  • Let’s put an African twist to our scrambled egg today jare😁 Now the whole idea of starting your babies on real food is to get them used to a wide variety of tastes, textures right at an early age. And we can start is very simple ways with simple ingredients we have around you. And that's why I am here ohh, to give you plenty ideas back to back🤣 Have fun with this one today mothers😃 Please take out the time to share with a mum, I know these recipes really come in handy and every mum would love to have a bunch of these recipes in their arsenal so let’s make it happen by sharing. **Also remember to save this so you can always refer to it. Ingredients 🌶 Onions 🌶 Iru( locust bean/dawadawa) 🌶 1 Scotch bonnet pepper (rodo) 🌶 Crayfish 🌶 Palm oil 🌶 Oil 🌶 Eggs 🌶️ Little butter ( optional, basically for rich flavor)& Steps 1. Finely chop the onions and pepper. You don’t need to use a whole lot just a little is very fine. 2. Mix egg with the chopped onions, pepper, crayfish and blended Iru. 3. Add a tiny amount of palm oil just for the coloring and add salt. 4. In a frying pan, pour in any healthy oil, when the oil is heated up, pour in the egg and allow to form. 5. When formed, use a fork to scramble it, (this allows the scrambled eggs come out in large chunks) Ps. If your toddler picks veggies out please blend the onions, pepper and Iru. **Don't use a lot of pepper, that’s why I used one you can add more if your eggs are plenty. Ways you can use this👆🏾 for your baby. 1. You can mash together with cooked sweet potato or yam. Happy New Week 😃😋😆 #babyfoodideas #pickytoddler #nigerianbabyfood #nigerianmoms #weaningbaby #nigerianbaby #homemadebabyfood #realfoodsforkids #healthyfood #baby #healthybaby #healthybabyfood #babyfood #yummy #blw #blwideas #blwmom #blwinspiration #blwbaby #babyhealthybites #pickyeaters #feedingkids #feedinglittles #8monthold
  • A quick one for your 6 month old👇🏽 This is a quick, no-long story purée your baby would love. Slide through to see how to prepare this delicious breakfast smoothie for your toddler. This is a big hit for the picky eater. Can be done in less that 10 minutes. Here are a few pointers when making this purée 1. The main ingredients are bananas and avocados ( the avocado contains very healthy fats and great for your baby) 2. The pineapple was to add a bit of flavor. So you don’t need much. An alternative you can use is apple. You just need about 1 or 2 pieces of either the pineapple or apple. Not much at all. 3. You can add baby formula or breast milk for more creaminess. 4. You can also prepare in bulk and refrigerate for 2-3days. Exclude adding the milk when storing in bulk. You can add the milk when ready to feed. Homemade meals are not that time consuming if properly planned.😀 #babyfoodideas #pickytoddler #nigerianbabyfood #nigerianmoms #nigerianbaby #homemadebabyfood #healthy #healthyfood #baby #healthybaby #healthybabyfood #babyfood #yummy #blw #blwideas #blwmom #blwinspiration #blwbaby #babyhealthybites #pickyeaters #feedingkids #feedinglittles #6monthold
  • Here is Grandma recipe. My family is blessed with great cooks so I have this thing for just creating recipes on the fly. What I love about this meal is that it’s one meal used for dual purposes.

Let’s help other mothers who will be in need of meal ideas. Ingredients 1. Stew 2. Oat/Wheat flour 3. Cabbage 4. Green pepper 5. Carrots 6. Cameroon pepper 7. Scrambled eggs 8. Sweet potatoes 9. Plantain Steps 1. Peel and cut plantain and potatoes into small pieces. Wash them properly. Add salt to taste and fry. (don’t fry very dry) 2. In a large pot, pour in stew and allow to simmer. 3. Add a little water into the oats/wheat flour and allow to dissolve properly. 4. Add the liquid flour into in the stew a little at a time until stew is a bit thick. 5. Add the fried plantain and potatoes and then finally add the cut veggies and the scrambled eggs. Tip: This meal can be used as a sauce for rice or pasta.
