B’s Fish Meal!!

26 Mar

Hi all! Many have wrote to me that they have tried the chicken recipe and they (and their baby of course!) Love it!! Nom! Nom! Nom! Now I would like to share another recipe from Annabel Karmel’s Baby & Toddler Recipes. This time it’s fish meal… Salmon & Broccoli Puree!!

Easy one.. well, actually all her recipes are very easy.. you’ll need salmon, butternut squash and broccoli.. I don’t know what is butternut squash in Malay but it’s actually a kind of pumpkin.. mat salleh version of labu. But you can replace the butternut squash with our normal pumpkin coz it will produce the same sweet taste.. And I strongly suggest not too much of broccoli coz it will give a strong smell your baby might not like.. I’ve tried on B, she likes this with a little less broccoli (but at least there’s some broccoli in it, right?)

First, you heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the butternut squash (or pumpkin), broccoli and salmon. Pour milk.. I used the usual full cream Dutch Lady milk in boxes.. about 150ml. Not too much..

Boil, cover and simmer. That will take about 10-15minutes until the vegetables are soft and salmon is cooked. How do you know your salmon is cooked? It is when it becomes flaky when you try to break it. Then.. finish! Walllaaaaa….

It has the goodness of omega 3 and 6 from the fish.. beta-carotine from the broccoli, vitamin A and E from the pumpkin and calcium from milk. I personally have never tried using my own milk.. so, please don’t ask me that question! Haha..

Transfer all the stuff into your food processor or blender or whatever you call it.. Add in some grated parmesan cheese.. I guess cheddar cheese pun buleh jugak kot.. asalkan cheese! And some lemon juice if you think your baby couldnt take the taste of the salmon.. and blend!

Tadaaaaa.. siap! If you’re wondering how does it taste.. It taste like seafood carbonara spaghetti without the spaghetti ;)

B’s First Protein Meal..

9 Mar

I know.. I know I’m a little late :D Hhaha.. B is already 7 and a half month and I haven’t introduce protein meal to her.. that means she hasn’t been eating chicken or fish or meat yet.. I just don’t have the time to cook for her.. yang sempat buat only her favourite carrot puree or sweet potato + spinach or sweet potato + broccoli + fresh fruits puree jer.. Those are no brainers cooking.. Hahaha.. I don’t thing it should be called cooking at all :D

I was oncall yesterday, and today is my free day.. Yay!! And that means I have extra time to cook for B (and update blog too!!) Hehehe.. So, I have decided to make B’s first protein meal and update my blog at the same time! Taddaaaaaa…..

This is chicken with sweet potato and apricot!! Sgt yummy!! Rupa agak tak seberapa.. and this is before blending.. I got this recipe from Annabel Karmel’s Cookbook for Baby and Toddler. Well, I just downloaded the iphone apps sebenarnyer, so it wasn’t really a cookbook :D … Yup, totally modern mommy! ;) I’m sure many of you do the same too right, google recipes.. download apps into the phone.. it makes our life a lot easier :D

This meal is packed with carbs from the sweet potatoes, and protein from the chicken and vitamins from the apricot and the tomatoes.. healthy kan!! It’s very easy to do this.. Mula2 tumiskan onion and garlic together with olive oil.. then add chicken in cubes till it looks sealed.. then add sweet potato. Teruskan menumis.. and add chopped dried apricots, masukkan tomato puree and water.. chicken stock kalu ada.. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until tender.. that is about 15 minutes.. Siap!!

For Bella, I use all organic ingredients. Even the tomato puree I made it on my own.. I just wanna avoid all the additive and salt while I can ;)

Owh.. and don’t forget to blend to puree!!

Then it will look like this.. Yummy!! Trust me!! And this is B rocking her new feeding chair.. Yes, she’s finally having dinner with us!!

Mommy Likes: Beaba Multi-portions Storage

19 Jan

Yes, this is my current favourite baby product!! It is Beaba’s multiportions storage for Bella’s semi-solid food!! I love the colour options.. It makes my freezer looks lively!! Heheheh.. Knowing me and my husband, both of us have this obsession about lime green colour ;) It is just our favourite hue at the moment, and of course we bought the lime green one *wink*

Why I like this storage container besides the beautiful design and colour..? It is made of silicone, Bisphenol-A free ( and that is BPA-free..) and very practical if you cook baby’s food in batches.. It comes with 7 small portion compartments, 2-ounce each.. Just nice for baby’s food portion.

This is Bella’s food, it’s actually frozen puree of sweet potato and broccoli. The colour is very uninviting but somehow Bella loves this one very much!! Because it is made of silicone, it is easy to push out the content.. You can just squeeze from below until the frozen food pop out from it..

Senang kan!! So you don’t have to thaw the whole portions.. Haaaaa… I loike!!
