Ingredients:
Egg
Preparation:
Place the egg
in a pot of boiling water and cook for 11 to 12 minutes. When it is cooked,
take out the egg, peel it, and chop it up into small pieces. Let it cool before
feeding it to your baby. If you want to make things more interesting, you can
add a spoonful of plain yogurt.
When feeding
your baby egg, you don’t have to stick to just hard boiled. You can try
scrambled eggs too and maybe grab the chance to introduce a few light-flavored
herbs like chopped chives or dill. At this age, you can also start introducing
spices in very small amounts. For scrambled eggs, a tough of nutmeg or white
pepper wouldn’t hurt.
But remember;
when feeding your baby egg, always make sure that it is cooked through and
through especially when he or she is less than a year old. Don’t try to cook in
ways that leave the yolk undercooked like sunny side up, over easy, or poached.
There is still an element of risk and your baby is more susceptible to bacteria
than most adults are.
Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients:
Macaroni
Pasta
Cooking cream
Butter
Cheese of
your choice
Salt and
Pepper
Preparation:
Macaroni and
cheese is a staple in most homes because it is delicious and it is very easy to
prepare. What you basically do is cook the pasta until al dente. To prepare the
sauce, you melt the butter and add the cooking cream. Let it heat up a little
before adding the grated cheese and seasoning the salt and pepper. When the
pasta is done cooking, you mix it into the sauce and you’re done! To make
things more interesting, add a touch of cayenne and some herbs like parsley or
basil.
When you’re
cooking macaroni and cheese for your family, you can also prepare some for your
baby. Just set aside a bit of the pasta and let it cook for longer until it is
soft enough to eat with just gums. This way, your baby begins to eat what you
and the rest of the family eat.
