This title might strike you as oxymoronic but there is such a thing as "fast food" for baby. I am not referring to the salty greasy kind of fast food that comes in a white paper bag; we're not naming names here. Rather, I am talking about the Baby Flava version of fast food, which comes out of the kitchen in a flash and is full of important nutrients!There are always certain staples that are kept in every home's kitchen. In mine (among other things) you will always find whole wheat bread, hummus, and a ripe avocado or two. If you anticipate needing fast food at least a few times a week, you may want to consider keeping a similar stock of baby-friendly staples in your own kitchen.
Last night I was very grateful for my stock of goodies. Daddie Flava and I both got home from work late. The weather was terrible and BF had a double ear infection. Needless to say we were all exhausted and starving. I needed food fast and the baby needed food faster. I pulled out a few goodies and I whipped up a delicious fast food meal BF couldn't get enough of. Here are all of the details ....
Take a slice of whole wheat bread and trim off the crust. Slather the bread with a decent helping of hummus. My hummus of choice for the baby is organic, low in sodium and garlic, and mixed with roasted red peppers (another BF staple!) On top of the hummus place a thin layer of sliced avocado. Cut the bread into baby sized bites and let your little one go to town. BF puts these baby sandwiches into her mouth so quickly I can only put a few in front of her at a time. The best part of the recipe -- you can make yourself a snack at the same time with the crusts!
Yum.
