Hi,
Can't you guess? New baby!
I need recipes that i can both cook and eat one handed. Trying to eat steak and BF at the same time is turning out to be a bit of a challenge.
Does any one have any tips to cooking in this situation as well?
Ahhh yes, remember those days, boob hanging out at the dinner table whilst trying to eat your food - no shame is there ??
I would suggest 'bite size' portions - cut your potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potato into bite size cubes.
Quiche is good with one hand too - you can cut it with your fork as well as eat from the fork. There are loads of quiche recipies on BB - just do a search.
Avoid spaghetti.... buy the penne or spiral pasta - easy to stab with your fork !Meatloaf is good one handed too.
Im a vege, so cant really think of any meat dishes....
First thing that came to mind was omlette.
You can whisk up some eggs in a pan and cut a few slices of cheese and chuck a slice of ham etc into the pan all with one hand - it`ll still taste the same even if you havent grated it... and omlette can be eaten with one hand too.
The eggs are good for your energy too - which you really need!
Could be a good lunch option in these early weeks.
Also, fruit smoothies can be made in advance and put in the fridge. A good thick one with 1 -2 banana, apple , yogart/milk/juice and all that will give you a bit of a good energy. Dont make smoothies more than a day in advance though, or they loose too much of the nutrients and wont taste as good. You can whizz these up in a couple of mins (or you DP could before they head off to work), stick it in the fridge (with a lid) and then grab it to drink while feeding or whatever later in the morning....
