Creamy Yummy (Stage 1) Vegetarian Recipe
1) 2 cups organic potato (peeled and cut into small cubes)
2) 1 cup water or home made unsalted vegetable stock
3) 2 tablespoon organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil
4) 1 organic leek (open and washed properly, use white stalk only) chopped.
5) ½ cup organic frozen peas (check label to make sure there is no salt added and also that it is made in the USA)
Add olive oil to pan, add leeks and sauté for about 5 minutes while stirring, add potato and water (or stock) and cover , cook for about 9 minutes, add the frozen peas and continue cooking for about 6 more minutes or until they are all soft. Puree to the right consistency for baby- For a creamy texture I use a food mill and for a mushy texture use a food processor.
Good source of fiber, folate, manganese, vitamin A, C, K.
There is no need for added flour (fillers) because the meal is not watered down, make sure the food you feed your baby doesn’t come with any added flour, flour is mostly used to thicken the food to help mask the ton of water added. Do not feed babies ‘empty nothing’, make every bite counts, whenever you want to feed something to your baby ask yourself what nutritional role is that little bite going to play?
Remember that every bite your baby takes is a nutritional opportunity for you to nourish your baby with the very best.
Some tips to help you make the right choices:
Taken into consideration how tiny baby tummies are and given the fact that they can only take so many bites a day efficiency is of the utmost importance
-Make sure the diet is sufficient with good calories, protein, calcium, whole grains and other complex carbohydrates, veggies and fruits WITH OUT FLOUR (FILLERS)
-Feed babies food that satisfy more than one nutritional requirement i.e. wholegrain will satisfy the need for complex carbohydrates and iron
-Do not feed babies ‘empty nothing’, make every bite counts.
