Raw Tofu

[Guest guest]

My son loved eating raw tofu - there's no need to cook it, it's a matter of

preference. Now he likes to have it scrambled for breakfast (he puts ketchup on

it) and I stick it in lots of our meals (throw some in tomato sauce for pasta,

in soup, cous cous,

etc) without complaints from him or my husband.

You can cube it, marinate it in juices, mash or puree it into other foods, make

puddings, there are lots of possibilities - experiment. And don't forget like

someone else mentioned, their tastes for foods change quickly. Give something a

few turns

before discarding it all together and hold off for a few days before introducing

each new thing.

Good luck, hope this was helpful.

I read in a parenting book one time that lots of babies have to try

something ten times before they will eat it! I try to remember that when I

am on the verge of giving up.
