Post by: daisymelan on March 27, 2006, 13:38:51 pm

Fruit
-pear
-peaches
-banana
-apple
-mango
-avacado

Veg
-sweet potatoe
-carrot
-squash
-peas
-green beans
-yellow beans
-parsnip

-yoghurt
-cottage cheese

-rice rusks
-baby cheerios
-whole wheat bread
-frozen bagels

On my list of things to try in the next bit

- potatoes
- egg yolk

Any advice would be greatly welcomed.  I cook all my own food, so maybe just give an idea of how to prepare what you suggest.

TIA

For fruits what about:

- blueberries (you can boil and puree or do finger food)
- apricots (get 1 lb dried apricots - unsulphured and boil in mixture of 1 cup white grape juice and 1 cup water for 15 minutes and then puree)
- melons - finger food or puree/mash a ripe cantelope, honeydew or watermelow

Veggies:
- beans (lentils and split peas are good) - cook and puree
- broccoli (and/or cauliflower) - wash and cut into small pieces, steam until tender and puree
- eggplant - wash and peel eggplant cut into 1 inch pieces and steam until tender and puree

Hope that helps!

How about rice, pasta and cous cous.
My DD loves cheese as a snack just introduced that.
Spinach, pumpkin, also DD loves grapes.

Hope this helps.
