Broccoli + Asparagus Baby Food Puree
Did you survive the craziness??.. Halloween followed up with daylight savings! Holy Moly!
It was like a double hitter – excess of sugar and lack of sleep!
I want to say that my family and I cruised through Halloween with just a little extra sugar and an extra serving of vegetables, but this is not the case. We do up Halloween! CANDY! COSTUMES! BOOZE (for the adults)! We eat candy, and a ton of it. This happens one day a year, so we go all out, and I am pretty sure Ellie has eaten her body weight in candy!
Obviously, she (and the rest of us) was a mess the day after.
Which means, it is time now time for a huge heaping serving of green vegetables! Flush that sugar (and tantrums) away. The easiest way to get a large serving of vegetables into my toddlers body is a reusable pouch filled with a healthy and tasty puree!
Broccoli, asparagus, and green beans are quickly steamed, sweetened with a couple of pears, and flavored with refreshing tarragon—yumminess in a puree, hooray!
If you are still in that cute angelic baby-whom-has-never-had-a-touch-of-sugar-in-their-lives phase and this post is scaring the crap out of you, don’t worry, this puree is great for babies as well.
Okay, enough about sugar crashes, let’s move on to this amazing puree!
This puree recipe is easy. We chop up the veggies and quickly steam them. Steaming is a great way to retain all the nutrients from the vegetables while getting a crispy and light-tasting puree.
