Joe continues to be a good little eater, and he’s trying new things all the time.
I have been making a lot of his food. It’s not only cheaper, but it lets me know exactly what he’s getting. I puree a fruit or vegetable, pour it into ice cube trays, and freeze it overnight. Each cube is about an ounce, so it’s easy to make him a portion of food. Just throw a few cubes into a bowl, nuke it for a few seconds, and voila.
His favorites:
bananas
sweet potatoes
squash
mangoes
His not-so-favorites:
peas
carrots
green beans
kiwis
His don’t-even-bothers:
yogurt (!!)
hard-boiled egg yolk
Unfortunately, he does seem to prefer the packaged baby food. This is his absolute favorite:
Patrick and I have been eating pretty well lately, too! Last week I made spinach and chicken pie with a lovely phyllo crust:
And last night, in perfect weather, we had a light soup-and-salad dinner on the back porch:
Tonight, I’m going to try making cashew chicken. Wish me luck!
