Found this fruit puree at Starbucks yesterday. If I had the time I'd steal the fruit combo ideas and make myself but as that's never gonna happen I'm just as happy to buy these Peter Rabbit Organic pouches and feed to B. 100 % fruit with nothing extra according to ingredients list. And he gobbled up like I snarf warm chocolate chip cookies!

it's not just me!
Too funny. Strolling through Whole Foods last night and bumped into a mom looking for something to feed her 14-month-old. "He can't just eat noodles all the time." LOL. I thought I was the only one who used pasta as a fallback for every meal. Then we both agreed avocado was a wonderful thing and moved on. I hope she found something. I tried raspberries and broccoli (again). No luck. But he did eat an entire organic leather fruit strip - peach flavored. Probably won't be feeding him one every day but good to know.

spaghetti night
Stealing inspiration from one of my favorite dishes at Rosti, we had spaghetti with tomato sauce and goat's cheese tonight (with broccoli on the side - semi success with the veggies).
Ben's had mac 'n' cheese before and noodles (De Cecco's Farfalline seem to be small enough for him to enjoy) with roasted red pepper and goat's cheese sauce but this was his very first bowl of spaghetti -- except I cheated and chopped it into little pieces rather than giving him long strands. We'll save that photogenic experience for the weekend when I've got more time to clean up.
FWIW, Pomi makes the very best chopped tomatoes that come in a box (the marinara version is meh). It's got such a clean, fresh flavor, you don't even need to do anything but toss the tomatoes with your pasta. (Of course I like to add a lot of garlic and so far Ben seems fine with that.) The only spot locally that I can find Pomi is @ Bay Cities Deli -- the best Italian spot for miles and I tend to stock up every time I visit. But I just found this awesome looking place online and now I gotta order something!

a little bit of this and that
@ 11 months
Complete disorganization today. We forgot to bring our wallets to Whole Foods (never mind Whole Paycheck, we didn't have a buck between us) so plans for a beautifully prepared meal were set aside just so I could feed Ben something, anything. Bah. Bad start to a baby food blog. So it was mashed avocado, whole wheat bread, bits of turkey and vanilla yogurt. All at the same time. His choice.
