Thanks Mel. Might give the fritters a go! Good luck with your client.
Veronica, like Mel said, Avaleigh should be fine with finger foods, just keep an eye on her and if she starts gagging, give her a few seconds to get it up herself before you panic. it's been my experience too that they are pretty good at handling things themselves. As for the food:
*Cauliflower, broccoli, peas and squash - I steam them in the microwave. Some I leave in pieces for her to chew on, the rest I mash up or puree.
*spinach - I have previously bought baby spinach and pureed it. But now I cheat and buy the bag of Heinz frozen spinach blocks - just the right size for adding in with cubes. Though I would probably give her baby spinach cooked whole now.
*zucchini - i grate it then steam it in microwave.
I poach meat in diluted good quality stock and water. Bring it the boil then simmer for about 20mins for whole chicken breasts or thighs. You can add vegies too and then they get nice and soft to serve as finger food.
I usually spoon feed her a bowl of whatever cubes first then give the finger food after so it doesn't matter if not much gets in.
Megan you could definitely freeze it. As for cooking, I would probably dry fry or use a little olive oil. How would you make it for youself?
