Baby Food From Scratch
Yes, this dad cooks baby food from scratch for his kids. Sharing with you my very own recipe that is always a hit with our little ones. The Little Hulk and Little Miss Banshee could eat two full bowls in one sitting when they had it back in the day. And now I'm looking forward to making it for our new born when he's old enough to be introduced to solid food.
Ingredients:
10 pcs large sized sweet potatoes (orange/purple)
6 quail eggs (for babies 1 year and older)
4 tbsp unsalted Butter (for babies 1 year and older)
Salt
Turmeric powder
Black Pepper
Water
Note: You can substitute homemade Chicken Stock instead of Butter and Water for babies 1 year and older
Instructions:
Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes
Put them in a pot
Add 3-5 pinches of salt, turmeric powder and black pepper
Add water - just enough to cover the sweet potatoes half way
Turn on the stove
Bring it up to a boil then put on low and simmer until soft
Set aside
Take the quail eggs out of the shell and place them in a bowl
Heat up 1/2 cup of water in a small pot
Add the quail eggs and turn off the heat, mix
Pour into the pot of sweet potatoes
Use a hand blender to turn it into mash directly in the pot
Add the butter and more water/stock until you get the right consistency
This
sweet potato puree is a sure winner when it comes to our kids, even
adults like me enjoy it as a side dish. By the way, sweet potato is rich
in Vitamin C & E, a great source of Manganese & Beta-Carotene
and has a high fiber content. The addition of quail eggs provides a lot
of protein for babies a year older and above. Try it and see if your
baby likes it as much as ours does.
Baby food such as this, made from scratch is way better than the store bought variety. It's healthier and cheaper. You will, without a doubt, stretch your peso on this one!
