Baby Food

Claire's Dahl

1 can artichoke hearts steamed & pureed
1 zuchini steamed and pureed
1/4 cup low sodium organic chicken broth
1/4 cup organic red lentils, cooked
1/8 tsp curry
1/8 tsp coriander
1/16 tsp tumeric

mix together and enjoy! I modified this recipe from my William Sonoma baby cookbook because I didn't have all the ingredients the other recipe called for. Claire really liked it. I puree stuff because Claire still has a bit of a texture thing.

Meme's "refried" beans

1 can organic pinto beans
1 tsp canola oil
water as needed

heat oil in small pan over medium heat. Add beans and warm through, smash beans adding water as needed to moisten and thin the beans. Add garlic and a teensy bit of salt to taste.

If I don't these to Claire's liking, she'll spit them out and smash them herself before eating them. Any surface goes for smashing, her hand, the tray or the back of her head.

Baby Chicken

Organic chicken thighs (as many or few as you like)
1/4 cup organic low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp 21 seasoning salute (trader joes)

cook chicken in a pan until cooked through, adding chicken broth and seasoning for flavor and moisture.

Grandma's soup modified for Claire

1/2 can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup baby chicken (recipe above)
1/4 cup organic low sodium chicken broth
1 organic carrot steamed and pureed
organic green beans steamed and pureed

warm ingredients in pan until at desired temp.
