Baby Food Recipes?

Does anyone know of some good baby food recipes? My son is 9 months old, and we are starting him on ';Big Boy Food';, trying to stop buying the baby food jars.


Any Ideas???





Thanks in advance!!!Baby Food Recipes?
I like going to http://www.wholesometoddlerfood.com/ They have some great recipes and they help you with your concerns like if you don't think your child is getting enough to eat. (Did you know a tablespoon is a serving size to a one year old?)Baby Food Recipes?
my son is 9 months old also, and i fix him mashed potatoes (plain with just butter). he loves those. also, i give him the Gerber toddler snack crackers. those are a life saver, especially when we take him to the movies, or when he smells OUR food, and just wants something to munch on. i basically give him food with no spices or lots of sugar.
If he is able to eat ceral like Cheerios then you should try that .
I got a KidCo grinder (available in some stores and on-line) and LOVE IT! It turns regular ';people food'; into baby smush in no time! It's easy to use, and easy to clean. Mine came with a case, so I can toss it in the diaper bag and take it with us to restaurants, grandma's, church, wherever and my son can have fresh foods with a variety of flavors.





They're about $15 and worth every penny. Get one ASAP!
Really, we just got a food processer and threw whatever we were eating in there and gave it to our kids once they were old enough to kinda chew and had gone through all the jar foods.
Anything homemade. we started Jordan of on jars but he started to reject them so we would give him smaller portions of what we would have. bangers and mash, spaghetti bolognaise, Shepard's pie, meatballs in tom sauce, Anything pasta, anything fish but not a strong fish, anything potato. Roast dinners are good but might find pork or beef a bit hard to eat at first, but if you are going to do por or beef give him a small chicken breast and some of the pork or beef just remember if he says he does not like it don't panic always have a back up. Jordan would eat anything except oranges and Chinese food but we never found that a problem just adapt your meals around your child and you will start to find things he will eat. Also have him eat meals with you and your partner as he will develop table manners and possibly eat his meals More readily as he will see you and your partner doing it. good luck and maybe if you could take a trip to your local libary you may be able to find a book which can help you. we found one full of recipes and this worked a treat one my partner and our son
I feed my baby everything I eat (unless it contains honey, dairy, wheat or nuts), always have.





His current favorites (he is 8 1/2 months):


Pineapple


Strawberry


Chili


Beans


Broccoli


Potatoes
