Finger Foods!
« on: May 01, 2011, 23:03:34 pm »
I need some finger food ideas, specifically, protein! My little guy is very ready for finger foods, as the pureed stuff was not doing much for him. We've done soft veggies, fruits, pasta, cheerios. But he needs protein! I want to avoid meat for a little longer, but not sure what to give.  ???

Also, other finger food ideas are very welcome!  ;D

For protein - maybe try some cut up cheese (soft) and avocado (not sure if you tried that yet).  Also, not sure what your doc says about when to give your DS eggs, but if he is ok with it, scrambled egg and hard boiled egg yolk are good sources of protein that he may like. (I didn't give my DS egg whites until a year, but I believe at 8 months I was given the green light for egg yolks). 

Have fun with it!!

Thanks! This looks yummy and super easy to make. I've never heard of adzuki beans. I wonder how hard that's going to be to find. Maybe I can substitute with another bean?!

I think you can use whatever beans you like!  I can't remember if I used the adzuki beans or not.  I think I just used kidney beans and chickpeas.
