ABC Bolgonaise

Baby S's first taste of pasta, bolognaise style..

I used ABC pasta because I thought this was soft enough. I've tried the organic, baby pasta stars b4 but I felt they were hard to cook and despite cooking till the outside was soft and mushy, the inside was still hard..

Ingredients:
Cooked pasta of your choice (whatever is suitable for baby.)
Garlic
Onion
Dried oregano
tomato paste (I used organic, no salt added paste)
seeded, skinned diced tomato
minced meat
Chicken/ Vege stock (I used two ice cube portion of stock)
other vege of your choice (So far I have used french beans. green peas and broccoli, all work well for taste, texture and colour contrast)
Cheddar cheese

Fry garlic and onion in one drop of vegetable oil until frragrant. Then add in meat and stir/ separate while its cooking. Then add in tomato, about a teaspoon of tomato paste, 2 ice cubes of chicken stock, oregano and let it all come to boil and cook for about 5 mins.

Just before taking it off the fire, add in about a teaspoon to one table spoon of cheddar cheese (I use the pre shredded one) and mix it in until melted. Add a dash of pepper, stir and dish onto cooked pasta.

Serve to a hungry baby


DId she enjoy it?


ALL GONE! Even protested that mummy S didnt let her finish these last few remaining pieces of pasta..


The type of tomato paste i used. Any type will do, as long as its salt free...


Another variation of the bolognaise sauce, with the addition of french beans instead..

Fish Porridge

Fish, tomato and wolfberries porridge.

Sorry I realise I only have one pic of a fish porridge..

When I make fish porridge, i prefer to steam the fish separately with a slice of ginger over it. This way i can mash the fish up and remove all the bones instead of risking the bone disappearing into the porridge.

Notice the big piece of garlic in the porridge? It makes such a difference to add in garlic.. oh the fragrance and taste difference it makes.

I prefer to throw this in right from the start. By the time porridge is cooked, the garlic will be soft and u can mash and mix it into porridge and serve it to baby.

I also boiled a egg and added in the eg yolk..
