The truth is preparing meals for babies and toddlers is, forgive me, child's play. Ease isn't the only benefit though; these unadulterated goodies come from your heart, your home, the very larder you enter to choose your food. Popular with small mouths, as a mother of one can testify, are simple root vegetables; their natural sweetness a seemingly boring "treat" for my nine-month old son. He always wants more. Cooking them in a chicken broth makes a tasty lunch or dinner; the unsalted broth forms a flavourful basis of many recipes in this blog.
You'll need:
1 Free-range or organic chicken
A selection of root vegetables, eg. carrots, parsnips, swede, potatoes, turnips
A handful of parsley
1 clove of garlic
Water to cover
Bring everything to the boil and then simmer until the chicken and vegetables are cooked. Strain the broth and pop into the fridge, allowing any fat to set. Scrape the fat away once cool and transfer to the freezer to ice cube trays and then, once frozen, store the ice blocks tightly in freezer bags.
Puree or mash the vegetables for delicious and healthy meals.
