Here are some more of the recipes I’ve made for Eliana in the last few weeks:
Zucchini Puree
- – 1 organic zucchini sliced or chopped
- – Olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add zucchini and a pinch of salt and stir. Add garlic and pinch of pepper. Stir and let cook around 4 or 5 minutes till tender but not mushy. Blend.
Let cool slightly before serving to baby.
Potato and Kale Puree
- – ½ small organic potato- chopped (any kind except sweet potato- leave skin on)
- – ¼ small yellow onion- chopped
- – Several leaves of organic purple or green kale- stalk removed- roughly chopped or torn
- – Olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste
Steam potato and set aside. Steam kale and set aside. Heat olive oil in pan on low-medium heat and add onion, garlic and salt. Cook until golden- around 4 minutes. Combine all ingredients and blend.
Let cool slightly before serving to baby.

Blueberry Puree
- – 1 cup frozen, organic blueberries, thawed

Puree blueberries. If tart, add juice as needed for a bit of sweetness.
Variation: Mix with oatmeal or yogurt.
Happy Cooking!
