Some of the ingredients which you could use to  decorate food are ornament salad, parsley or fennel leaves.</p><p>You can draw some  funny face on the porridge using jam; you can cut in some unusual way such  vegetables as cucumbers, radish, carrot and tomatoes. Try to dispose them on  the plate in some attractive way. For example it can be made a picture of a  flower, or a butterfly. Be as creative, as you can manage. It will be difficult  only at first, but then you can even enjoy this play.</p><p>Also try to collect  all <a
title="recipes" href="http://www.annabelkarmel.com/" target="_blank">recipes</a>, that seems to be both  healthy, simple to prepare and tasty. There is an opinion, that healthy meals  are difficult to prepare and if you want to get some really tasty food, you  should also use a lot of various and exotic ingredients. But this is not truth.  Actually simple dishes can be very tasty and healthy in the same time.</p><p>Here are some baby  food recipes, that you can suggest to your baby, as soon as he or she will be  able to champ (10-11 months approximately). Before giving some of these dishes  you should be sure, that your baby is not allergic for some of the ingredients.</p><p><strong>Salad</strong></p><p>Grate a carrot on a  grinding machine, then add two tea spoons of sour cream and add two or three  chopped dried plums. Please note, that you have no need to add any sugar. Mix  it well – you have got a sweet and also full of vitamin A dish. If you want to  make it even daintier, and if your baby is not allergic, you can also add there  some grated walnuts. This dish can help, if your baby has inclination to  coprostasia, in this situation you should put some more dried plums and also  add some dried apricots.</p><p><strong>Stewed vegetables</strong></p><p>You should take a big  pan for this. Slice two or three medium carrots, put them into a pan, add some  water and stew for 10 minutes on the slack fire. This time cut into dice two or  three eggplants and 5 or 6 bell peppers.</p><p>The peppers should be shelled from the  seeds. Then add these vegetables to the carrot and keep stewing for another  half hour. Then crumble up green stuff, you like (the most fit would be such as  dill and parsley). Add it in the pan and stew for two or three other minutes  (not more, as otherwise all useful vitamins will disappear).</p><p>While preparing  you can add boiled water in the pan, if needed. You have no need to add any  oil. But if you want you can add some olive oil, when the dish will be ready.  This can be a grate garnish for the meat or it is also tasty with cheese.</p><p><strong>A soup with meatballs</strong></p><p>Take a pan; fill it  with water for ¾. Put it on fire. While the water is being on the boil cut in  cubes 1 carrot, 1 onion, 3 or 4 potatoes and put them in water. Let them boil  for 20 minutes (the vegetables should become easy breakable). Then take minced  meat, make little balls and put them into the soup.</p><p>Prepare another 5 minutes, and  then add eatable greens in according to your tastes and some salt. The soup is  ready. As can you see, if you have got minced meat the preparation takes only  25 minutes or so.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.mums-babies.co.uk/baby-development/recipes-for-babies.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Healthy food for babies</title><link>http://www.mums-babies.co.uk/baby-development/healthy-food-for-babies.html</link> <comments>http://www.mums-babies.co.uk/baby-development/healthy-food-for-babies.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 18 May 2010 13:59:23 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jennifer</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Baby Development]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Babies Recipe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Recipes]]></category> <guid

What food to chose, how much should your baby eat during the day, should  you prepare by yourself or it is agreeable to buy ready meals in the store –  all these questions will come. To ensure your baby rational and healthy foods  keep in mind some advices.</p><p>The first is to stick  to the recommended menu. In the age of 9-10 months your baby should get every  day these quantities of products: vegetables – 200 grams, fruits – 50-100 grams, meat – 50 grams, cereal – 200 grams, curds – 50 grams. Two times a week  he should get a half of egg yolk. Also should be added 3 grams of olive oil and 3 grams of bread.</p><p>Such or  something like this recommendations are given in health books, on parenting web  sites and others. They are approximate. You should follow these schemes after a  consultation with you baby health care specialist. If your baby does not wish  to eat all products, that he should, do not make him. May be next time he will  eat with pleasure.</p><p>Researches have shown  that if the baby has the possibility to choose by himself how much and what  exactly to eat, he is able to get all needed proteins, fats and carbohydrates  as well as vitamins and minerals. This however works only if there is a good  choice and the baby hasn’t any unhealthy food habits.</p><p>Your aim is to ensure  him the best possible choice of quality products. It is perfect, if you have  the possibility to farm your own vegetables and fruits. This would be the best  way to make sure there were not used some unhealthy pesticides, while the  products were growing.</p><p>The good choice can be made also on some country market  places. Try to get personal contact with provider, as where and how were  cultivated the fruits and vegetables.</p><p>But if you have to buy  the vegetables on the supermarket, you should be more careful. Get all possible  information on how these products were cultivated. Prefer the products with marks  that confirm their organic purity. May be the best choice would be to buy the  ready food for babies. It passes strict control for its safety. But meanwhile  you should pay your attention to the information on the package.</p><p>Read all  information of the content, where it was made, when, which preservatives were  used. In ideal the package should not include anything except the product  itself. No salt, sugar or any food colorants, flavor enhancers or others such  things. For example if you buy pumpkin, the composition should include: pumpkin,  water.</p><p>The best option for  any mum is to cook healthy baby <a
title="recipes" href="http://www.annabelkarmel.com/" target="_blank">recipes</a> at home. A growing baby needs healthy and nutritious food which is cooked at  home.</p><p>And the last advice  would be to give your baby a good example by yourself. If you will eat only hamburgers  and pizza, your child won’t believe perhaps, that his soup of vegetable marrow  and broccoli is something eatable. When offering some food to him never show  such attitude as “I would never eat this by myself!”</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.mums-babies.co.uk/baby-development/healthy-food-for-babies.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
