I’ve been trying to think of meals that Little T can eat on his own with his chubby little fingers. I remembered one of my favorite recipes from my time at the Dr. McDougall 10 Day Health Clinic. It changed my life when I went there because of health problems in 2003. One of the great things about the clinic were the buffets of food they’d have out for each meal. You could pick whatever you wanted to eat and find things you liked so you could make it at home. They also had the names and recipes for all the food. It doesn’t get any easier than that, folks!

When I was thinking of finger food for Little T, I thought of their banana french toast. It’s so easy to make and I knew he’d love it. You can find this recipe in the McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook. You may also be able to find it on their website if you search the newsletter section.

We made this for Little T last night to try it out. We had to make extra because the adults kept sneaking bites. :p He gave a happy little foot kick after each bite and ate two pieces of the french toast. I think it’s a winner.

Hasn’t gotten the spoon figured out yet…

Eating on his own...

Today we had quinoa made in water that was boiled with ginger. It had curry, lentils, and broccoli bits in it. We were working on using the spoon, but he definitely hasn’t mastered that skill yet. He ate half of that bowl. I can’t believe how much this kid eats!

How to make: 

Slice up some ginger and boil it in water. Add the quinoa and cook. Once the quinoa is done, add lime, steamed lentils (I use the Trader Joe Lentils), and steamed diced broccoli.

Carrot and Potato Soup

This is one of Little T’s favorites. We make a big batch of it and eat it throughout the week.

Ingredients:

Two bags of Carrots

Small Potatoes (we use about 1 potato for every 3 carrots)

2 cloves garlic

1 chopped yellow onion

vegetable broth

cumin to taste

curry to taste

lime

salt and pepper to taste

First we put a bit of olive oil in the cooking pot and brown the onions and garlic. Once they’re finished, we add potatoes, carrots and spices and mix them together to get the spices to meld. Then we add the vegetable broth and simmer until the carrots and potatoes are soft (about 30-40 minutes).

Little T can probably eat it without being blended, but we like the consistency when it’s blended. We used a hand mixer  to blend, and then added the lime. Taste the soup to see if you need to add more spices.

Nothings better…

Fourth of July Black Bean Burgers

We always have a great time on the 4th of July, but every year we go and buy some sort of fake hot dog, hamburger, or sausage so we can eat with the rest of the family. We are always disappointed and have never enjoyed the taste of the fake stuff. This year with Little T around, I wanted to make something healthier. I modified the Black Bean Burger recipe from Kris Carr’s “Crazy Sexy Diet”, and holy guacamole, it was amazing. Much better than any sort of fake meat. Little T _loved_ them!

The only problem was that Little T wasn’t in the mood to watch me cook. I gave him a carrot and that amused him for a while:

But soon he wanted a lot more attention than I could give him. At least I was able to make a lot of the black bean burgers. Not enough to actually make it to the 4th of July though, so we’re going to have to go through all of that cooking again. Ah well, it will be worth it when I’m watching the fireworks with Little T and enjoying our meal together.
