Creamy Carrot and Ginger Baby food

Hi all

Here is a yummy simple homemade baby food recipe I made yesterday for Flynn, but I can't claim credit for it! I found it on the BabyUniverse site. It's really simple so give it a try. I wasn't sure how Flynn would go with the Ginger, but he ate the whole lot so there's a good indicator. Apparently Ginger is a great aid to digestion and is used in infant preparations to help upset baby tummies! You learn something new everyday!
Ciao for now..

Creamy Carrot and Ginger
Suitable for baby 7 months upwards

2 carrots, peeled and cubed
1/2 white potato, peeled and cubed
30gm water or homemade chicken stock
30gm cream (optional)
1/8 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 Qubie tray (baby food container)

1. Place the diced carrots and potatoes in a saucepan and just cover with water. Simmer until tender, then drain. Reserve some of the cooking water (unless you are planning on using homemade chicken stock in this recipe).
2. Puree the carrot and potato mixture in a food processor, along with the water (or stock), ginger and cream (if using). You can adjust the consistency of this puree to suit your baby by decreasing or increasing the amount of stock (or water) that you use.
3. Serve this tasty puree as a main meal to a younger baby – or as a veggie accompaniment to a main meal!
4. Pop any left overs in your Qubies for next time.

  1. Your blog is very informative. Eating mindfully has been very hard for people these days. It's all because of their busy schedules, work or lack of focus on themselves. As a student I must admit that I have not been eating mindfully but because of this I will start now. It could help me enjoy my food and time alone. Eating mindfully may help me be aware of healthy food and appreciating food.ลูก ไม่ กิน ข้าว
