Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
I’ve been making chicken stock for Hannah’s chicken porridge for a while now. The purpose of using chicken stock is to enhance the flavour of the porridge. Instead of using whole chicken ($$$), I use chicken bones (around $1++ per
This healthy dish is really creamy. Hannah’s first experience with it was very positive. Be warned, your baby might get addicted as it is so smooth! Hee hee :P Here’s the recipe: Ingredients (serves 1 chinese bowl) Silken organic tofu
