Last night I decided to make collard greens and use the recipe on the back of the package. The recipe calls for a couple of cans of chicken broth (see below), but I wanted to make my own fresh chicken broth.

Then I had to figure out what to do with the cooked chicken I used to make the broth. That’s when I came up with my own chicken casserole dish. I was very pleased, the dinner came out tasty and healthy. Even my two-year old liked the casserole. And to all of you preggies out there, this dinner is heartburn free!  It’s self-tested. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Baby Food Recipe – Chicken and Cream of Wheat

I made this recipe of mine a few times and my toddler seems to like it very much! So I thought I’d share.

It’s very easy to make.  All you need is one serving of cooked cream of wheat, quarter table spoon of butter and couple of ounces of cooked chicken pureed using food processor. I usually bake my chicken, but it can be boiled or broiled.  As long as it’s not too spicy or too salty.  In order for chicken to come out creamy I add an ounce or two of water to the food processor.

Once everything is cooked and chicken pureed, add all the ingredients together and you got yourself a meal or two for your baby or toddler!

Homemade baby food is cheaper than the store bought and it is more eco-friendly since there is no additional container involved!

Baby Food Recipe – Chicken and Mashed Potatoes

Today I experimented with a new dish for my toddler – chicken and mashed potatoes.  Came out pretty yummy.  In fact it’s so good, I could eat the whole thing myself!

I used couple of ounces of boiled chicken breast, two mid-size baked potatoes, half cup of whole milk and about quarter of a table spoon of butter.  I skinned the baked potatoes and cut them into smaller pieces.  I cut the chicken into smaller pieces as well.  Then I threw everything into the food processor and let it puree.  It came out a little on the thick side, but it will probably be okay.  If not, I can dilute it more with milk or water later.

Homemade baby food is actually more eco-friendly than the store bought one.  Why?  Because it doesn’t involve a glass jar or a plastic container that baby food normally comes in.  These usually end up in the garbage right?  So by avoiding store-bought, you create less garbage!
