September 12, 2008
Double duty foods are meant to provide nutrition for yourself as well as for your baby. You can cook these simple recipes easy and hassle free. The methods of pureeing and steaming can be used for making these lip-smacking homemade meals that are healthful. You can make these foods from the daily ingredients. There are some nutritious and delicious recipes to make for the mom as well as for the toddlers in the family. The other adults would find the dish interesting too.
A toddler of 12-18 months will enjoy a dish of diced ham and cauliflower. The time taken for the preparation of this dish is 8 minutes and the cook time is 20 minutes. The ingredients are four ounces of ham that is thinly sliced and diced with one head cauliflower. You have to cut the cauliflower into small pieces and place it in the steamer in a pot of water. You have to then transfer this to a bigger bowl to be tossed with ham. Then half of this mixture of ham and cauliflower which is about three cups is kept in a bowl and kept covered and warm. The baby is served his food while the leftover portion is kept in a closed air-tight container for another meal. No dillydallying now, the baby laps up the food happily and smiles in adoration!
The other food is called diced ham, cauliflower and spaghetti. This would serve 2 and the preparation time is five minutes. The cook time is fifteen minutes. A side dish suggestion would be green salad with vinaigrette. You need to have three cups of ham and cauliflower mixture, a teaspoon of olive oil, with a small onion diced and peeled, spaghetti, made of whole wheat, half a cup of reduced fat, chopped fresh basil, three fourth of a cup, 4 teaspoons of cheese, grated and pepper and salt for taste.
The olive oil is heated in a non stick pan over a medium heat. The onion is sauté for five minutes. The ham and cauliflower mixture is cooked for two minutes and heated. A large bowl of water is boiled and sphagetti is cooked. Then the sphagetti is drained to the pot and the ham, cauliflower mixture, basil, cheese and pepper and salt is added. The food is then served in two bowls and topped with grated cheese. Two cups of this dish gives 590 calories, 22 per cent fat, sixty per cent carbohydrate, 18 per cent protein, vitamin c, foliate and fiber.
