This was Ella's first experience with quinoa or anything with a grittier texture for that matter. She seemed a little confused at first, but got the hang of it REAL fast. Of course I gave them a try before serving them to her and they definitely have my seal of approval. You just can't go wrong with cheesy potatoes...EVER. As you'll notice from the baby food recipes I'll be posting, I'm also experimenting with some spices here and there (yes, there will be the same - twice...don't even go there smarty pant).
Ingredients:
1 cup of cooked quinoa
1/2 cup of potato puree (I had pureed steamed russet potatoes with water until it reached the desired consistency)
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
*Pinch of onion powder and thyme (optional)
Directions:
1. Be sure potatoes and quinoa are warmed.
1. Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl.
1. Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly until cheese is melted in.
Made enough for 2 - 3 servings depending on babies appetite - approx. 10 oz.
Can freeze up until 3 months.
If I would have let her lick the bowl she would have gotten every last bit!
