fruits/vegetables -- peeled, no seeds

[Guest guest]

Do we just eliminate certain legal foods in the beginning since it is too hard

to separate the skins and seeds? I discovered that cooked tomatoes lose their

peels easily. Are there other thin skinned foods that can be peeled this way?

My son loves red peppers -- can those be peeled? What about zuchinni -- that's

easy to peel, but half of the inside is seed. I tried to cook and strain

blueberries, but the outcome is not worth the trouble. Can someone post the

foods to just stay away from since they are not possible to prepare properly for

stage 1? Or post the secret method to prepare them! I would really appreciate

this if someone remembers the foods that work well in the beginning. My son

really appreciates variety and loves his veggies.

My son loves and tolerates the acorn squash and butternut squash very

well. They are easy to prepare. Just cut in half, take out strings

and seeds and cook in oven at 400 for 35 minutes. The acorn squash

made into squash buttons is delicious. I think a lot of moms have

tweeked this recipe too. Add Cinnamon and it tastes just like pumpkin

pie! I make squash muffins with them and I have to hide them from my

son.

1 chicken breast

1/2 cooked, peeled and deseeded acorn squash

1 tbs cocanut oil

2 eggs

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp vanilla (make sure there is no illegals in it, no corn syrup)

1 tsp baking soda

1/8 cup honey

mix ingredients in a processor put into well greased muffin tin lined

with pyrex muffin molds or paper liners, I use light tasting virgin

olive oil. About half full. Cook at about 350 for 25 minutes or

until golden brown and the muffins pop back up when you depress them

with your finger.

String beans are good but my son can only tolerate a very little bit

and not too often. There are a lot of recipes on the pecanbread

website and links to other websites that have all recipes.

Hi ,

<<Do we just eliminate certain legal foods in the beginning since it

Skins and seeds are harder to digest than cooked vegetable and fruit

pulp. Skins and seeds of some fruit and veggies are very hard to

remove ; so yes that is one reason why some are not recommended until

later (as in berries)

<< Are there other thin skinned foods that can be peeled this way?

Roasting the peppers will allow you to remove the skins:

" In the past, we've roasted peppers on the grill, but, since it's

winter, we'll roast them under the broiler in the oven. Place the

sheet pan with the peppers on a rack in the highest position. If your

rack doesn't reach high enough (the peppers should be within 2 inches

of the broiler), invert another sheet pan and place that on the rack

first to raise the level of the peppers. Broil until the surface of

the peppers bubble and then turn black, about 15 minutes. Rotate the

pan as necessary for even roasting. After the peppers are done

roasting, stack the peppers and fold the aluminum foil over to seal

the peppers in and steam them. Steam the peppers for five to ten

minutes before peeling the skins off. "

<< What about zuchinni -- that's easy to peel, but half of the

inside is seed.>>

If it is a young zucchini (< 10 inches) with small seeds you don't

need to remove them.

If okay with cooked and peeled how about some stewed fruit - peeled

apricots, peaches, mangos, apples, pears
