Growing-Up Food

31-OCT-2006:
We tried one of these pre-packed baby food.





It tasted pretty good - like bolognese. The smaller tray contained rice - soft but lumpy - there were actually grains of rice, not porridge. The bigger tray contained beef, carrots, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes and some other vegetables. Dominic absolutely loved it and finished the whole box. This is almost equivalent to the adult version of can food, but I read somewhere that pre-prepared on-the-shelf baby food is actually more nutritious than home-cooked food because it is normally fortified with additional vitamins and minerals. And look - it's even organic.
In fact, this growing-up food inspired me to put more effort and creativity into preparing Dominic's meals. I used to just steam or boil everything, put them into the blender, mix and give them to Dominic. Now I cook actual dishes such as Tasty Chicken Stew, Shepherd's Pie and Beancurd Cup and serve them with rice or porridge. I can see that he enjoys his food a lot more these days.
