Moving on to Corn

Babies are not suppose to eat corn till they are 18 months, but I wanted to try it out, since the soup stock I prepare already include corn.

For today, I tried making a "stew" for her. I had the leftover corn cobs from the last time I made the soup stock (frozen), so I thought that I might as well give it a try.

I cut off the corn, threw them into my blender and add some water and blitz it. Wanted to sieve it too, but couldn't find my metal sieve, so I gave up since my puny plastic sieve would probably give way if I tried to extract the corn "juice" from the pulp.

To my 1 cup of soup stock with a piece of frozen carrot, I added

50g of mince pork (chicken if you prefer)

1 finely chopped potato (shred it if you prefer) (the powdery type)

the corn "juice"

I also added a tablespoon of rice to thicken it.

Verdict? She loves it! She was happily eating it with her own spoon too (she's trying to self feed now) so I'm quite happy that my efforts didn't go to waste.

What I do with leftover Chicken breasts meat? Shred it, add lemon, pepper, finely chopped onions and japanese mayonnaise. Yummy sandwich spread!
