The other day Maryam joined us at the dinner table for a while before we began eating. There was half-boiled broccoli on the table so I gave it a bit to chunk it up and put it in Maryam's mouth. She enjoyed two chunks of them that her cheeks puffed up with the vege. As a broccoli fan myself I am so delighted that Maryam eats broccoli, raw. In fact I actually am happy that she eats vegetables! Alhamdulillah, she probably has become used to the taste now as nearly every week I have them in Maryam's meals. Hihi. Broccoli overdose? Hope not!
Before I forget let me quickly share with you guys my latest recipes for Maryam this week.
Oat porridge with mangoes
Maryam is a big fan of mangoes (so is her mom). I found some of them in the fridge so I decided to use them for Maryam's food this week. Similar to last week, I heated up the pan, poured in some water to boil and added in 3 cups of rolled oats. I waited for them to soften and get soaked-up, adding in water as necessary. Meanwhile I peeled the skin of 2 mangoes and cut the flesh into small cubes. When the oat is ready I simply threw them into the food processor together with the mangoes. Maryam of course loves it (so does her mom).
Chicken+ baby rice + cabbage + tomato+ potato + chinese gong pear (Lai fruit)
I steamed the potatoes and Lai fruit separately as the rice cooker was too small to accommodate the whole lot above. I guess it doesn't really matter. I added in the tomato a bit late into the rice cooker, that the rice and everything else in it had cooked at that time. Tomato is already soft and can be eaten raw so I don't really mind about the short duration of the fruit being cooked.
Chicken + sweet potato + carrot + broccoli + apples
Very similar to the cooking method above, but all the above are steamed them poured into the food processor. As simple as that!
