Being a full-time working mum really feels like a clown juggling through many tasks, especially after I started baby on solids, and I'm trying my best to delay giving processed foods to her. Sounds silly, but I feel foods prepared fresh are the most nutritious. Wish me good luck in continuing with this thinking!
Started bbtx with puree when she was 6 months old and recently progressed to 1 meal of porridge and 1 meal of puree a day. During weekdays she'll eat porridge for lunch at the infant care center and I'll feed her puree when she's back in the evening. But during weekends, I'll have to prepare both on my own. Hearing from my friend who recently attended Mrs Wong Boi Boi's weaning talk, I try my best not to freeze any food that is meant for bbtx, and that includes the stock that I cooked to make her porridge.
Every weekend I'll buy fresh chicken bones or pork soft bones, clean them and boil them for about 2hrs to get a flavorful stock. Then I'll make porridge with this stock. Sounds like lots of work, but seeing her excitedly opening her mouth and finishing the porridge is definitely worth it.
Ingredients:
1/2 tbsp white rice
1/2 tbsp brown rice
Stock
Spinach
Carrot
1 pc of meat fr soup stock
Method:
1) Combine all the ingredients into the slow cooker pot and switch it on high heat for 2hrs.
2) When porridge is ready and just before feeding, scoop out the spinach, carrot and meat into blender to puree them.
3) Once the ingredients are pureed, scoop the porridge into bowl together with the pureed ingredients.
