BLW | Oats Pancake

December 12, 2018December 12, 2018 Aishwarya MS Leave a comment

I have been making pancakes since Sammy was 6 months but never had the patience to click pictures and forget updating on the blog. I have tried pancakes with all sorts of flour- whole wheat, multi grain, ragi flour, oats etc. Oats is the best of all, I absolutely love the texture and the taste. Also, gotta love how easy it is to make. Blender pancakes are the best ever!

BLW | Dryfruit Ladoo

December 11, 2018 Aishwarya MS 1 Comment

Sammy and I made this dry-fruit laddu for Diwali this year. She helped me dump everything in the blender and I let her make some laddus which ended up on the floor. xD But it’s fun cooking with her and this is the only way she lets me cook. My husband and I both have a sweet tooth and no prizes for guessing, Sammy has a sweet tooth too! I let her have one of these laddus for her mid-morning or evening snack along with some milk. She is the happiest when I let her have anything sweet and I don’t mind as these are sugar free and very healthy

BLW | French Toast

December 4, 2018 Aishwarya MS Leave a comment

Sammy loves french toast and I’m so glad she does. *touchwood*. I almost gave up on eggs after she rejected omelette and scrambled eggs multiple times. I made this french toast and she gobbled it like there’s no tomorrow. I love how easy it is to make and Sammy loves finger foods, so it’s a win-win.

Sammy’s favorite books

Sammy is 14 months old and developing a strong personality, goofy for the most part. I now know her likes, dislikes and in-betweens. If you ask what you know for sure about Sammy, I’d say she loves fruits, books, massages and a long bath. She absolutely loves the 100 percent attention we give her while reading books or while giving her a massage.

2 Ingredient Teething Cookies

August 4, 2018 Aishwarya MS 2 Comments

These teething cookies are healthy and so easy to make that you will never want to buy the store-bought ones ever. You babies/toddlers will love gnawing on them like there’s no tomorrow. Sammy likes to hold them by herself and she’s so happy that I let her do so. We have teethers in all sorts of shapes and sizes and she easily gets bored of them but these cookies are such lifesavers. Here’s how I make them.

Multi-grain Porridge/Sathumaavu Kanji

July 12, 2018August 4, 2018 Aishwarya MS Leave a comment

I gave Sammy only ragi/finger-millet porridge initially as I was asked not to give her more than one ingredient at a time. This porridge is a mixture of various grains and millets that are very healthy. So I started giving this only around 7th month. The procedure to cook this is very similar to ragi porridge and it smells heavenly. I add fruit chunks or peanut butter to it to make it more flavorful and also she likes to gnaw on the fruits. Here’s how I make it.

Buckwheat porridge

Hey guys,
I’m here with another healthy porridge recipe/idea for your bub. My mom and MIL sent some amazing homemade porridge powders that I can cook into a porridge in a jiffy but I was looking for more options and my friend recommended this product to me which my bubsy loves. I started giving this when she was around 8 months. I cook this and add half an avocado or peanut butter or berries. Adding avocado/banana/nut butters/yogurt makes this porridge so creamy and filling. I add berries or other fruit chunks when she’s struggling with teething and gnawing on these fruit chunks helps her with the itchy gums. You can find this cereal in cereal aisle at Wholefoods. Alright, here’s how I cook it.

Ragi Kanji/Finger Millet Porridge

Ragi is one of the most nutritious food that you can give your baby. This was the first solid food Sammy had I think when she was around 5 months. I din’t add any sweetener like jaggery or sugar as she has got used to the natural flavor of the porridge. I just used to cook the porridge and add some breastmilk to thin the consistency of the porridge. Eventually as her appetite built up, I started adding mashed banana/peanut butter/ steamed apple to the porridge to give it a flavor. Here’s how I make it.

Easy Purée Ideas For Babies

July 3, 2018August 4, 2018 Aishwarya MS Leave a comment

I introduced solids to Sammy when she was around five months old as her doctor suggested. I breastfeed her as usual and give these as a complimentary food. I started with finger-millet porridge and some vegetable/fruit purée. I followed the 3 day rule for a month i.e I’d give her one fruit/vegetable and wait for 3 days to introduce anything new and I gave her only single ingredient purees so that it will be easy to tell what caused her the allergy. Here are some of the ideas.
