Jennifer Byron — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 15:14:40 +0000

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make very basic (but super tasty) salmon cakes. This is a very easy recipe, inexpensive, quick, and healthy! You can’t beat that!!! Ingredients: 15.75 oz. can pink salmon (drained) 2 eggs, well beaten 2 tablespoons dried chopped onion 1/3 inner packet of saltine crackers, finely crushed olive oil for sauteing Beat the 2 eggs well. Add the drained salmon, 2 tablespoons dried chopped onion and the 1/3 inner packet of finely crushed saltine crackers. (You can crush the crackers by placing them in a zip-lock plastic bag, closing it, and going over the bag with a rolling pin, until all crackers are well crushed.) Stir these ingredients together until they are completely mixed. Put about 1 tablespoon of olive or other cooking oil into a skillet on the stove. Bring it to medium heat, and start adding the salmon cakes. You may drop them by spoonfuls, and flatten them out (quickest), or use your hands to form them into circular patties. Keep the heat at a level where the patties are frying well. Turn the patties as they become golden on the bottom side. It will only take about 5 minutes (or less) per side. Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a tray with paper toweling to absorb any extra oil. Then, place the salmon cakes on a serving dish. Serve while hot! This is one of those recipes you’ve just got to have in your collection!

What I Find Out About Tropical Fruits For Kids

Jennifer Byron — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:07:31 +0000

We’ve been live in Kuala Lumpur for about a year and a half now, and I had that fear of feeding my baby-girl any tropical fruits. I just didn’t know, should I or shouldn’t I? Well I found out that most of them are totally safe and nutritious and do not invite any reactions with most babies (check your little one though with a specialist, for example Kiwi presents some allergic reactions with a few kids). My daughter loves all the tropical fruits, especially Papaya. Usually she enjoys it just cut up in pieces. I was surprised that papaya started beating the banana as her most loved fruit!
Generally it is safe to feed tropical fruits at about 8months. Just watch for any reactions to them and as explained before, introduce the types one by one, separating them by a few days.
Papaya is rich in vitamins C, A, E, folate (natural folic acid) and potassium. It is also a good source of fiber.
Here some more tropical fruits nutrition information:Passion fruit: I gave it to my daughter at 8 months. Just scoop it out and feed with a spoon, or mix into smoothies and purees. Passion fruit is a good source of vitamins C and B. Great source of fiber and Iron too. This fruit has a fantastic aroma, I’m sure your kids will enjoy it.
Pineapple: It’s like all citrus fruits, so postpone it till your baby’s first birthday. Cut into small pieces or use in smoothies or meats recipes. It’s a great source of vitamin C, B1, B6, copper and fiber. It has good anti-inflammatory effects.
Mango: If your baby is younger than 8 months, you may want to steam it gently. Otherwise this fruit is great as it is or mixed with other fruit purees and smoothies. Mango is great source of vitamins C and A.
Star fruit: This fruit is a great source of Potassium, Vitamins C and A. It’s also a good source of fiber and Calcium. You can use it in smoothies, or just cut up to pieces in fruit salads. Offer this fruit at 8 months or so.
Durian: Here in Asia it’s a most beloved fruit, they called “King of fruits”. Even though it has a strong and peculiar smell, Some people and most Asians enjoy them so much. I’m not brave enough, but I heard people say it tastes heavenly. Here, little kids enjoys this fruit too. This fruit is a good source of fiber, thiamin, Vitamins B6 and C.
Jack fruit: It’s pretty much like Durian, but is far less smelly. I found this fruit tasty, and it is said to have healing qualities. For example it is prescribed by those-in-the-know twice a day for about four days to help treat Urinary Tract Infections. Boiling the root of jack fruit and drinking the tea is a very well known treatment here for controlling Asthma. Also it helps with reducing fever and diarrhea. Besides that it is full of Vitamin C and potassium. Just like Durian, kids enjoy this fruit from an early age.
Kiwi fruit: Researches showed that Kiwi can cause allergic reaction. If your kid is allergic to peanut butter, milk or eggs, then there is a risk to have allergic reactions to Kiwi. Otherwise Kiwi can be introduced at 8 to 10 months. Kiwi fruit is reach in fiber, vitamin C, potassium and folate.
Lychee: Very tasty, sweet and juicy ) It’s Ok to introduce them at 10 months. This fruit is high in vitamin C and Copper. It nice to eat raw as it is, or if you offering this fruit for the first time, you may wish to steam it gently.
Mangosteen: It’s purple in color with “seeds” inside it. The flesh is white. The fruit is incredible! It’s rich in Vitamins B1, B2, and B6, calcium, potassium and iron. It also packed with antioxidants. Consumption of this juice improves your health overall, decreases pain, improves your immune system and has anti-inflammatory powers. It will be fun for your baby to try something new. You can introduce it at 8 months, as it is, or extract juice out of it.
Persimmon: My all time favorite. ) We cultivate them in my home country too. Make sure it is ripe, otherwise they are not tasty and quite tangy. There are two types: one is mushy when ripe, other is just like an apple, firm when ripe. Persimmon is packed with vitamin C and contains potassium, iron and calcium. The good age for introduction is 10 months.
Dragon fruit: Known as pitahaya, this fruit is high in antioxidants. Good source of Calcium, phosphorus and vitamin C. Also they are high in fiber. Some moms here, start giving this fruit as early as 6 months. I guess it’s safe:o) You can give to your baby as it is. Just cut in half and scoop the flesh out. They are two types, the red flesh one is the most delicious.
