  • Here is a quick leftover combo you can try out today. The fish and scrambled eggs does a good job making your kids eat the beans, this is if beans is not a favorite 😀 The ingredients needed most likely will be somewhere in your fridge so just get them out and whip this nutrient dense meal. It's not everyday we have to cook from scratch 😜 For younger kids less than 1, you can make sure the fish and beans is very tender so you can mash with a fork for a puree like consistency. Remember to share and save😄 Turn on post notifications to always get easy and interesting meals you kids will love.♥️♥️ #Toddler #toddlermeals #toddlerlife #toddlermeal #familymeal #breakfast #lunch #dinner #whatmytoddlereats #whatmytoddlerate #cooking #cookingforkids #cookingfortoddlers #toddlersofinstagram #toddlerfoodrecipe #toddlerfoodideas #toddlerfood #toddlerfoodie #babyhealthybites #cooking #cookingtime #toddlermomlife #toddlermeals #toddlerfood #toddlerfoodideas #toddlersnacks #toddlermealideas
  • Make your cream cheese at home today! Very simple and straight forward. Very great sauce of protein and calcium, also help with weight gain for your kids. Go ahead and save this so you can check back on it later.😀 Don't forget to share. Before I go ahead to how you can make it, let's discuss the milk we will be using. First we will need whole or full cream milk, I know @peak_milk and @danomilkng have full cream milk. You can use powdered milk also, I have not tried with evaporated milk so I don’t know if it will work. If using powdered, we will be using in the ratio 3:1 that is, 1 cup of powdered milk to 3 cups of water. How you can use for cream cheese 1. Use as a spread on breads, biscuits, pancakes etc 2. Blend with fruits or add to smoothies. 3. You can also use to bake 3. You can add it to sauces also With that said, here are the ingredients you will need 1. Milk ( full cream) 2. Lemon (2 tbsp) Steps 🍒Pour milk into a deep sauce pan, if using powdered milk, add the water and make sure it dissolves properly. 🍒 Heat up the milk, using low heat. Once the temperature is bearable and not too hot, 🍒 Add the lemon juice or vinegar, stir in properly. 🍒 Allow the mixture to rest for about 3 mins for the milk to curdle and separate from the whey. 🍒 Sieve out as much whey as possible. 🍒Blend your cheese, you can add a little salt for older kids( I mean a tiny bit of salt) You can store this in a refrigerator for 5-7days. Want more interesting puree or smoothies for your baby, just hit me in the DM. #babyhealthybites #babyledweaningideas #babyledeating #firstfoods #mumlife #babypuree #stayathomemom #firsttimemum #expectingmum #creamcheese  #nigerianbabyfood #babyfoodrecipes #babyfirstfood #babyledweaningideas #babyfoodprep #blwideas #toodlerfoodideas #toodlerfood #toddlermumlife #motherhood #firstfoods #startingsolids #babysfirstfood #solidfood #blw #homemadecheese

Some alternative thickners you can use are 1. Sweet Potato purée 2. Egusi paste 3.

  • Sound on🔊 Here is a video recipe to my "Cold Mix". I posted it a few months back, and I thought this would be a good one today as the weather has been sooo cold 🥶 It's a raw video of about 2 minutes, listen through and I hope it helps☺️ Important notes For kids under 12 months, you can use date syrup and not honey. No honey for kid younger than 12 months. Be sure to save and share with other moms. 😀🥰
  • Infant Swallow Idea🚨 Try out this sweet potato and oat swallow for your 6 month old. Not every time amala, here is a good and nutritious swallow idea also. It's quite simple, just blend your sweet potato and add oats flour and that's it. A little about Psyllium husk.👇🏽 Psyllium is a form of fiber made from the husks of the Plantago ovata plant’s seeds. It has lots of health benefits. But for the purpose of this recipe, it's used to bind the potato mix. It's really not necessary to add as your swallow will still form bacause of the starch contained in the potato and oats. Go ahead and try it, it's really delicious 😋 #healthybaby #babyhealthyfood #babyhealthybites #homemadebabyfoods #babyledweaningideas #babyledeating #firstfoods #babycereal #babypuree #stayathomemom #firsttimemum #expectingmum #6monthbaby #nigerianbabyfood #babyfoodrecipes #babyfirstfood #babyledweaningideas #babyfoodprep #newmum
  • Chubby Baby Recipe This is a perfect meal to get your baby on the chubby lane because of the blend of high calorie foods. High calorie foods have shown to be the best food for weight gain in babies. This creamy and rich delicious meal can serve as a meal for your 6 month old. It’s also a great side for your toddler. I came up with this idea when my kids kept refusing to take avocados, I had to look for a way to include it into their meals. Very quick and easy to prepare. 💥Remember to share and save so you can always come back to it. 💥Remember to turn on your notifications so you won’t miss out on a recipe again😁 Ingredients 🥑 1 medium sized egg 🥑 1/2 avocado 🥑 1/8 cup of milk Steps 1. Break egg into a bowl 2. Add milk 3. Pour egg into the already heated oil in frying pan. 4. Allow the egg to set a-bit on very low heat so it won’t burn. 5. Once egg is a bit set, begin to break it up into scrambled egg and mix until properly cooked. 6. Pour scrambled egg into a bowl and set aside. 7. Cut avocado into small chunks and pour into a blender with a little salt, add a little olive oil and blend until smooth and creamy. 8. Pour the blended avocado into the scrambled eggs and mix properly. This can go with toast bread, fries and ginger foods for your toddlers. It’s appropriate as a stand-alone for your little baby. #healthybaby #babyhealthyfood #babyhealthybites #homemadebabyfoods #babyledweaningideas #babyledeating #firstfoods #babycereal #babypuree #stayathomemom #firsttimemom #expectingmum #6monthbaby #nigerianbabyfood #babyfoodrecipes #babyfirstfood #babyledweaningideas #babyfoodprep #newmum #blwideas #whatmytoddlereats
