Baby Food | Sweet Pea Puree with Mint

Описание: How to Make Baby Food: Sweet Pea Puree with Mint

Out of all the different green vegetables I tried for my baby, peas was always a sure thing. Patrick would GOBBLE it up! I loved that he enjoyed it so much, but I also loved that it was so easy. No peeling, chopping, etc. and if there weren't fresh peas available, frozen peas worked just as well as they are usually frozen at their peak in season. Occasionally, I would add a sprig of mint in the steaming process to make it fragrant and to introduce him to a new smell and flavor. Once he was ready for dairy, for variety, I would sometimes add some plain yogurt for a creamy combo. Sweet peas were an early favorite with Patrick and he still loves them...raw or cooked.
