It was a hard time trying to feed him 'plain' porridge ie no salt or seasoning added. I have to add in grounded ikan billies, other vegetables like carrots, potatoes, broccoli, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, to make the porridge as tasty as possible. I am lucky that both my kids love vegetables. I have seen kids who doesn't eat vegetables at all.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-42774350045103424642010-07-21T01:26:42.063+08:002010-07-21T01:26:42.063+08:00Hi HHB,
I think that it is when one becomes a mot...Hi HHB,<br /><br />I think that it is when one becomes a mother that one realises how much of a challenge it can be to balance nutrition and taste when it comes to the children.<br /><br />My girl turned 1 year of age in June 2010 and with her increasing her intake of solids, I do wonder from time to time whether what I am feeding her is appropriate.<br /><br />It is all well and fine to say that we should cut down on white flour. The reality is that children do not always consume what we feel that they should consume.<br /><br />When I started cooking porridge for my girl months ago, I used white rice. When a friend advised me to switch to brown rice, I promptly bought organic brown rice to cook her porridge. Guess what? She refused to partake of her brown rice porridge for days. I have since switched back to white rice and I am slowly substituting a bit of the white rice with brown rice.<br /><br />I feel that what is more important is that the meal is a balanced one. I do not think that it is so catastrophic to consume white flour. It is all about balance - are there veggies in the diet? Is there protein? Vitamins?<br /><br />For every view that someone takes about something, there will always be another person with an opposing view.<br /><br />Thumbs up for your wonderful blog and your useful tips and advice.<br /><br />Cheers.PEBBLES - the Lord's belovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625950854854550561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-20286154715061808412010-07-13T16:25:09.865+08:002010-07-13T16:25:09.865+08:00Big hugs HHB

I am a SAHM and one of the grouses of being SAHM is meal planning. Most pple expect home-cooked food to be healthy, free of gluten, MSG, artificial flavouring etc. Frankly speaking, it is inevitable that we make use of these "unhealthy" ingredients to entice our kids to eat our cookings. I doubt my kids will gladly finish up the wholemeal sandwich if I do not add in ham or bacon? Like you, I believe I had tried my best to cut down "unhealthy" stuff by reducing the salt/sugar content, opting for healthier yoghurt instead of cream milk, using fresh ingredients as much as possible. At the end of the day, the joy of cooking is to have yr family/loved ones to savour and like yr dishes.<br /><br />LPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-63133669831152747352010-07-13T00:45:43.141+08:002010-07-13T00:45:43.141+08:00I think, in life, moderation is the best.

Once in a while a little fried food here, a little sugar there doesn't kill. <br /><br />I feel sorry for that person's child (if he or she has any) cos our life on this earth is so short. A little indulgence here and there makes our already hard life a little bearable and liveable, don't u think? <br /><br />Have a good day!<br /><br />SummerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-39575859798308600702010-07-10T21:28:55.663+08:002010-07-10T21:28:55.663+08:00HHB, as for my case, I've yet to receive degra...HHB, as for my case, I've yet to receive degrading comments. BUT, I've been constantly spammed with irrelevant comments. I suppose you've been receiving comments of this sort!? You know, even with spams like these are intolerable! It's good enough of not requiring visitors/readers to enter codes of some sort in order to leave a comment. Still, these irresponsible individuals are abusing our good intention! I just feel so bad. Every day coming home from work, my mailbox is flooded with spams, some of them with virus! Wasting my time clearing up trash like this. *Sob*<br /><br />On the other hand, I think all bloggers would agree that the more the comments we receive, the cheerier we get, especially with those comments in which I can TRULY sense that they've read whatever (nonsense) I've written. (I'm long-winded in my writing, I've gotta admit. And, I respect the fact that each blogger sees blogging in a different light; hence, unique styles.) You're so right that it is the words from our readers that keep us blogging. I can totally empathize with on that as I'm NOT earning, monetarily, from blogging. I'm blogging to reach out to people of the same interests. We've noticed that blogging has made us friends from across the world. If it weren't for blogging, I wouldn't even have come to know of your existence, and vice versa.<br /><br />When I think back, it was all you bloggers who have taught me so much about cooking and baking, about food photography and styling, about how not to be selfish. Remember I've already started emailing you about my Le Cordon Bleu dilemma long before I started blogging? Way back then, as I was picking up knowledge on baking and cooking, I chose to ONLY read and not leave any comment. Come to think of it, I think it was VERY selfish of me to do so. That was why I chose to blog to break the silence.<br /><br />Dear HHB, I know blogging can be tiring, especially when we choose to REALLY write. (On average, it takes me 2~3 days to put a post up. I try to avoid typos in my write-up due to the nature of my job now; otherwise, 我會覺得很丟臉啊!我本身就是靠寫稿為生的.絕對不能出錯!其實,那裡的確是有種壓力,不過是種正面的推動力!) You do write, that's why I can feel emotionally connected to you even though we've never met each other. And, that's what that keeps me coming back to reading your words because I learn something every time, not just about cooking or baking, but also emotionally as I age. I'm touched by your words! You're a SUPERB writer! (Growing outta adolescence doesn't mean I'm stuck. Haha!)<br /><br />HHB, 不用擔心!我實在欠您們博客太多了。若不是你們,我看也不會有今天的佩琳。算了吧。就當他們小人發脾氣,當這些傢伙莫視他人的文化。他們是不了解或完全不知道其他人的習俗和飲食習慣,所以才留下了這樣傷人的話。<br /><br />我這個老讀者會永遠撐妳!不要氣餒!加油!Pei-Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822262778417710649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-19263985618460422212010-07-10T19:42:11.925+08:002010-07-10T19:42:11.925+08:00Wow, what a thoughtless post by an ignorant fool w...Wow, what a thoughtless post by an ignorant fool who didn't even have the guts to identify himself/herself or perhaps it is just plain itself!!<br /><br />HHB you go on doing what you have been doing and that is testing and posting great recipes, and running a great blog.

It took me a long time to return to writing. The internet is a free world and 'anonymous' can choose to go away or disagree agreeably. <br /><br />Whatever the case, yours is the first blog I check everyday for new ideas, because I am ,er, experimental and not a superb cook. <br /> <br />Carbohydrates has always been the Asian diet. Whatever food types, moderation is key to good health. My girl helped me with my most recent baking and licking the leftover cream in the mixing bowl, she commented she's the most fortunate girl in the world because non of her friends can do this because their mothers don't cook.<br /><br />Like mine,your kids are lucky.

Can't help this time :)<br /><br />I know it's easy said than to actually do it (ignore those stupid comment). But I honestly feel regardless what you feed your kid with, as long as it's cook with motherly love(priceless). it's definitely way better than any food regardless which top chef cooked it. Plus you cook it from scratch! How many family actually bake their own bread when it can be easily access just by popping into the supermarket? I still can't master the skill of bread making!!! I find it so hard!!!<br /><br />Keep up the good job!

You've made so much effort, and all this while juggling with all the other things in life.

I would like to tell those people, if you intend to write a nasty note, at least have the decency to leave your name ... oh wait ... they are not decent people. They are one side minded lunatics! Well, that's says it all!<br /><br />I, like many of your FANS do enjoy your blog. We are smart enough to know we can't shield our children from all things/foods. Instead, we teach them to eat smartly.<br /><br />By exposing them to "all" foods we are teaching them also. One day, I saw my son talking to one of his friends.<br /><br />The other boy obviously had never had candy. He was soo excited about it, even grabbing more after tasting it. He gave one to my son, telling him how tasty it was.<br /><br />Instead my son turned to him and said, "It's okay, I prefer the one my mommy gets for me. I'm going to save my tummy for that".<br /><br />So, keep doing what you're doing!

I'm believe majority of the mothers who cook have a big challenge of feeding their child with right food. Most of the time, nutrition food is less tastier. It's also a big challenge to cook for a small family! We can't totally ban junk food for children. Otherwise they will become very hungry of it when they are outside, like in school. At home, at least we use better quality ingredients, like corn oil or trans fat free margarine, and less chemical, less salt and often even preservative free. So ignore that ignorance message and have a nice weekend!
