Little Joy has started to prefer foods jam packed with spices and flavor and I am just not a good enough cook yet to know what spices, flavors and foods go well together. I have been on the look out for recipes that contain spices so I can learn better how to use them!
Little Joy loves pasta and cheese so when I saw this recipe on wholesomebabyfood.com (Chicken Cheesey Pasta), I just had to try it! Sometimes I have to remind myself that pastas and cheeses are very rich and filling so she wont eat quite as much of it. This was a very easy recipe and in fact---I LOVED IT TOO!!!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cooked diced or shredded chicken (I did it shredded)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup pasta - ditalini; slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup steamed broccoli
- 1/8-1/4 cup steamed carrots (or sweet potatoes) diced or smashed
- dash of pepper, garlic powder and basil
Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together well
- Serve
- NOTE: This doesnt make the greatest finger food because its got little chunks of cottage cheese and veggies. Serve as is for those accustomed to lumps & textures or chop/mash down or puree if needed.
Yield: A TON
Serve: By spoon or for an older baby they could do it as a finger food or at least SOME of the parts of the meal as a finger food.
Timing: 10 months; I only say 10 months because it has some strange textures going on all at once not to mention strong flavors.
Difficulty: 2 out of 5; it is only a 2 because it has more than a couple ingredients
Miscellaneous: Be sure your chicken stays moist, this will help ensure it is easy to mash up or for baby to grind
