What's Cooking?

I have been cooking for Skyler since he started solid at about 4-5 months old. No salt, no sugar, no seasoning until he is about 13-14 months old. I will post some of the recipes that I prepared at earlier baby stage till present. Give me some times, I will share one by one. You know Skyler keeps me handful! :)

Here is one of my very first recipes:

PUMPKIN MAC N CHEESE

Ingredients:

1 cup of pumpkin puree

1 cooked egg yolk

1 cup pasta

½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup of chopped steamed broccoli

1 tsp of all purpose fluor                                                

1 tsp of butter

6oz of milk or formula

Cooking instruction:

-          Melt butter in slow heat, once melted, add in all purpose flour and cook for 3 minute in very low heat.

-          Remove from heat and stir in milk slowly

-          With medium heat, add in pumpkin puree and cooked for 1 minute

-          Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese  and cooked broccoli

-          Stir in pasta

Blending:

-          Instead of pumpkin puree, I sometimes use just baked pumpkin that I scope out  in chunk, I normally blend the mac n cheese sauce with egg yolk one more time after it is cooked so I can reach that smooth cheese sauce before I stir in the pasta.

Note:  Can blend pasta if baby is not old enough to munch the pasta, I think milk will be better than formula because formula will make it a little too sweet for Mac N Cheese.
