I have already discussed in this blog my version of the basics of home-made baby food, now it's time for me to share with you guys the recipes I used to make baby food for my little one.
I got the original recipe from Homemade Babyfood Recipes. I just made a little tinkering and modified it a bit. I made this for Trev when he was 11 months old but based on the website I mentioned, you can give this to your baby as early as 10 months old.
Here's my modified recipe:
2 medium potatoes
1/2 cup silken tofu (See picture below for the brand I used)
2 tbsp milk (I used breastmilk)
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
Nutmeg (Optional)
Note: We don't have a conventional or convection oven at home. So, I used our microwave oven to bake the potatoes. There are a lot of instructions on the web as to how you can bake potatoes using your microwave oven, but I found a good one here. You can google more instructions if this method doesn't work for you. :-)
Instructions:
- Wash, scrub and prick the potatoes then bake until tender.
- Beat tofu until creamy.
- Halve the baked potatoes and scoop out the pulp.
- Add to the tofu then stir in with milk.
- Beat well then add most of the cheddar cheese.
- Return the potato mixture to the skins then top with the remaining cheese.
- Return to the microwave oven and bake just until the cheese melts.
- Dust with a little nutmeg to taste.
My version of Baked Potato with Tasty Tofu. Delish! :-) |
Bought this from Healthy Options, SM North Edsa branch. I'm sorry I forgot how much this was, but I think it's more or less Ph200. |
My baby loved it as much as I did! Hihi! Yeah, actually you can also make this for yourself or your husband, or your entire family! Just substitute the milk with non-fat or evaporated creamer, add seasoning like salt and pepper, granulated garlic or whatever that you want for your liking. It's a great and healthy snack for everyone! :-)
Have you made your own baked potato version yet?
