Adventures in baby feeding.


Creating meals for a 9 month old is no easy feat. They don't spare your feelings when you've given them something they don't like and it can be frustrating finding ways to get them to ingest the vitamins and proteins their growing bodies need. Bottom line--I've had to step up my game.

Committed to making his meals myself, I've decided to post what works (DISCLAIMER: for us, for now).


Great Greens

2 cups frozen spinach, kale, collards, Swiss chard (you can use one of these or all 4)
1 cup shelled Edamame
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Toss the leafy greens in about an inch of boiling water, just until their color changes to a vibrant green. Add the Edamame and stir for a minute or two. Drain most of the water and pour into a blender/food processor. Mixture should be chunky. Add cheese and blend.

That's it, enjoy!


Already working on tomorrow's recipe...stay tuned.

Fantastic! Now cyberspace has it's own loving mother who carefully puts her heart AND her wisdom into her son's carefully prepared and nutritionally balanced meals. Brava!

Now mommys everywhere can, "Ask Sarah" for her latest opinion on the best meals she has served her very own son. What a valuable resource for mothers everywhere!!
