Can you give me two great recipes for my toddler?

Hi,


I am looking for 2 recipes to make for my toddler within the next 3 hours.


I would like these 2 recipes


1. main dish


2. dessert





Now here is the challenge.


I am not going to the Supermarket until tomorrow and have completely run out of ingredients. There is limited food available now.


Here are the ingredients:


Flour


Cream of wheat


Salt


Sugar


Sweet Potatoes


Potatoes


Cheese


Hersheys Syrup


Klim Powder Milk


Onion


Garlic


Apple


Baking Powder


Flavored Yogurt


Whipped Cream


Butter


3 Tins of Gerber Food (which she is fed up of)





With these ingredients can you come up with two simple yet delicious recipes for her?





P.S. all recipes should be easy stovetop ones. no oven recipes please.


10 points to the 2 most delicious ones.Can you give me two great recipes for my toddler?
Main dish: Peel a sweet potato and cut it into chunks. Boil in a pot of water until tender. Remove the chunks, mash with a little butter, salt, and just a dash of sugar. Yum!





Dessert: I have two suggestions. The easy one would be to just give her yogurt with some apple chunks in it. The hard, but tastier, one would be to use the sugar to make caramel (see http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Caramel for directions) and use it as a dip for apple slices.





Wish I could make the same thing for dinner!Can you give me two great recipes for my toddler?
Cheesy Mashed Potatoes





Ingredients


4 lbs potatoes, about 6 to 8 medium


1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature


1/2 cup milk


1 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (optional)


1 cup grated cheddar cheese





Directions


Peel potatoes and cut in half. Place in a large saucepan and cover with water. Cover saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce heat to medium and boil gently, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, from 20 to 30 minutes.





Drain potatoes and mash.


Stir in butter, milk, salt and pepper.


Stir in cheese just until mixed, season.








For dessert, sliced apples with yogurt to dip
1) Cheese and potato pie.





Peel and cook potatoes as normal. Drain, shake dry and mash with butter. Add grated cheese and mix. Place in ovenproof dish and top with grated cheese. Grill until it bubbles.





2) Peel, cook and puree apple with sugar to taste. Stir in a little cream.
Well, no oven, but do you have a blender....?? And how old is your Toddler ? What kind of Gerber Food....meats, or ??? These make a difference in how we describe some recipes to you to actually help you the most. Sure I can search it out and give a link or two but for you that is somewhat useless at this point.


Here is what I would do with what you have on hand...and using a Blender.


Cream of Wheat cooked in reconstituted Dry Milk, and top with a dot of butter and just enough whipping cream for a good flavor.


Sweet Potatoes and an apple cut up cooked in a small amount of water,blended to mix and chop well. Add a slight amount of sugar if the apple is a sour one. If your toddler is eating chunky foods make it chunky.


If you are already giving your toddler onions and garlic, then I would cook the potatoes sliced, in a bit of water/milk with the onions and a little garlic for flavor, and a bit of salt. Then top or stir in small chunks of Cheese. (This is protein just like meat would be if that was listed)


Yogurt, I would serve with the Cream of Wheat, for breakfast.


Sweet potatoe mix for Lunch along with Yogurt on the side.


The Potato Cheese mixture, for a snack or dinner.


If the TINS of baby food is meat....then sometimes changing them up with a bit of spice, or mixing in maybe a veggie they like to change the flavor helps. And being persistent with feeding them. They learn their power early in life.
