S11-W6 “The Recipe of the Day: Banana Porridge
Greetings great chefs!!
It is my pleasure to join this contest and I want to show you my baby recipe for today. I know some African mothers are used to buying canned foods for their baby but I don't like that idea because of some preservatives used also, we have a lot of natural foods arround us that we can make use of to feed our children, 90% of diseases in children and early age of life is caused as the result of food they consumed.
For example;
Eye problems looking arround us today, some children uses reading glasses it might not necessarily be genetic but some are caused from food they consumed.
Cancer; the rate of it in children is high too.
Kidney and liver issues
GIT issues
Diarrhea etc.
Therefore natural foods are really nutritious and delicious to be consumed than canned foods. Well, it all depends on their choices but personally I like nature so I like exploring it and having a taste of it.
I want to share one of my baby food recipe with you today, we are team natural. Today I prepared porridge banana for her.

It really takes time preparing this step by step and then blended this things differently, meanwhile I added a pinch of pepper, it was really small so insignificant. I also used my the fish stock in cooking this food, also note I used blended onion, crayfish and tomatoes to steam the fish.

Hope you enjoyed this recipe, my baby likes it so much, I don't know where she got the inspiration of this meal. Well, I blended everything because she is 6 months almost 7 so her food needs to be smooth so she can swallow anything.
There are other recipe of her food I prepare because I'm training her to eat anything healthy I will be sharing her cereals recipe here so mothers can also learn.
I will like to invite @udyliciouz @skinnyblack and @okere-blessing to take part in this contest.
