How To Make Vegetable Stock - A Healthy Alternative To Commercial Broth For Baby. This page shows you how to make vegetable stock (or broth) for your baby. Store-bought stocks or broths are often high in salt - making them unsuitable for use in baby food (find out more about the dangers of adding salt to baby food). This simple vegetable broth recipe is still full of flavour, but is a much healthier alternative for your little one. We recommend preparing stock or broth for your baby in large quantities, then storing it for future use. Stock freezes well - and our tip is to freeze it in ice cube trays, then transfer it to freezer bags once it's solid. As well as using your homemade vegetable broth as a basis for your main recipes, try using it instead of water to cook bland foods such as rice for your baby - it gives them a little boost of flavour!

I wasn't kidding last week when I said that calzones are simultaneously one of the handiest and most delicious ways to to use up leftover bits and pieces from the fridge and pantry. Judging by your responses, I'm not alone! From one calzone fan to another, what favorite fillings have you discovered? Following the basic ratio of 2-3 cups of cooked veggies, leftover meat, cheese, and sauce for a batch of six calzones, these are some of the fillings that have gotten a thumbs up in my house: • Traditional Spinach-Ricotta - Sautéed onion and garlic, wilted spinach, mozzarella, ricotta, and tomato sauce.
If you eat meat, a handful of diced sausage is never amiss in this one. • Pulled Pork or Chicken - A good scoop of the pulled meat along with a little extra barbecue sauce and a sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese. • Mixed Grill - Leftover grilled steak chopped up with leftover grilled veggies and a handful of whatever cheese is in the fridge.

The other night, I had tossed zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower into the food processor to make Crock Pot Lasagna and accidentally left it running while I ran to answer the phone. The next thing I knew, the veggies that were supposed to be roughly chopped were now chopped so fine that they wouldn't work in the dish. Argh. As you know, nothing bugs me more than wasting food, so I stashed the overworked veggies in the fridge and chopped up a new batch for the lasagna. The next day those finely chopped veggies were staring me in the face when I opened the fridge and I swear I heard them say, "well?
" Whenever you have leftover vegetables (or flat out botch a recipe like I did), the addition of an egg, flour and some herbs can turn a mistake into one of the most delicious and happiest of accidents.
