Adventures in Fooding: Zucchini, Cauliflower, Papaya, Blueberries, Strawberries, and Asparagus!

It's been a big weekend food wise for Kasen. Since he could now start enjoying a wider variety of fruits, veggies, and proteins, I began to slowly introduce some of these new items into his meals.

Zucchini and Cauliflower are very mild-tasting vegetables and pureed beautifully after being steamed. I actually swirled zucchini and cauliflower puree into Kasen's oatmeal at lunchtime and he ate it with very little complaints! We also mixed papaya with banana and blueberry with banana - loves it (of course). I added strawberry puree to his baby banana yogurt. Again, love! I was hoping that would be the case since I ate strawberries non stop when I was pregnant with Kasen. Lastly we had asparagus last night - but I didn't have a chance to test it out on him. I packed it in his lunchbox for his grandpa (yeh yeh) to give him. His grandpa this morning asked me if he could make jook for him and teach him how to enjoy it. I said sure - but it has to be plain, with nothing added (no salt, sugar, msg, etc.). So we'll see how that goes. If they are successful I will be pleased! And I won't have to worry about his lunch anymore.
