t O m A t O !

she didnt like it when i sliced it up into wedges for her... she loves sinking her tiny teeth into the tomato and prob feel the juice fill her little mouth! she really enjoyed herself very much with the tomato and she sat to enjoy her little snack! this is something daddy won't join her cos he dislike fresh tomatoes!

chicken stew

chop, chop, chop!!! i diced carrots, potatoes, onions, shallots and chicken as tiny as i can and i cooked it for almost an hour to make chicken stew esp for my gal. baby R has started to be picky with her food... she is prob getting sick of having jus fish porridge... i also wanted her to try chicken... chose this dish as i hope she would get nutrients from the chicken and the vegs.

told gx my plans to try out this chicken stew and when i told him we are having it for lunch too... he freaked out and he didnt want any... but he changed his mind when he smelt the aroma of the stew! gave him a small bowl to try and he wanted more! he took almost 3 small bowls of it!

i had plans that if gx wasnt gog to eat any and if i had left alot, i would buy ready-made puff pastry and make some chicken pies for lunch the next few day! but i was glad that not much was left. daddy loved it as i seasoned it more for him, didnt dare to season baby R's portion too much... she ate but reluctantly she took a few spoonsful and she jus doesnt seem to like meat that much! will try this again some time...

orange veggies!

carrot, pumkin and tomato!

mini cone for mini baby R

baby R loves her mini ice-cream cones!

she gets all the top part and mummy clears the cone itself!

cheese sticks

baby R loves cheese like mummy!

she takes bits of the sliced cheese and i wanted her to try the tube cheese. at first she liked it as i peel off little for her till she took a huge bite off the stick.... she had a very funny expression as she took too much at one go that she had so much cheese in her mouth that she felt yikey! she took some water and she ate more off the stick but she took smaller bites!

soyabean ice-cream

when i was pregnant, i fell in love with this ice-cream!

so baby R had a fair share when she was in my tummy and now that she is out....

she shares it with me and she even fed me and of cos she fed herself too!

steam codfish for baby R and us

a dish for the whole family!

shitake mushroom, eggy tofu and tomato - diced tiny!

so salt, simply steamed for 10mins or till the codfish is cooked and baby R loves it with her porridge. the diced tomato add a tangy taste to the fish and prob makes it more appetising.

soup cooked egg

gx laughed at me when i told him i tried a new method to cook egg

he say this isnt something new as its the same concept in adding egg to instant noodle soup... but it is to me as i just simply want to add beaten egg to lots of soup stock! i suddenly had a tot of what to do with the extra stock. i wanted to add an egg in to cook ... no need to steam as the egg would stick to the side of the plate and make it so difficult to clean. no frying as less oily and wot make the kitchen greasy... i like this method as the egg absorbs the soup stock and the kitchen isnt greasy and the egg doesnt get stuck to the sides making it difficult to clean!

Hotcakes!

*

not so hot with baby R

i got a set of Mc's deluxe breakkie to share with baby R. she loves it at first but somehow when i gave her more of it, she played with it and she didnt eat it... dun know why she changed her mind with the hotcakes so suddenly... i had such heavy breakfast, i felt so full till evening!

banana flower-shaped puffs

baby R's new love

this canister of banana flower-shaped cereal cost $7+.

baby R loves it but not a good keep for more than 2 weeks as it softens and is less crunchy.

new food menu

time for some chnages in baby R's food intake....

i want to give baby r chunkier bits for her meals. this is to help her with her chewing more and then i will be able to give her more different kinds of food with different texture and flavour... i want to make her some food items where she can feed herself.... want to train her motorskills and independence. Made her some steamed cubed pumpkin, egg omelette fried in garlic infused olive oil and tofu soup to go together with her fish rice porridge. the porridge i made for her is no longer mushy.... she likes to feel the grains so i made it less lumpy. 

cheese!

*

Baby R's 1st cheese!

thou my gal can't take yogurt, it didnt stop me from giving baby R her very 1st cheese. i shared a slice of cheddar with her and she loved it. i like the fact that we are able to share our food! i love the shot i took of her and when i sent it to daddy, gx changed his hp wallpaper immediately to this shot! i love the dreamy feel of this pic!

hazelnut spread for baby R

*

this cost $14!

******

   

Organic. is it worth it? i want to let baby r try to have new food items and let her try new flavour and texture but yet i dun want her to be given sugar as she is still too young to have too much of it. nuts are good for health too and this organic spread is not sweeten. i chose hazelnut over others cos i think this is a easy to like nut. if she can eat chocolate this would definitely her favourite bread snack if i gave her one slice of each to sandwich together! she is still adapting to the nutty taste and she wouldnt eat alot of it and i have the rest for baby R!
