When I’m coming up with new baby food purees, I’m always after the same thing, something smooth, creamy, and appealing enough that my baby actually wants to eat it. Broccoli is tricky, though. It has a beautiful color and tastes great steamed, but pureed on its own it turns watery and bland. Rather than skip it, I just combine it with a couple of ingredients that fix the texture, and it turns out perfectly.
By adding potato and cheese, the broccoli blends in beautifully and the puree turns smooth and creamy, perfect for babies. Both of my kids ate this regularly when they were starting solids and never seemed to get enough of it!

Did you add bits of corn to this recipe (image)? Looks delicious… will try with my LO this weekend.
