afternoon of steaming, puree-ing and freezing ahead.

[misdee]

right ihave got,
carrots
sweet potatoes
apples
pears
avacado.

what will work well together?

can babies have melon? i have watermelon and honeydew melon as well.

Hi Misdee - I'm in for the same sort of afternoon as you!

Not sure about the melon.

Which child is this for? How old? Can you use spices and herbs too?

Carrots and sweet potatoes are lovely together
I also mix apples and pears.
I should think that sweet potatoes and apples would taste nice together too.

she is 6months old. i have some cinnamon and nutmeg as well. lol

are you just starting to wean Misdee? my dd is 4 months and I hope to start at 6 months. Are we supposed to introduce meat straight away at 6 months now?

i started her on baby rice about 4weeks ago. she loves it. was hoping to get to 6monbths but she was grabbing food off everyone lol. i have been using some jars, but really want to make my own food rather than relyon on jars this time.

yeah, not sure dd will wait that long either.

Have you got any coconut milk? Carrots and sweet potato cooked in coconut milk with a teeny bit of curry powder is lovely once she's been eating for a few weeks.

I've never cooked avocado, I just gave it raw and mashed to my dd.

right, will keep the avacado then in the fridge, it feels very hard still, so will use it tomorrow maybe.

It you want to use it tomorrow, then I would leave it in the open (mine live in the fruit bowl) as they take a long time to ripen in the fridge.

ok. 1st time i have bought oen, can you tell lol!!

sucess, in the end only managed to do the cfarrots and sweet potato (need more ice cube trays) but dd3 has just wolfed down a big bowlful.

Congratulations!

Once the cubes are frozen, I take them out and put them in a labelled and dated freezer bag. That way, you don't need to have too many ice cube trays.

its in the fruit bowl.

i am doinf this tomorriw
ds2 had first rice tesrerdat at 24weeks.....vack to work wgeb he us 26 weeks si thought i had better get started,

parsmip and apple is nice

will try and find a lcoal farmshop and visit there to get seasonal stuff in. it kept my mind off eating myself. i should really dust off my AK book lol.

u gave ak at the readt

gyif.;kig

pops are you typing with baby on your knee?

Agree about not buying any more ice cube trays, take them out when frozen and put them into plastic bags.

Lots easier!

well i have 6 small pots with lids for hospital days out, and they have been filled, but only have one lot of square ice cube trays. the rest are all shaped ones and i use all 6 trays of ice a day . will get some freezer bags and 2 large trays.

I know Annabel Karmel seems to have a mixed response on here, but all of mine adored her lovely lentils recipe (6-9mths).

My oldest dd is nearly 7yrs now, but reading your post about spending an afternoon steaming and pureeing brought back a happy memory. Gosh, it seems like yesterday

no idea tipex.
