Great recipe for moms with babes!
Thank you Misty!
This sounds like a great nutritious food for little ones. I loved making homemade baby food when my daughter was little. This is a great combination of healthy foods!
Thank you Marysa! I love making my baby’s food too!
This looks like such a healthy, flavorful alternative to the storebought baby food. I loved making my own, but this looks so much better than what I ever did! My kids are past the babyfood phase, but I was thinking this even looks good as a hummus-like dip for crackers or pita bread. Thanks for all of your ideas. That rosemary beef recipe is on my list of “to try.” Glad you had a great Christmas!

Aww thank you so much Ashley! It means a lot! And yes usually I use leftover purees to make a dip or add it to batter for muffins or just turn them into a sauce perhaps for chicken or fish. I never let them go to waste! Lol let me know how the roast beef comes out when you try it! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas too!
my son loved veggie purees as a baby, this sounds really good for sick babies
Thank you Jasmine! It has been really helpful for us when baby has been sick.
I made my kids baby food. But man I feel like an amateur after reading this combination. Mine were just the basics like you would find in the grocery store.
I made a lot of general combos too but I would get inspired and make other not so usual combinations because I would try to use the same fruits and veggies that I had at home to cook for mh husband and myself.
I’m totally saving this! I have SO MANY cans of chickpeas and I need good recipes like this to inspire me to use them!
That’s the best! When you have an ingredient you don’t know want to make with it and then you find a recipe!
We have a plant-based diet in our home and this recipe looks refreshing. I currently make on that is herbs, chick peas, onions, garlic, and dill relish. Yum!
Yum! All those sound delicious! I would love to try dill relish!
I really wish that I would have made my own puree food for my little ones. This looks like something that they would have really enjoyed!
This one was one of my daughter’s favorites!
Im gonna try this. Im not a fan of puree but guess my lo wil like it
I hope they love it!
This recipe is crazy easy to cook and looks delicious! Thank you, my son loves sweet potatoes ♥
I’m so happy to hear that! Seeet potatoes are one of our favorites too!
Yum! I wish I could make this
Love the fact that i could rate ur recipe in ur comments
Thank you so much Jennifer!
I am wondering how this actually tastes. Even sophisticated plates sometimes have pureed food. I’m glad you have a happy heathy eater.
Thank you Rose! It’s pretty tasty and can actually be added as a sauce to chicken or fish.
