Cooking for Shuen
As much as I can, I will cook for Shuen without using any additives. So usually, during the weekends she will have 2 meals a day. Her first meal is barley porridge with fruits. Its really yummy! Serious!
I grind the barley to finer bits, then add pears or apples and dump them all in the slow cooker for about 3 hours or so. The pears and apples will be soft and could be mashed up when its time for her to eat.
I do this every weekend morning.
For her dinner, I will usually boil soup (no salt) for the whole family, so I just take the lazy way out. Her porridge will be the soup base that we cook every week - and some veggies - few leaves. Heh. Wash one spoon of rice. Dump in slow cooker. Take some soup. Dump in slow cooker. Let it cook till evening. About one hour before she is due to eat - dump some finely minced vege. Cook.
Some mummies I know who go all out to give their babies organic food stuff (friggin expensive) and cook all kinds of yummy stuff - avacados, sweet potatoes, steam fish, steam etc. I'm like.. err okay... I just dump whatever I can find in the slow cooker. Noone wants to eat avacadoes or sweet potatoes in the house.. so its no use if I buy one packet (they do sell it like that.. humpf) and then the rest are wasted.
