[joeyjo]

More himself today

S: humzinger

Bun is getting the hang of BLW now!!

B: A little Oat Porridge with Plum slices, Pumpkin Pancake
L: Lentil Daal, leftover elk burger chunk
D: Broccoli Potato soup on toast fingers (omg he LOVED this!)

He is eating more - not as much as most other LOs on here but so much better than even 2 weeks ago! He is really starting to dive in too. He is serious about his eating for the first 5-10min, then loses interest a bit. So So glad I stuck with BLW though (despite my choking paranoia!!!) - It is SO worth it!!

Happy Birthday George! i hope you all had a great day JoeyJo! Any chance I could be cheeky and ask for your carrot cupcake recipe/

 

[joeyjo]

Carrot cupcakes

2 eggs, 175g golden caster sugar, 150ml sunflower oil, 200g self raising flour, 3 tsp mixed spice, 2-3 medium carrots, 1 tsp vanilla extract, zest of 1 orange

oven 180 degrees C
whisk eggs, sugar & oil until light & Fluffy
fold in other ingredients with a metal spoon
spoon into cases (12-15) and bake 20-25min

I did a non dairy topping as 1 of Gs friends has a severe milk protein allergy. I just mixed a little icing sugar with orange juice & put a tiny blob on each cake yummy! (I actually take the icing off for G anyway!)

Kailee had shepards pie for the very first time. she wanted to even lick the plate clean lol she picked up tiny peices of ground eat and evverything lol i was shocked

 

[hattiehippo]

today Tom had,

B - Shredded wheat (thrown on floor!) raspberries and blueberries which he loves.
L - some of my jacket potato with cheese and chicken, crust from dad's cheese on toast and some of my cherry yoghurt.
D - pastry slice with tomato paste, tuna and cheese which he liked and ate quite a lot of (well for him!)

plus 4 bottles of milk over the day.

Is it ok to give them cereals like weetabix and cheerios? I've avoided them so far becuase of the salt and sugar in them but Tom is currently refusing baby porridge and he was seriously unimpressed with shredded wheat. At this rate he'll end up with toast for every breakfast which I'd like to avoid if possible.

 

[jenny82]

Weetabix is fine but I'm not sure about cheerios. Maybe someone else can tell you? I also give my LO ready Brek and he loves it. I mix some sugar free jam into it from time to time to make it a little sweeter.

Today:

B: toast
L: last nights leftover risotto, breadsticks, banana
D: pasta bolognese from pizza express and a yoghurt (first proper family meal out and it was really good! He wasn't too distracted and ate a good bit!)

L- homemade pizza (ham cheese & sweetcorn) followed by a chopped apple

Adam has had...

b: a whole Shredded Wheat & milk (normal one not bite size, it made a mess but he managed), a satsuma, a banana, 1/2 a punnet of raspberries, a nectarine
s: 1.5 Plum spelt breadsticks, 1/2 a rice cake with creme fraiche and a dab of Marmite
l: most of a 2-egg broccoli, courgette & cheese omelette, cherry tomatoes, a satsuma, a little bit of bread (about a 1/4 of a slice)
d: cottage pie (didn't want much), so offered blueberries and he ate 1/2 a punnet, with quite a lot of yogurt and 3 prunes, and some cherry tomatoes

he seems to be on a fruit kick right now

 

[joeyjo]

How do you put courgette in omelette? Do you pre cook it? With brocolli I usually use left overs & spinach I add raw.

 

[Mary Jo]

I stir-fried the broccoli and courgette with some onion. cut everything really tiny. I managed to burn it a little, so took it all out of the pan, added more oil, then the eggs, then put the non-burnt bits back in and cooked the omelette as usual from there. He loved it, I was amazed.
