We recently started Gaby on solid foods! She's on purees, just like Santi was, and she LOVES it all, but definitely has her favorites! Since I did a post on what Santi was eating, I thought I would share what Gaby has as favorites too!
So far, she's tried: blueberries, mango, pears, applesauce, bananas, peas, carrots, yogurt, corn, and chicken. We also mix them together and she loves blueberry pear, mango banana, and blueberry banana as well as what we call "peacorn"...which is just peas and corn mixed together.
We have an electric food mill from Kidco that we received as a gift from my cousin and aunt when we had Santi which is great.
Easy to use, and easy to clean (very important with young kiddos around!) It's dishwasher safe and makes for a quick clean up.
We also have OXO Tot food containers to store the purees in and the Fresh Baby ice cube trays with lids (we use the Fresh Baby trays to freeze the cubes for later use.)
Here are some of Gaby's favorites:
Blueberry/Pear Puree
Ingredients:
1 cup of blueberries (I use fresh right now since it's berry season, but you can use frozen as well)
1 pear peeled and sliced into cubes
Directions:
Place blueberries in a saucepan and heat on low until berries start opening and releasing juice. Add to food mill along with pear cubes. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until desired consistency. Place in individual containers or ice cube trays to store.
Banana/Mango Puree
Ingredients:
1-2 whole bananas, broken into pieces
1 mango, peeled and sliced into cubes
Place mango pieces and banana pieces into food mill and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until desired consistency. You may add 1 tbsp. water or so if desired. Place in individual containers or ice cube trays to store.
PeaCorn
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
2-3 tbsp. water
Directions:
Place corn and peas in saucepan and add 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-6 minutes. Strain peas and corn and place into food mill with 2-3 tbsp. of water. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until desired consistency. Place in individual containers or ice cube trays to store.
