My little Jace turns 7 months in a couple days?! Where did the time go? So here is his adorable self. He couldn’t wait to submerge his cutesy little fingers in the purée. ?
My love for him grows by the minute and I just want to eat this little guy up! I just want to squeeze his chunky thighs and nibble on those cute cheeks. I’m drooling just thinking about him! And I know this behavior might not sound so normal but trust me it is. There’s science backing it up! Apparently, wanting to ‘eat’ my baby makes me a better parent. Go on, look it up.
But not matter how many kisses, hugs and nibbles, I just can’t get enough. The snuggle is real!
And here’s my 5 year old kindergartner, Roy, making some final artistic touches! ?He insisted that adding in colorful rainbow balloons will make the pictures extra special.
This recipe is loaded with veggies; onions, celery, carrots, squash and sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are one of babies’ favorite firsts foods. Combine them with literally any other ingredient and them cute giggly poopers will gobble them right up! And when you add magic lentils?! which, by the way, are a rich source of protein, iron and fibre → this means more cute baby pooping faces. ?You’re welcome!

I’ve made this several times for my baby and she loves it! The cinnamon and cumin really make it delicious. I love that it gets her used to herbs and different flavors. This doesn’t taste like your average baby food. Thank you for this recipe!
This makes me so happy, Lindsay! ?? So glad your baby loves it and I definitely agree on getting them used to different flavors young!
Really yummy. I’d eat it if I had not teeth!
How much celery?
