26/5/2015 Happy Tuesday

Last Sunday I was very happy that I had purchased a cook book that is for 8 years meals for little ones which consists more than 4000 easy made recipes. The recipes are good for baby's overall health and  brain development. Furthermore, it could help me more easier in planning the daily foods for my 22mo lo.

Today i followed one of the recipes but changing the method of cooking; from frying to baking to avoid oily.

Breakfast : Banana cake, grapes, baked potato balls, fresh milk

Lunch and dinner : Fried Udon with mix vegetables & Steam apple juice

Teatime : Baked potato balls in sticks & Banana yogurt

Banana cake was baked yesterday, it is also mummy's breakfast today...very yummy and the sweetness is just nice. Luckily I had reduced 50% of the sugar as per recipe.
