How to make your powder delicious?
As a skilled chef and creator of Weelicious,
a website about good food for newborns, toddlers and children, I learned that
one of the easiest ways to add some vitality to homemade infant food herbs and
spices. One of the first vegetables I choose for my son (Kenya) is the crushed
pumpkin. I was depressed when he refused to eat on the first 3 times. In the 4th
time, I have added a little pumpkin pie, and he ate all. Here are the advices
to do the your first delicious dishes.
Avoid salt and sugar
Avoid
salt and sugar
When your child first time learns about the
new flavors and textures, from 4 to 6 months old, you want he/she really enjoy
what he/she is eating. Avoid salt and sugar to enhance the flavor of food.
Simple starting
Once your child is familiar with a new
food, try adding a little spice or herb to a fruit powder or crushed vegetable
(use organic products whenever you can), anything for this age group, but do not
use strong spices such as cayen chili. You can use fresh or dried spices and
herbs, but remember that the dry type is more concentrated and you only need to
use a little to add flavor to food.
Be careful
Start by adding just a little spice or herb
into powder, you need to mix well; you do not want to lose the taste of food.
Creating perfect couples
The good combination includes sweet
potatoes and cinnamon; black beans and coriandrum sativum; pumpkin and nutmeg;
peas and fresh mint; cauliflower and paprika; pear and ginger; carrots and
Cumin.

The handmade small meals
To make food for your baby, please team or
bake fruit or organic vegetables. Let it cool, then puree in blender or food
processor machine. Let store it in glass or plastic bottles without BPA 4 days maximum
in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.
Packed food
If you can not find the time (or energy) to
make food for your baby by yourself, you can feel good about feeding your baby
theses organic foods. Ella’s Kitchen Blueberry + Pear Baby Brekkie mix with
fruit yogurt and whole grain rice ($ 2, target.com), Plum Organics Sweet
Potato, Mango & Millet includes one kind of fruit, vegetable and whole
grain rice ($ 2, plumorganics.com) and Nurturme Sweet Banana contains only
dried bananas and can be mixed with water, breast milk or formula milk ($ 10/8
packs, nurturme.com).
Increase
nutrition for you baby: replace rice cereal by whole grain cereal such as
barley.
