we have also did lasangae and cottage pie but thats about it lol - going to try a beef stir fry at the weekend (just keep all the veg chunky for dd as she now wont eat with a spoon lol) be interested to see what else people come up with.
Maybe a beef curry (not a spicy one?)

Cottage pie or bolognese are other ways to give beef - but my ds needed the mince blending a bit til he was about 9 months.
Dd had some of the beef out of our stir fry with some mashed veg yesterday (think it was cauli, broc, courgette and tomato)
Beef curry serves 4
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic crushed
1.5 lbs stewing or braising beef cubed
1 sliced red pepper
397g can tomatoes including juice
1/4 pint beef stock
2 tbsp chutney (any)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1oz sultanas
2 cooking apples, cored and roughly chopped
1oz cashew nuts (if you like them, not essential at all)
Mix flour, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, ginger and salt.
In a large fry pan gently fry onion and garlic until soft, not browned.
Toss meat in spiced flour and brown on all sides in the pan. Stir in any remaining flour.
Add all remaining ingredients except nuts and transfer to slow cooker and cook for 6-10 hours.
Stir in nuts prior to serving if desired.
sorry to hijack your thread glimmer but can i ask a silly question - what else can i use creme fraiche in as i hear people mentioning it all the time (can you tell i dont cook alot lol) i picked some up in my shop the other night and now im a bit stuck as to what i can use it in.

Lauz I make a pasta dish with creme fraiche that both my munchkins (and me & OH)love:
1 leek, sliced
pack chestnut mushrooms, sliced
half - 3/4 pack, of bacon, cubed
tub of creme fraiche (I use half fat but it's personal preference)
Pasta
Whilst pasta is cooking, dry fry the bacon in a big pan. Once it's cooked, add a splash of olive oil and then the leeks and mushrooms plus a grinding of black pepper. Cook for 5 mins or so til the veg are tender but still have bite then add the creme fraiche and heat through. Drain the pasta and mix in with the sauce. Done!!
It's so quick and yummy.

Thanks for that xxx
we also use it instead of soured cream on fajitas and to top chilli con carne.
Thanks x
I also use it in a fish pie recipe I got from Bedhead on here - mix some chopped fish (I use salmon and cod) with creme fraiche, top with mashed potato and bake in oven for about 30 minutes (until potato browns). I usually add a bit of lemon juice and some mixed herbs too. It's really easy and suitable for babies too - the fish goes nice and soft so just takes a bit of mushing with a fork.
I serve with peas or sweetcorn. It goes down really well in our house.
the pasta sounds nice and i will try the fish pie - we dont really eat fish but i want dd to eat 'evrything' so i think that'll be dinner tomorrow lol as i have just cut cod into portions and now stink lol - dont have any salmon but could just do cod on its own or add some tuna? dd can have that and me and hubby could have the pasta - use the creme fraiche up lol. it was one of those things i 'thought' i should buy even though i never have before and then i was like 'hmm what do i do now' lol i wasnt sure if it was meant to be used sweet like double cream or savoury like soure cream or both which is how it seems?
