Beets, you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. We have a love/hate relationship with them and poor beets, we really are fair weathered friends! Today the grocer had beautifully large and sooo purple beats with gorgeous stems and leaves. Yes, I was totally infatuated. Roasted Beet Shapes have been on the Beets for Baby page [...]
This delicious and seasonal recipe is perfect for a myriad of uses! For babies, this would be great for those 10 months+ considering the addition of strawberries. As conservative caution is the motto, please use your own judgement about serving this to babies under 10 months; your baby may already be enjoying strawberries and may [...]
I’m so excited! I found a real true yam in the grocery store a few days ago! Having just come thru 5 days sans power/cable/internet/phone, I’ve been waiting patiently to be able to post my find! So here it is, the real true Yam or Name. The name Name is pronounced Ny-Aah-May and it looks [...]
Parsnips may be a staple on your Fall and Thanksgiving season meal menu. These root veggies are very versatile and very yummy when roasted alone or with other veggies. Give this PC&A Mash below a try! We suggest making the batch a bit larger as you may be inclined to eat it all while just [...]
Pomegranates do not make a good baby food. They may pose a choking hazard as the “edible” portions of the fruit are actually the seeds. The seeds are known as the arils. Please read more from our November 2008 post
Favorite varieties of winter squash for baby food are the Acorn and the Butternut. These are the best choices for baby’s first squash experiences. These types of squash are great even if you start solids early at 4 months. While technically a winter squash, we think of it as a Fall squash as we begin [...]
With Halloween approaching, and with all varieties of winter squash coming in for the Fall harvest, we thought we’d post about using pumpkin for baby food. Please be sure not to use “Halloween” pumpkins for baby food; it’s not okay to make use of leftover pumpkin from Halloween. Pumpkins tend to get moldy quickly but [...]
Florida avocados have a new name (actually they have had this name for a few years but it seems marketing the name has ramped up), the “slimacado” courtesy of Brooks Tropicals. This marketing ploy has caused a bit of confusion for those who love the little bumpy haas. We have had a few emails asking [...]
This bread is GREAT for French toast and to bake into crunchy bread sticks. If you will use this for teething biscuits or rusks, please substitute any ingredients that are not age appropriate for your baby! The recipe makes a heavy textured bread. When you make it, you will think that the recipe is wrong [...]
Yes, the air in New England is more crisp than usual and one can occasionally catch a whiff of Fall. It won’t be long before the full apple harvest is in and the yummy winter squashes (including pumpkins) will be at a farmer’s market or grocery store near you! Oh how I love Fall. It’s [...]
Cori Beth sent us an email and asked the folowing: I am also wondering if anyone else has had avocado make their baby constipated. I believe that avocado has good nutrition but I’m not going to feed it to my baby anymore if it causes him this much discomfort. We don’t have any personal experience [...]
Janey emailed us about her watery peaches. She steamed them and found they “disintegrated” into a watery juice. She also wondered if it was necessary to actually cook the peaches for her little girl who is now 5 1/2 months old. Watery peaches make for great additions to baby’s cereal or to other foods; we [...]
