Butternut Squash Puree

February 19, 2008

Super simple and sweet. Kenya is addicted to butternut squash. It's also a great thing to keep on hand to mix into other purees. Butternut Squash was one of Kenya's first foods. Smooth, creamy and easy for baby to get down. This is a must for all babies. Packed with Beta-Carotene to help with babies skin and vision while also giving a boost of antioxidant qualities.

    Hello! Do I need to add an inch of water when I bake this? Or is this essentially roasting it? Thanks!
