Hi Ladies - am on the hunt for a few items which I want to incorporate when cooking DD's food this week:

Baby Stock cubes (checked Organic Cafe today and nothing)
Flaxseed oil
Quinoa (inspired by GreenQueen's thread)
Spelt or Spelt Biscuits ( I bought spelt when I was in London and DD loved the biscuits, but can't seem to find them on the shelves here)

TIA

Seriously buy a slowcooker! best money ever spent, they're not expensive. I use mine to make rice pudding, custard, slow cooked meat (with stock as a byproduct without having to do anything:)), curries, even soups. Weeks menu sounds yum!

I make my own stock, for us and for DD. The Annabel Karmel book says not to use previously frozen stock in baby food you intend to freeze after cooking. I've stuck to this, but does everyone else do this, and can anyone tell me why this would be? I usually just use veg stock. Its because for babies it might lose some of its properties (the good stuff) once frozen, but seriously , for adults, restaurants make large batches of stock and freeze everything.... a book always have to make sure there are no liability issues.... Now, as a personal choice I would prefer to give my baby homemade stock (so I know whats in it) than anything bought from a store... I am proud to say my twins had not even ONE cold until the age of 1.5. Hubby wanted me to write a book..( I am culinary trained) It will be just fine once thawed, Just don't re-freeze.... the trick to use small portions of frozen stock is - freeze it in ice cube trays :)

I've stuck to this, but does everyone else do this, and can anyone tell me why this would be? I usually just use veg stock. Meat stock grows bacteria quite easily but TBH so long as whatever you cook is heated to a high temp you would most likely be fine refreezing, I'm pretty sure I would have done this at some point. I usually dump rice/millet straight into the fresh stock and vegies left over from whatever meat I've cooked, cook it a bit longer to make a stodgy lazy risotto ;) and then freeze it. That way so there is no need to thaw and cook (and less dishes) :).

Not sure what "baby stock cubes" are...would they be like beef bouillon cubes? Saw Quinoa and Flax oil at Spinneys in Motor City. Heinz makes Stock Cubes which you can use when making baby food. Used them in the UK - no salt, no preservatives, no junk :) Which isle did you see the Flaxseed Oil MomOfTwins? I normally by Flaxseed at Spinney's and mill it down for DH and myself but not sure if I can use the milled seed for DD's cooking?! If I'm not mistaken I saw it in the organic section on that side wall next to the fruit/salad station- but I was also looking for olive oil that day so look there too (sorry, I have the memory of a doorknob...)

If you have a slow cooker you can easily make and freeze your own stock too, slow cook meat on the bone with a few vegies, onions etc, (lamb shanks or chicken thighs are best) remove the meat, leave the bones and slow cook a few more hours then let cool to remove fat. Close the kitchen door though so you don't stink out your house. :), coming down in the morning to a lamby lounge isn't that nice. What's on the menu for your LO this week? mine is getting bored with his usual fare, need some new ideas. To make beef stock, do this ( culinary school recipe) Buy raw bones, put them on a tray to roast on medium heat for about an hour or until they are brown Remove the bones and on the same tray add roughly chopped carrots, celery and onions, back into the oven until caramelized - stir eventually Put everything into a large pot and let it simmer in low heat for about 2 hours( add water to the bottom of the pan and make sure all the brown bits go into the stock!) Add a bouquet Garni to the stock, will give it some flavor ( you can find it at spinneys in the spice section - its a little sachet with spices in it) - remove and discard at the end. Skim the white foam that will rise to the top as it boils and discard it (use a ladle and skim around the sides) Strain the broth and you can use it immediately or freeze it for 3 months. <em>edited by MomOfTwins on 02/08/2011</em>
