Water chestnut

[Mal]

Do you think it would be safe to feed Ella cooked water chestnut??? I am having sum for dinner and want to know if she can eat some too!!!

[Mal]

Also can they eat lima beans????

[Aly]

I know lima beans are only safe when FULLY cooked otherwise they can cause alot of digestive problems. In moderation, when cooked they are ok to give. As far as water chestnuts...not sure..gotta look it up.

Edit: All the info I found says they're safe.

I think water chestnuts is save, I was looking in the health section here and on T.B but couldn't find a list of other safe food other then fruits and veggies

But i know lima beans are mine eat them in a mixed vegetable bag we buy ( the frozen type)

I'll look some more and see what i can find

[Mal]

ok cool!!!

[atvchick95]

found it on T.B

WATERCRESS this is high in vitamins A C & E and aids the kidneys.

So it is good for them

we make ours birdie cakes, I bet Ella would go wild for them

take a box of Jiffy mix mix it up just like the directions say ONLY i replace the milk with water, and i add the shells of the eggs too

then we cook up some beans ( we use a 15 bean soup mix) and cook up some noodles, sometimes we use the multi colored noodles other times we use whole grain noodles,

cook that up and drain it real well, then add that to the mix of jiffy in the bowl

then we take some papya and break it up and throw it in and mix it up real well we also add mixed veggies ( we use the frozen bag kind and let it unthaw 1st)

then we use Bread pans or a cake pan we sprinkle thier food and some millet on the bottom before pouring in the batter/mix then sprinkle it on top after all the mix in - the seeds, millet and bird food ontop keeps our friends from eating it - thinking its something good for them( we had a friend eat some of the birdie bread we had sitting out :eek: a few weeks ago)

here's a couple pics of the done project

[Aly]

Yea I know- I'm going to go a different store and look for it.

BTW> Atv chick- I would try and use another kind of cornmix. Jiffy's has lard...

[Tiki]

Can you get the bean mix from a bulk food store? You think maybe?

I agree with Aly...Jiffy's does have lard in it.

[Laura]

That funny that your friend ate some, did she like it :p I hate when you can't find something you want.

[atvchick95]

[Aly]

Me too- I've looked at Publix, Winn Dixie, Whole foods, Walmart..those are pretty much the only major grocery stores here...

[atvchick95]

we bought that one at our local grocery store, Not sure if there is one in other states or not but it's called Marsh Supermarket

[Sophia]

I have never seen it before in supermarkets, maybe because I haven't really gone out and looked for it! Lol! :lol:

[nic bike]

I've looked for it but haven't found it too lol.
