Isadora has started eating food, and so my Sunday culinary adventure consisted of steaming and pureeing fruits and veggies for her virgin palette. I’m using a great book, Cooking for Baby from williams-sonoma.com. It is so inspiring! I’ve started with sure-fire hits: sweet potatoes, apple sauce, and peas (which get a mixed review). Cooking our own baby food sounds a little high-maintenance, but it’s not really. And I never eat canned or jarred veggies, so why would my baby? The cookbook makes it easy, breaking it down month-by-month on what flavors and food can be introduced when. I’m personally looking forward to “amarath and plum swirl” (month eight) and “minced pork and pear” (nine to 11 months). Before long, we’ll be moving onto the joys of homemade macaroni and cheese.

I love the recipe that you have posted- but I use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk. It tastes perfect. I didn't want to try condensed milk because it seemed strange. I wonder if it's a typo on your part? Just wondering... thanks- Dana :) Hi Laura- Sept. 14th, 2006.
