HEALTHY DINNER FOR WEEK : MARCH 2024

Image
How are you ? April is started already and how life is going? Steady or with full speed? Mine is going with full speed. Mini vacation are over and school has started. Again we are busy with school, study little bit and toddlers play time. Healthy dinners are the most important part of our Indian houses. We Indian families have everyday dinner together because it is the time where we meet each other and we talk with each other.  This was the scene of our childhood lives. Many of you agreed with it.  But,  In my house dinner time is where we strictly off the screens whether it is big or small screens and talk over the meal.  Dinner is the special time where we all have meals with discussion and laughter so we did it mindfully.  A healthy dinner has always been my goal. Earlier there was a house help when my baby was small but now we don't have any help. So the goal is to cook food at home and have a meal with the family, which is sometimes very difficult. But with meal planning I ma

BLW : Pink Paratha (9 months +)

Paratha is always my family's favourite breakfast though I made it once in 15 days. I don't want them to get bored by eating the same food again and again. But this paratha can be served to adults too. Increase the quantity of spices and add whatever you want to add to enhance the taste like green chilli, chat masala, red chilli powder etc.  PC : Pixbay  Pink Paratha means it is made up of beetroot. To enhance the taste I also added carrot because carrot is my babies favourite food. This is my trick - whenever I want to introduce any new food I try to mix them with their favourite food. Chances are they will eat the food. 😇 These recipes can be given to 9 months onwards. Skip salt and red chilli powder for baby below one year old. I  am using salt and basic masala for my toddler food because they also eat from our plates. Use a pinch of black pepper and garam masala it enhances the taste and this is the way you introduce masala to your baby.  BEET CARROT PARATHA 🥕🌰 Ingredien

BLW RECIPE : TOMATO CHEESE OMLETTE (8 MONTHS +) Tomato Omlette is the simplest form of pancake which every Marathi person's favourite. We can have it anytime in the morning breakfast or in a lunch as a side dish with plain dal rice or in the evening snacks with ginger tea or it can be in a dinner as a wrap in roti. Yummm.

9 to 12 Months Baby Food Chart

Having a baby in 9 to 12 Months is exciting. The way he holds tiny things in his hand and puts them in his mouth melts mom's  heart. Then our food journey starts. We wanted to give variety of foods. After scrolling reels on baby food I am also tempted to make the same food and feed my babies. But you all know what works for others does not necessarily work with us. Especially our Indian baby takes a long time to eat the food compared to the screen baby 😉 Right? I have an older daughter who is 10 years old. I have gone through the solid phase, picky eating phase and all. I have gone through the mommy- guilt too. So this time I am not getting any stress.  Sometimes we flow with the social media unknowingly and sometimes withdraw, did this happen with you? I took some ideas but not implemented yet 😂 rather than sticking with mom instinct and our traditional food. Yes! I didn't start any liquid food rather than Ragi Malt. Apart from that I stick with the mushy structure of food
