Yummy Spoonfuls™ Scrumptious Organic Potato & Leek Baby Food Recipe

Healthy…Happy…YUMMY!

Creamy Yummy (Stage 1) Vegetarian Recipe


















Ingredients:

2) 1 cup water or home made unsalted vegetable stock

3) 2 tablespoon organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil

4) 1 organic leek (open and washed properly, use white stalk only) chopped.

5) ½ cup organic frozen peas (check label to make sure there is no salt added and also that it is made in the USA)
 

Add olive oil to pan, add leeks and sauté for about 5 minutes while stirring, add potato and water (or stock) and cover , cook for about 9 minutes, add the frozen peas and continue cooking for about 6 more minutes or until they are all soft. Puree to the right consistency for baby- For a creamy texture I use a food mill and for a mushy texture use a food processor.

Good source of fiber, folate, manganese, vitamin A, C, K.
 
There is no need for added flour (fillers) because the meal is not watered down.  Make sure the food you feed your baby doesn’t come with any added flour.  Flour is mostly used to thicken the food to help mask the ton of water added.  Do not feed babies ‘empty nothing’, make every bite count., Whenever you want to feed something to your baby ask yourself what nutritional role is that little bite going to play?

Here at Yummy Spoonfuls™ organic baby food, as always our goal is brining wholesome convenience to busy parents without all the added junk. You will not find any flour in our meals because we don’t water it down. If you cannot make your own food please make sure you look at the label closely and identify every ingredient and its role.

Happy cooking & feeding.
1) 2 cups organic potato (peeled and cut into small cubes)
