5 Meals and Recipes for your babe this week
Feed your baby can be hard. Let me help.
- Tomato, spinach and egg scramble. Eggs are so easy, healthy and easy for baby to eat. I like to add sautéed and chopped spinach and tomatoes to make it healthy and heartier and for her to try new flavors. she loved it. Along with some full fat yogurt and berries for a perfect breakfast. Hot tip- add a splash of milk when whisking together your eggs for extra protien, calcium and to make them super fluffy.

3. Rotisserie chicken is your friend. I get one from whole foods and serve it to Posey hot or cold. It’s great to just break it up and keep in the refrigerator as cooked protein ready to go. I served this with some beans- high fiber, calories and iron. And steamed broccoli. Easy. Delicious. Healthy.
4. Baby Charcuterie plate: Great for snack time/ late lunch. Chopped up roasted deli turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, some kind of cut fruit- today was kiwi and puffs. we eat it on the floor together and play/read or watch a a movie. Its great.
5. White rice and “Curry” chicken. This is super simple recipe. I marinate the chicken thighs in 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, a teaspoon of turmeric and a little grated garlic and a little salt and pepper. Gives it a great flavor with extra protein and interesting flavors. I let the chicken marinate for an hour and then put it in a crock pot with 2 cups of water or chicken broth, 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped tomatoes. Let it cook all day for the perfect turmeric chicken for the whole family to love over steamed white rice!
With love & salt,
