any good ones, let me know!



P.S. Is Mummy Berry around with her cheesy leek and potato bake thingy? And the mediterranean veg one too?Does anyone have any good baby food recipes?
How adventurous are your little ones?



OK



The easiest way to do the cheesy leek thing is sautee some leeks %26amp; potatoes (cut into fine dice) then add some milk and cook off until tender, grate some cheese into it and either mash or blend depending on the texture your little one likes.



Roasted med veg?



Cut up some peppers, courgette, aubergine, celery %26amp; red onion roast with a little olive oil and some herbs, and puree up (or pulse for chunky) with a little tinned tomato until you're happy with the texture.



You could also try a 3 bean %26amp; veg chilli

sautee off some onion, peppers, celery, courgette, add some mild chilli powder and whatever beans you like (tinned but no salt ones)

Again mix with a little tomato to blend.



A curry would be similar, a bit of mild curry powder with whatever veg you like %26amp; some dried apricots, a little baby veg or chicken stock (or even milk) to blend.



Happy eating . . . :-)
best is pumpkin and potato mash, you can even throw in some broccoliDoes anyone have any good baby food recipes?
my little one loves pumpkin too... steamed and mashed. aside from this, he can finish 6 inches blended rock melon a day. sometime its not about the recipe, its about the timing and just the variety... try giving blended fruits...it does work for me. best of luck!

i just use my common sense and own cooking experience and make meals from things i use for the rest of the family.



I don't think there is much point in going to all this trouble to make special meals for babies/toddlers when you can just make extra of most of the things you are having (with exceptions for spicy foods, salty foods etc..) and then puree, mash etc... and freeze for the baby



Tonight we had steak, mash potato, vegies and gravy. I made extra mash, gravy and vegies for putting in Aidans meals and got a chicken breast instead of steak and cooked it all at the same time. Then when dinner was over i just mixed up the extra stuff with the chicken into meals for Aidan and froze it in containers. Simple, easy and he eats what we eat without all the fuss of making meals specially for him.

I had enough there for 4 meals for him. Tomorrow we are having tacos so he will get one of the meals i made up tonight.



Other things I make into meals for him from what we are eating is spaghetti bolognaise, all different casseroles, thick soups/stews, creamy chicken, mushroom and rice, sheppards pie/cottage pie...the list is endless



If i need to I might steam up extra vegies or a different meat to add to his but its no trouble if i just do it when i am making the rest of the families dinner



happy cooking!



(oh, Aidan is 9months today btw!)
My daughter loves mashed potato with mashed apple. Odd combination, but she adores it!



Also sweet potato and broccoli mashed together.

Blended broccoli cheese.

Butternut pumpkin and creamed corn.

Assorted vegetables with cheese sauce, always goes down well.



I also make chicken soup and put loads of veg in until it's thick and then blend it all together.
