philadelphia & pasta

[megcleary]

Does ccoking some pasta and stirring some philadelphia cheese through it sound a reasonable supper for dd 10 mo and does the cheese need to warm or anything?

THat would have protein, some calcium, some vitimin D..... sounds good to me.

Can i have some.

sounds fine. dd used to like it with a blob of pesto and some frozen peas as well. all storecupboard stuff so a handy 'recipe'.

sounds fine

stir cheese into pasta while hot though, then cool to baby temp

Thank you lovely peeps, greenelizabeth my cooking is dire i would not inflict it on you but dd only tasting yet and unaware of the reality of her mums cooking tee hee

Sounds great! Cheese will warm and melt whilst it's being stirred into the hot pasta. Could also use mascarpone cheese instead of Philly, that's good too.

yep, mascarpone's a bit less salty than philly. v cheap in lidl.

We make an all family version using Boursin and throwing in some smoked salmon if we're feeling flush!

Right, as mentioned am dire at cooking is pesto made from pine nuts? If so as dd is 10 mo should she avoid nuts?

pine nuts aren't nuts, tbh, they're seeds. however, a lot of pesto sauces contain cashews so it's a fair question. afaia, the guidance is to avoid peanuts, not all nuts, so i gave it to dd from 6 mos.

LL not too concerned just ignorant DH adores pesto so am seeing oodles of easy dinners on the horizon, again many thanks for the information and advice as always.

hoooooooh, yes. we worship pesto for an easy tea.

tee hee she she shovelled handfuls of it into her mouth and most of it fell out but she seemed very happy with it all and then fed herself a whole pear!! am very chuffed for her

this is ds's favourite meal, especially with a bit of brocolli mixed in

some angel on here recommended the My Child Won't Eat book and reading it has chilled me out about weaning so much

oh it's a very good and consoling book, isn't it? did you see that tv programme about kids who don't eat last week? i thought the advice ('back OFF!' ) was v similar.

didn't watch it A was mid dd on strike and freaked then book arrived read it and chilled sad but true needed someone else to say back off have no instinct for this mothering lark
