can i give a 7mth old things like fishfingers chicken nuggets and stuff like that help

[babyjjbaby]

either blended or cut into small chunks i give him sausages and he likes them but need more stuff as we can't afford to eat meat all the time i give him chipsif we have them as long as they ain't too crispy and he loves them i'm not talking about giving him it all the time but once or twice a week probably

mine love sardines in tomato on toast.

Cauliflower cheese and macaroni cheese are nice and you can freeze them. Do you know how to make a cheese sauce?

If you make a large quantity of the sauce, you can freeze it. I freeze it in ice cube trays & push out as it is easier to choose how much I need rather than thawing out a huge batch.

It thaws really quick in the microwave, then you can add chunky vegs & more salt for you, if you prefer, after you have taken baby's serve out.

Pasta sauce for babies - chopped onion, carrot, pepper, courgette, maybe a bit of garlic, cooked in a bit of oil, then put through the blender with a tin of tomatoes. Freeze it in small portions and use when you need it.

thanks for the cheese sauce i'm gonna print it off i justgot him up and dressed i useally give him a 8 oz bottle about now but i'm not going to today i'm gonna give him 5oz and then he might eat some lunch with me at about half one

could someone give me measurements for making a cheese sauce please so i can print it out and how u do it like how much milk and flour and stuff

i have just put the chicken in the oven and pasta on but i want to use the dolmio sauce out of th ejar but notthe whole jar if i pour half the into a frezzer bag can i freeze it then defrost and use it for another lunch

I do see any reason why you can't freeze it.

don't

i might aswell then it will only get chucked away otherwise cos i won't be using it tomorrow and i only like to keep stuff which is in the fridge for 24hours

ooo why can't it be froze

i havent read whole thread.i read that you have about £90 a week for food.we do 2 adults,3 children and a rabbit(2 of us are veggie,1 cows milk intolerant).im rubbish cook but find cooking from fresh lots cheaper.you can make your own nuggets etc,much healthier.find yourself a good cookbook,make a list of everything you need-youll be shocked at how much cheaper it is .the foods you mentionned are far to salty for baby and i think you should be getting him into good habits now.this isnt to say we dont eat crap sometimes!!!

what i ment was we do all of us for about £90.also we spend less if we use tescos delivery thing-not tempted by instore offers and pretty packaging

sorry, I meant I don't see why it can't be frozen...

Crap typing!

themildmanneredjanitor i am using it because i haven't got anything else today i will use passata next time i can't go shopping till tuesday

sandcastles thats giood then i'll freeze it

You can freeze the Dolmio you don't use or you could cook extra pasta, make it all up and then freeze pasta and sauce portions for days when you are busy, or need little pots of food to take out with you. DH is a big Dolmio fan so I use half a jar and then add a tin of tomatoes, extra onion and veg etc. (Actually I am now down to a quarter of a jar but he doesn't know!)

i am 16 i don't want to go anywhere tho if u now what i mean

the OP is 16.

just scanning the thread since i posted, you guys are good!

we need to produce a mumsnet cookery book!

god I wish I had £90 a week for food
