Lamb meat is a great choice once you introduce to your baby to meat. Not least because it's high in iron, which babies need as their iron stores start to dwindle around 6 months old. My little one loved this lamb and it was so easy and cheap to make.
Ingredients
- 1 lamb shank
- 1 pinch dried thyme , Optional
Instructions
-
1
Place lamb shank in a saucepan, cover with water, and add thyme. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until meat is falling off bone, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
-
2
Transfer lamb and 16 ounces cooking liquid to two separate containers. Place in the refrigerator to chill, 1 hour to overnight. Discard remaining cooking liquid.
-
3
Skim off any solidified fat from chilled cooking liquid and discard.

4
Remove meat from bone and place in a food processor. Discard bone, excess fat, and tendons. Add 2 1/2 ounces cooking liquid to meat and process until a fine, even texture is achieved, adding more liquid as needed.

Air Fryer Copycat Nacho Fries
Nacho fries may be on the Taco Bells menu one minute... gone the next, so I created an at-home version AND did it using the air fryer. If you are still inclined to deep-fry, double the amount of seasoning as most will get lost in the hot oil.
Chinese Dandelion Dumplings
I submitted this Chinese dandelion dumplings recipe for the 2009 Dandelion Cook-Off at Breitenbach Winery Dandelion Festival. These were a crowd favorite, especially the Asian-style dipping sauce. If you like dandelion greens, you'll love these. Formed dumplings can be frozen up to two months.
Gingerbread Cheesecake
This gingerbread cheesecake is perfect for Christmas dessert! The cinnamon whipped cream is optional but it really adds a nice touch. Garnish with festive ginger cookies for extra wow factor.
