I’m very excited to be sharing my very first guest post with you all, on a great blog called  Never the Same Spice Twice.  I have 3 new recipes suitable for baby 6 months plus.  

Check it out here…

With consecutive 42 degree days in Melbourne this week, I was keen to beat the heat with this super easy chilled soup.  I wasn’t sure that Big H would go for the aniseed taste straight away but he did!

A refreshing puree of lychee, pineapple & apricot – perfect for a summer’s day

Now that Big H is 10 months old it won’t be long before he is eating dinner with Cam and I (no separate kids meals for us!).  So as often as I can I like to give Big H what we are having for dinner – only puréed.

It has been a challenge to avoid adding salt/sugar (and other ingredient that babies shouldn’t be having at this stage) and instead substituting with fruits and other ingredients to add sweetness or saltines.

My photography skills aren’t quite up to making pureed meat look appetising! I promise it tastes great

Summer Fruit Puree & Stone Fruit Puree with Cinnamon and Star Anise

 

I often make this dessert for Cam and I but with the addition of sugar syrup.  The sous vide cooks apricots amazingly well. They have a beautiful texture once cooked. You could also make this dish on the stove top if you don’t have a sous vide. The flavour will be the very similar but you will lose the velvety texture.  Little Big H loves the tartness of this dish but it if is too tart for your little one, try adding a banana or some cooked apple.
