We decided to take a quick trip to Seattle so this week we tried a little bit of everything. We were on the run, had places to be and see and sometimes we didn't have our usual food waiting in the freezer. Kannon got his introduction to lentils and asparagus, but he tasted the wonders of "real" food. We gave him rice, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, and even chicken broth!!! I think all the new foods are opening up his eyes to culinary delights because he has been putting everything in his mouth---rocks, grass, and even my lollipop! We intend to go back to our regularly planned meals but until then Kannon is eating his way through Seattle!
Asparagus::
Snap the woody stems off and steam gently for a 10 minutes. Let cool and puree.
Kannon was okay with asparagus. He made a few funny faces but decided that overpowering flavor of asparagus was okay and slurped it down. We actually turned one meal into an asparagus soup by adding a little formula and chicken stock and he was quite happy with the results.
Lentils::
Follow package directions. Puree if desired.
I added applesauce to our lentil puree as well as some cinnamon. We have been adding lentil into almost every meal, mixing it with different fruit and veggies to see Kannon's reaction. I have been more surprised with my own reaction, because I remembered how much I LOVE lentils. We will be keeping these guys on the menu!
