  1. I actually would have not thought of putting sweet potatoes with those other ingredients. It makes sense though and sounds like it would be really tasty !

  2. I so much went into the lanes when my preschooler had just started solids and I focussed so much on puree foods. Sweet potato and banana was one of his favourite.
