baby bistro (homemade baby food) - salmon & veggies

we are soooo lucky to live next door to my parents, especially because my mom cooks dinner for us everyday :)  

but i do the cooking for the littles!  i've been having soooo much fun cooking homemade baby food and feeding solids to the little tiramisu.  she's finally at the point where she enjoys eating and chewing and it's soooo cute to see her get all excited when i put her in her high chair.  

this week, her four upper teeth fully cut through her gums.  and now she has 6 cute, little chompers!  i think i'll give her some beef jerky tomorrow.  kidding.

i made a salmon dish for her the other day and so far, she loooves it!  and the omega-3s are great for her developing brain!

Ingredients:

1 ea salmon fillet

2 ea small bunches of broccoli

1 ea sweet potato

2 ea carrots

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 cup homemade chicken stock (i'll blog about this another day)

Step 1 - Put a few spoons of water in a pan and heat.  Add salmon and cover. Eventually the water will disappear and the salmon will start browning (see photo in step 3).  Flip and brown other side.

Step 2 - Steam broccoli, sweet potato and carrots until soft.

Step 3 - Once the salmon has browned on both sides, remove from heat.  

Step 4 - Carefully check the salmon for bones and flake meat into small pieces.  

Step 5 - Place salmon, veggies, cheddar cheese, and chicken stock in Vitamix and puree to desired consistency.  

Step 6 - Portion into mini cube trays and freeze.  I use these silicon trays.
