*Sugar Free Applesauce





4-5 medium apples, peeled and cored - use naturally sweet varieties, such as:


Gala


Golden or Red Delicious


Fuji


Pink Lady


Red Rome


pinch nutmeg or cinnamon


water





Chop the apples roughly and place in a saucepan.


Pour in about one inch of water - (you could use apple juice instead, but this will contain sugar).


Bring the apples to a boil, then reduce the heat.


Cover and simmer slowly until the apple chunks are tender (about 10-15 mins).


#TIP-DON'T cook the apples to the point where the mixture actually looks like applesauce! Cooking it this long will cause it to be watery and tasteless.Instead, remove the apple chunks from the pan and either puree them or mash them well. Thin with a little cooking water if necessary.Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg and serve warm or - as a soothing treat for teething babies - nice and cold. If you are going to freeze your baby's applesauce, DON'T add the spices before you freeze it, because they will lose their flavour.And avoid applesauce altogether is your baby is constipated or prone to constipation, because it is very binding and will make the problem worse.





*Delicious Baked Apples





Choose a nice sweet apple (those listed in the applesauce recipe above are ideal).Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, 180 deg C.Wash the apple and then remove the core (a melon baller is useful for this).Sprinkle a little nutmeg or cinnamon over the apple, then fill the apple with raisins. You may like to add a drop of maple syrup, as the raisins may be quite tart.Wrap the apple in aluminium foil and seal tightly.Bake the apple for around 45 mins, until it feels nice and tender.Remove from the oven and cool slightly, then remove the skin.Mash or puree thoroughly and serve!





*Real Fruit Jelly





110 ml water


1 tbsp agar flakes* or gelatine


220 ml fruit puree


330 ml fruit juice


(Agar is derived from seaweed and is used as a thickener. You can find it in most health food stores. It is expensive, but a little goes a long way.)





In a saucepan, combine the agar and water and stir until the flakes are dissolved.Pour in the juice and heat for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously.Pour into a suitable bowl and place into the refrigerator.As the mixture starts to set, stir in the puree. You can use any fruit - I prefer to mix several fruits together. Avoid pineapple though - it doesn't set well.Return to the refrigerator until ready to serve.





*Tropical Fruit Salad With Avocado





1/2 ripe avocado, cubed


1/2 small ripe banana, sliced


1/2 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced


1/4 papaya, peeled and sliced


2oz natural, plain yogurt


drop of pure maple syrup (optional)





For older babies, already enjoying finger foods, simply place all the prepared fruits into a bowl. For younger babies, puree the fruits together.Stir the maple syrup into the yogurt (if you're using it), then swirl the yogurt on top of the fruit.For a little nutritional boost, top with a sprinkle of wheat germ.





*Creamy Kiwi Pudding





1 ripe kiwi fruit


2oz prepared baby cereal or oatmeal


2oz cottage cheese





Peel the kiwi fruit, then puree or mash well with a fork.


Combine with the cereal and cottage cheese for a creamy treat.





*Frozen Banana Pops





1/2 ripe banana


1/2 ripe peach, peeled and with stone removed


4oz plain, natural yogurt/Soya Yogurt


a little pure maple syrup (optional)





Puree all the ingredients together in a food processor.


Pour the mixture into popsicle (lolly) moulds. If you don't have these, an alternative is to freeze the mixture in a large ice cube tray, or in small disposable cups. All you need to do is push in the popsicle/lolly sticks as the mixture begins to freeze.Serve when frozen. Older babies will be happy to hold the stick - for younger babies, simply squash the banana pops up in a bowl and feed them to baby from the spoon.


#TIP: These banana pops make an ideal, soothing treat if your baby is teething.





*Carrot And Lentil Soup





1/2 lb dry, rinsed lentils


1/2 lb carrots, peeled and diced


1 small onion, finely chopped


34 fl oz (1 litre) of water


1 tbsp olive oil





In a large saucepan, gently saute the onion in the oil, until soft.


Add the lentils, carrots and water.


Bring to the boil.Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours, until the lentils are soft.If necessary, you can puree the soup once it's cool, adding a little water to thin the mixture.





*Pureed Pumpkin and Parsnip





8oz fresh pumpkin


1 medium parsnip


little pinch nutmeg


1 tsp fresh chives, chopped





Peel the pumpkin and the parsnip and cut into small cubes.


Place in a steamer, or simmer in a little water, until the vegetable dice are tender.Drain, then mash with a fork (or puree in a blender if you want the meal to be completely smooth).Add the nutmeg and chives, stir well and serve!





*Warming Chicken Stew





8oz boneless, cooked chicken, chopped


2oz cooked vegetables (choose the vegetables your baby prefers)


2oz cooked rice (white or brown)


2fl oz homemade chicken stock


2fl oz breastmilk/formula


pinch of thyme





Simply blend all ingredients together, pureeing if necessary, for a wholesome, tasty stew.





*Chicken Dinner With Grapes





1 chicken breast, skinless and boneless


6 fl oz homemade chicken stock


around 10-15 white grapes, seedless and peeled


1 courgette (zucchini), sliced


1 small white potato, peeled and cut into slices





Chop the chicken breast, combine with the other ingredients and place in a small saucepan over a high heat.


Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. Cook for around 30 mins until the potato is tender and the chicken is cooked through.Puree in a blender, adding a little stock if necessary.





*One Pot Chicken Dinner





1 chopped boneless, skinless chicken breast


1 apple


1 medium sweet potato


16 fl oz homemade chicken stock

Peel, core and dice the apple. Peel and dice the sweet potato.Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.

ENJOY :-)Babys first table food recipes?
Here's some I used to make:





Basic Baby Dinner





1/2 cup cubed and cooked meat (lean beef, chicken, turkey, or egg yolks)


1/2 cup thoroughly cooked and cubed vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, acorn squash)


1/4 cup liquid





Put all the ingredients together in your blender or food processor and process until smooth. As your baby gets older, make the dinners increasingly more lumpy to help your baby learn to chew.








Summer in a Bowl





1 cup yellow squash, chopped


1 cup zucchini, chopped


1/2 cup apple, peeled and chopped


1/2 cup red bell pepper, seeded and chopped





Place all the ingredients in a steamer and steam for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are soft. Remove from the steamer and place in a blender or food processor and puree. The water content of the zucchini and squash will probably be enough to puree, but you may need to add a little of the cooking liquid for a smoother consistency. Keep refrigerated or frozen in cubes in a tightly covered container.





Chicken Dinner





1 cup water


1 chicken breast, skinned and deboned


1/4 cup rice


3 carrots, sliced


1/4 pound green beans





Place the water, chicken breast, and rice in a covered pot and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the carrots and green beans and simmer another 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Puree the chicken meat in your blender or food processor with enough of the cooking liquid to make it moist. Add the carrots and beans, and more cooking liquid if necessary, and puree until smooth. Keep refrigerated or frozen in cubes in a tightly covered container.








Pureed Carrots and Rice





2 Tbs. raw brown rice


6 carrots, (scrubbed %26amp; chopped into small pieces)


1-1/3 cups water (or you can use broth or leftover cooking liquid from cooking vegetables)


1 teaspoon sweet butter (optional)





Place the rice and carrots in a saucepan along with the water and cover the pan. Simmer on the stove until the water is all absorbed. This takes about 30 to 40 minutes. When it is cool enough to handle, puree the mixture in your blender or food processor, (with the butter if you desire), until it is smooth. Keep refrigerated or frozen in cubes in a tightly covered container.








Pureed Chicken and Vegetables





1 Potato, cooked and chopped


1 Carrot, scrubbed and chopped


1/2 Zucchini, scrubbed, peeled and chopped


1/2 Celery stalk, scrubbed and chopped


1/4 to 1/3 cup chicken meat, skinless, boneless and thoroughly cooked





Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer until everything is tender. Drain and puree the mixture in a blender or food processor along with enough of the cooking liquid to help with the blending. Keep refrigerated or frozen in cubes in a tightly covered container.








Sweet Potatoes





3 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)


enough cold water to cover the sweet potatoes





Peel the sweet potatoes, rinse, and slice into 1/4'; slices. Place the sweet potatoes in a saucepan. Add enough water to just to cover the potatoes. Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Once they are boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for ten to fifteen minutes. The potatoes are done when a fork will easily pierce them. Drain the sweet potatoes and place them in your food processor adding enough liquid during the processing to achieve a smooth consistency. Keep refrigerated or frozen in cubes in a tightly covered container.








I used sterilized ice cube trays to freeze the pureed foods. Each cube should be about one ounce. As soon as the food was frozen, I'd pop out the cubes and seal them up with my FoodSaver in the bags. Use them within two months.





You can puree them as much or as little as you want, depending on how well your baby eats lumpy food and can chew.
boiled and cooled softened carrots seem to be a favorite of my 13 m old. but any veggie or fruit cut into small pieces are good. An occasional hot dog is good to. just make sure (depending on there stage of tooth development) it is a swallow able size. I also introduced a baby fork at an early stage to help developmental progress. And always let them share with you!!
If you get the ';What to Expext the First Year'; or ';What to Expect:The Toddler Years';, they have some good recipes that I have tried with my almost-2 year old
potatoes
try cut up potatos, french fries, fruits soft stuff like that
try rice or any grain type except bread


i never feed my nephew any baby food yet
