Bean Pot Homemade Baby Food Recipes

It's simple to prepare vegetables & fruits for your baby in the microwave using your Magic Bean Pot that you might never buy store-bought again.  You have the assurance of knowing exactly what is in your baby's food, & it is certainly the way to retain as many vitamins & nutrients as possible, since so little liquid is required & the cooking time is so short.

One important tip:  when reheating the baby food, remember to just warm it, don't cook until boiling hot.  Stirring & testing are important.  Think in terms of seconds in the microwave, not minutes.  Store baby fruits & vegetables in small covered jars in the refrigerator.  Reheat in custard cups on Medium, stirring once or twice, 30 - 60 seconds.

Make a large batch and put in ice cube trays and freeze. Then empty the tray into a freezer bag, remove the air and store. This makes it super easy to get just the right amount. And, even frozen it only takes a couple of seconds to heat in the microwave. You can freeze for about a month.

Puree & strain vegetables & fruit with liquid as needed, depending on the age of the baby.  Younger babies need a smoother, more liquid texture.  If in doubt, consult with your pediatrician.

    Crispy Cheddar Chicken

    2 lbs chicken tenders or 4 large chicken breasts
    2 sleeves Ritz crackers
    1/4 teaspoons salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    1/2 cup whole milk
    3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
    1 teaspoon dried parsley

    Sauce:
    1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup
    2 tablespoon sour cream
    2 tablespoon butter

    Crush crackers. If using chicken breasts and not tenders, cut each chicken breast into 3 large pieces. Pour the milk, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small pans. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture around to combine. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and then the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Then press the cheesy coated chicken into the cracker crumbs and press it in. 

    Spray a 9×13 Celebrating Home Casserole with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the pan. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken. Cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the tin foil, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.

    In a medium sized sauce pan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk. Stir it over medium high heat until the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.
