When we think about making our own baby food we often think of steaming fruits & veggies and then simply pureeing them to the desired consistency. But did you ever consider how different an apple can taste when it is baked instead of steamed? Or how about baking your babies sweet potato instead? All these various cooking methods will bring out different tastes and textures. Bananas were always tricky for me - Sofia only would eat them if they were at just the right level of ripeness. What she really loved is when I baked them which created a yummy caramelized sweetness. Simply put the banana into a 400 degree oven in the peel for about 8 minutes. Once it cools peel and mash with a fork - add a little cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor. This is a great one to add to their morning cereal as well. This is one of the many "tricks" we teach in our workshops. Our classes are not just merely steam & puree we show you all different ways to cook your kids food. If you have a little one who doesn't seem to care for a certain fruits or veggies changing up your preparation might just change the way your kiddo reacts to it. We hope to see you in a workshop soon!!
