*There are tons of vegetables that I didn’t feature here. This is just what I came home with from a farmer’s market run, and these are the most common vegetables in our house.

*There are no exact amounts listed, because everything is to taste. Yes, you should actually be tasting your baby’s food. After making a purée, I actually reserve some to serve to the whole family with dinner. Like a little soup appetizer. Our favorites are sweet peas with cauliflower & mint, butternut squash & apples, or japanese sweet potato with baby bok choy & thyme.

*Feel free to add meat to any of these purées. Since I don’t like to purée meat, I add finely chopped chicken, fish, pork or beef to the prepared vegetable purée immediately before serving.*

* Mix & Match! These are just ideas, but the fun is finding combinations that you and your baby enjoy.

Have fun with your baby’s food!
