Pasta Baby Recipes and Rice Baby Recipes for 10 Months Babies

Advanced Pasta and Rice Baby Food Meals & Baby’s Food Recipes the Whole Family Will Enjoy.

Baby Food Vegetarian Recipes, Pasta and Baby Rice recipes – OH MY. Just the potential for exciting baby with the fun shapes of pasta are intriguing. Try some new baby food meals and serve some yummy pasta, rice and more adventurous food combinations for “baby food”. We do keep stating it but it’s true – Baby Food doesn’t always have to be fruit purées or purées of veggies and meats. We are posting Yummy Recipes that may be used for Baby “Meals”. These “baby” recipes are recipes that the whole family may enjoy and eat.

These pasta, rice and more baby meal recipes should all be suitable for those non-allergic babies who are 10 months of age and over. Please note however that some ingredients may not be suitable for a baby under 12 months of age.

ALWAYS consult your pediatrician before introducing new “older” foods that you may be unsure of. Use your discretion to substitute ingredients in the Baby Meal Recipes as needed. We have included our own substitutions when we were making baby food for our “older” babies”

Items with a ** beside the recipe ingredient indicates the ingredient may need substituting.

Mango Avocado Salsa

homemade mango and salsa for older babies

Ingredients:

Cooked white or brown rice, enough for the family
Fish fillets (any mild white fish like tilapia or halibut), enough for your family
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
1 mango, pitted and cut into ¼” cubes
1 avocado, pitted and cut into ¼” cubes
Red onion, finely diced, to taste (I use about ¼ of a small onion)
Cilantro, cleaned & chopped, to taste
Juice of 1-2 limes, to taste
Honey, to taste (optional; do not use if feeding a baby 12 months or younger)

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare fish filets: brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, pan sauté or grill. Set aside (along with cooked rice).

Step 2: In the meantime, prepare mango avocado salsa: in a medium bowl, toss mango, avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice and a very small drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; taste. If the mango isn’t perfectly sweet, you may want to mix in a drizzle of honey. You don’t want the salsa to have an overall sweet flavor, but you want a nice balance between sweet, salty and tangy (from the lime). Combine well and, if you have the time, allow the salsa to sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.

Step 3: Plate the fish over a bed of rice and top with salsa. Flake the fish for small kids. Pulse the whole combination (rice, fish, mango and all) to an age appropriate consistency for infant eaters. Then everyone enjoy!
