Super simple and sweet. Chloe is addicted to this Butternut Squash Puree. It’s also a great thing to keep on hand to mix into other purees.
Butternut Squash was one of Chloe’s first foods. It was honestly a tough choice trying to decide which fruit or vegetable we would choose for her first food. Butternut squash is in season and all over the farmer’s market, so that’s what we chose. This video is the first bite she ever took, so it’s extra special that we captured it!
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.

I don’t usually post on recipe blogs, but I just had to say how delicious this was. I made it exactly as the recipe states, and it was just absolutely divine. Making it again this weekend for a friend who doesn’t eat dairy. Thanks so much!

You do not need to add water to bake it!
Hello! Do I need to add an inch of water when I bake this? Or is this essentially roasting it? Thanks!
