Chicken “Stir fry” Puree
This past weekend I went to the farmers market and gorgeous pencil asparagus were everywhere. Asparagus aren’t one of those vegetables that you naturally think of giving to a baby. I was struggling to think of a recipe, then last night my husband said, “Let’s have stir fry for dinner”.
The ingredients in a stir fry lend themselves to the flavors that marry beautifully in baby food. I will say that it was tough leaving out the soy sauce, but young babies still don’t need the extra sodium in their diet.
When I pulled the lid off the food processor the sesame aroma leapt out at me and I guess Kenya too, since he was screaming, and I mean SCREAMING for a bite. He only mumbles a few words, but “mmmm..,” kept coming out as he ate bite after bite. I’ll take that as a compliment.
