Baby Food Recipes
Posted April 26th, 2012 in Food No Comments »Since Hiro started eating finger foods I’ve been enjoying cooking for him more than for myself. Now, as a one-year-old boy he eats variety of food (although he doesn’t like steamed rice and egg sometimes) 3 times a day + snack. He loves eating! I’ve taken him to Miss Maud lunch buffet the other day, and he ate as much as I did – bread, roasted vegetables, fruits, cheese ….. a lot of them. And I didn’t even need to pay a cent for those food he ate as he is under 4 years of age.
As I note what he eats everyday on mybabyatewhat.com I cook variety of food each day. Sometimes he doesn’t like the food and I have no idea what to give him instead, but most of the time he enjoys my food.
Here are few recipes of the food he likes : if you happen to have kids you may wanna try them out, I thought 🙂
