About the Author

 Introduction

Thank you very much for obtaining a copy of this recipe book; I am confident
you will enjoy every page!
Taking extra precautions when introducing solid foods to your baby is
critical to avoid putting them at risk.
Putting them at risk includes more than just feeding them suitable types of
solid foods; it also includes advice on feeding your child well.
Before you start feeding your child solid foods, ensure they are ready for that
stage of life.
And the following are indicators that your child is mature enough to be fed
solid foods.
- When food or drink is offered to your child, they understand that they must
open their mouth.
- Your child can sit up, either with support or alone.
- Can grasp little objects.
- Can make good use of neck and head.
- Can swallow easily.

If your child can do this, they are ready to start eating solid foods!
Let's discuss the tips you'll need to succeed during this transition period!
Tips for Feeding Your Baby:
Before you begin preparing your baby's food, make sure you wash your
hands.
Not only that but keep all cooking items and surfaces clean. You can even
disinfect items and surfaces before cooking.
Before cooking with vegetables, peel and wash your vegetables and fruits.
When cooking with fish or meat, remove the bones, skin, and fat.
Before feeding your baby, check the temperature of the food because your
baby cannot eat hot foods at this time.
Before you begin feeding, blow on the food.
Cooking with hard ingredients such as nuts and seeds should be avoided.

 Author's Note

Not many people do this, but I grew up under difficult circumstances where
nothing was handed to me, and the only way forward was with your best
effort. At some point, people started recognizing me for my talent in the
kitchen despite my young age, and I’ve only worked harder from there!
Because I am constantly trying to improve my work, I would really
appreciate your help. Sure, I always ask my friends and family for their
feedback on my newest projects but, whether they want to accept it or not,
there’s always some sort of bias because they don’t want to hurt my feelings
by criticizing my work. Thus, I need a neutral pair of eyes — that’s where
you come in!
If you’re up for it, I would appreciate you telling me what you think of my
cookbooks. Are the recipes easy to follow? Did you get stuck somewhere?
Are the measurements laid out? Any suggestions you may have are welcome.
After all, cookbooks are only helpful when you actually understand them!
Incorporating your ideas and suggestions into my new projects will be my
show of eternal gratitude because you can only be the best at something by
constantly improving and being open to change.
Thanks!

 About the Author
Alicia had a tough childhood and had to take care of her siblings early.
Although they often helped her with making the beds and washing, Alicia
was responsible for cooking since she was the oldest of six. Being in the
kitchen was still very difficult at her age, but she learned her way around the
stove and oven throughout the years.
Whereas her first dishes were practically inedible, burnt rice and mushy
pasta… Eventually, she turned to the oven for help as many of the dishes she
wanted to make were too complicated. Nonetheless, her baked casseroles
were amazing! Most importantly, they were simple and required way less
clean-up.
At first, they were simple pasta bakes, but once Alicia got the hang of things,
she was baking all sorts of meals. When it came to spreading the word of her
delicious cooking, having 5 siblings was extremely advantageous. Soon,
neighbors were placing orders for some of her casseroles! Eventually, Alicia
was doing so well with the business that she hired extra help. Now it’s one
of the most affordable yet popular weeknight casserole services in the mid-
West!
Today, she still lives with her siblings and is working hard to teach them
about the family business that led them out of poverty. She likes to publish
cookbooks on casseroles and one-pot meals in her free time— basically
anything quick and easy. Her motto is, “If a seven-year-old can’t make it, it
isn’t simple enough!”
