Dinner update

Soren wasn't crazy about all the food I made last weekend.

• Swiss chard puréed with chicken stock + ground baked potato skins - NOPE. Too salty (the stock was really concentrated). I mixed it with the baked potato, which he then ate, but not with gusto. The rest of the chard I mixed with some pumpkin purée and green beans with almonds. He likes this mess!

• Mashed baked potato + cheddar - he liked it fine, but didn't LOVE it.

• Polenta + fresh mozzarella - he seemed to think it was only okay.

• Baked sweet potato mashed with cheddar - YUM! He loves his sweet potatoes.

Tonight I made some chunkier stuff. He has been eating green beans, banana chunks, black beans, pasta letters, and cheese with his fingers, so I am probably not going to be doing too much puréeing anymore.

Sadly, when something is too slippery for him to easily pick up, he just uses his face to eat it right off the table. Poor monkey! Mom starves him!

Some items for this week:


• Puréed stewed prunes + millet.
• Cooked pear + banana mashed with millet (hope he likes millet!).
• Roasted yellow pepper, puréed & blended with goat cheese + pesto. Roasting the pepper under the broiler was the best fun of the evening. I highly recommend it!
