Here are some of the recipes for what I have fed Eliana so far. Here are a few notes about my recipes and cooking: -I give Eliana as much seasonal, organic produce as possible.

Each day I *attempt* to feed her two different “solids” twice a day. Attempt because there are days it happens and days it doesn’t. We all have goals, right? I took the year off from work to stay home with the little lady and since I like to cook, I’m a bit of a food snob, and (I’ll confess) a control freak, I’m making all her food. So far, at least.
