Yum For BABY: Scrambled Egg with Roasted Tomatoes (For age 15 months+)

How many of you cook a separate meal for your kids? I know, there are many parents spending hours and hours in the kitchen preparing 3 or more separate meals for their kids and adults. Yes, we have to please our fussy eaters. Well, unfortunately, I too make separate meal for my son. Everyone including my mother told me not to cook separately for the kid and offer him what we eat. But for me it is heartbreaking to watch my son leaving his dinner table without eating. So I always make sure that, I have something on the table that my son can eat, like something which is not too spicy. Nowadays I started encouraging him to have at least a mouthful of whatever we are eating.

For me, one of the biggest challenges is finding out what to offer him for breakfast? Cereals and oats are very common choices, but getting him to eat oatmeal same day is not easy. We always have to make sure that they are getting enough protein and fat as nutritional boost at breakfast. Egg is a wonderful choice; eggs are packed with powerful nutrients and are a great source of protein as well. There are so many ways you can offer egg as breakfast. Scrambled egg is so easy to make and yummy too. But when I offered for the first time, he liked it but not up to my expectation. Ya, he didn’t like the plain taste of egg. So I made roasted tomatoes and served with scrambled egg. YES, that worked, a great way to serve egg and veggie as breakfast.
