The super power baby porridge




My son William started his solids this month, so now I need to step up my cooking-game. I bought a really good book (Super Baby Food, by Ruth Yaron) and one of the recipes are a must know. The author claims that her 3 year old toddler is still eating this and that babies who have been fed this stuff almost never gets sick, so I thought it was worth the try and so far - no sickness:

The whole idea is to make sure to ad grains to an often all veggie/fruit diet (baby needs to be 6 months or older to have this porridge). I mix the porridge with fruits in the morning and vegetables afternoon and night.
The great news is that this is really easy to make as well - and this is coming from a person with no cooking skills whatsoever.
Bye some organ brown rice, wash them and but 1/4 cup into your blender/foodprocesser for 2 solid minutes. The noise is awful, but the fine grinding is necessary.
Boil 1 cup of hot water. When the water starts to boil on the stove, turn the heat down and in goes the rice.
Stir frequently with the whisk to prevent burning and to remove lumps.
You can adjust the consistency with water as you see fit.

So easy and so good to keep in the fridge at all times. I use it as a base for all his meals.

In other news, the movers are coming on Thursday! So we are ultra-busy now...Norway here we come..
