Ok two questions: does anyone have a good recipe, or a simple idea as to how to

cook bak

choy? My son loved it at a Korean restaurant so I bought some but now have no

clue how to

cook it. Also, are there any tips on how to get a 10 month old to like tofu, or

at least a

healthy substitute?

Bok Choy is so easy to prepare. I usually just cut it in large chunks and

braise it in a little veggie stock with soy sauce, garlic and a little ginger.

As for the 10 month old and tofu: my grandson is 2 years old right now, but

at that age, I just mashed up banana or mango (or both) with soft or medium

tofu and I called it banana or mango pudding. He still gets that when he comes

to visit and he loves it. Even though his Mommy and Dad eat meat, he just

doesn't like it. I have no problem with that. My only thing is that I don't like

adding sugar to his food. I have found that when you freeze an older banana and

then thaw it, it almost has like a syrup in it and I like to use that for both

him and myself.

Hi Liz and happy saturday!

My little one ate tofu from about 11 months on and to this day tofu bites are

one of her

favorite snacks. When she was your sons age I blended it with all kinds of

fruit (banana was

her first) using either a masher or hand blender. This tastes like a yummy

dessert. I also

made tofu salad by combining tofu, avocado and a little bit of braggs. Adding

soft tofu to

fruit smoothies is also a great way to boost morning protien intake and the

taste is so soft

that one is barely aware of its presence. As for the bok choy, stir frying is

always a great

option and you could incorporate tofu into that meal as well. Stir fries are

super finger food

for little hands! If your son likes salad, grated bokchoy works with any green

from chard to

spinach. I hope this helps!
