Breakfast Burrito for the Whole Family

Here's a recipe that will spice up your family's breakfast! My husband and I ate these eggs wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla, while our little guy ate it as a finger food scramble. This scramble is filled with protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins A and C. This is for little one's 9+ months.

Here's what you need:
4-6 eggs
1/2 cup quartered organic cherry tomatoes
1 avocado diced
1 cup canned black beans (drained)
Handful shredded mexican cheese
1 tblsp salsa per person (use mild if serving to your little one)
1 whole wheat tortilla per person
2 tsp olive oil

Add 2 tsp olive oil to a large pan over medium high heat. Mix eggs, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced avocado and black beans in a mixing bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, add cheese and scramble. Put 1 tblsp salsa on each tortilla, add scrambled eggs, and wrap into a burrito. You can add a dash of tobasco, or a few red pepper flakes to your wrap if desired. Do not give tobasco to your little one. If serving to your little one just add a little mild salsa to the scrambled eggs and serve right on high chair tray. Enjoy!

Turkey Avocado Cherry Tomato and Pea Scramble

This is a yummy scramble for the whole family. It's jam packed with protein, iron, vitamin A and C. I made this one morning for my little guy, and then the following Saturday my husband asked if I could make that scramble I made for baby J the other day for him too! This is for babies 9+ months and for Mommies and Daddies of all ages.

Here's what you'll need:
4-6 eggs (if you're making it for the whole family) beaten
2 slices low sodium turkey deli meat (pull apart into smaller pieces)
Handful of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup organic cherry tomatoes quartered
1/3 cup cooked organic peas (I used frozen and just steamed in microwave first)
1 organic avocado diced
1 tblsp herbs de Provence
olive oil

Add 2 tblsp olive oil to a large deep skillet and heat over med-high heat. Add eggs to skillet. Then add shredded turkey, avocado, peas, tomatoes and cheese and mix together. Add herbs de Provence and mix until scrambled. Serve and enjoy!

Green Eggs with Cherry Tomatoes and Cheddar Cheese

I've been playing around with different types of scrambles for my little one, and came up with this one this morning. I've been trying to think of a way to ensure that my little one gets the most bang for his buck out of each bite, considering half of it always ends up on the floor. So, I decided to puree some veggies and mix them right in with the egg batter and then scramble, hence "green" eggs. After investigating the eggs for a minute, my little guy dug right in! This recipe is for babies 8+ months.

Here's what you'll need:
1 oz cooked butternut squash puree (steam then puree)
1 oz cooked broccoli puree (steam then puree, or saute with olive oil then puree)
1/2 oz or 1 small spoonful of mashed avocado
1 egg
pinch of parsley
2 cherry tomatoes quartered
1/4 cup bite size pieces of cheddar cheese

In a small bowl, mix butternut squash puree, broccoli puree, mashed avocado. Add beaten egg to puree mixture and stir until blended. Heat a small skillet over med heat, add a tiny bit of olive oil if you like. Pour egg and veggie mixture to the skillet add a pinch of parsley and cook. When eggs are finished put on a plate to cool for a minute. Cut up tomatoes and cheddar cheese and add them to cooled eggs. Serve right on high chair tray and enjoy!

Baby Scramble

This is a yummy scramble for your little one, and a great finger food. Make sure your baby is old enough to eat cooked egg yolk.

1-2 egg yolks scrambled
1/2 an avocado mashed or diced into small cubes
1 oz smashed cooked peas
1/2 teaspoon grated parmesan cheese
1-2 pinches parsley

Crack eggs into your hand or use an egg separator to separate the yolk from the egg whites. Beat egg yolks and then put them in a small saute pan. Add mashed or diced avocado, smashed cooked peas, parmesan, and parsley to the pan and scramble. Let cool for 1-2 minutes and then serve to your little one. I usually put it right on his high chair tray, or in a bowl as finger food.
