Plum

Have y'all ever heard of Plum Organics baby food?  It looks like this and its fabulous!

When we travel with Aubrey I am always sure to buy a few Plum products (this stuff has saved my life several times on a crowded plane!). They have a squeeze pouch that is perfect for traveling so you are not making a mess and fumbling with a jar or Tupperware of baby food. They are also 100% organic with no added sugar, juice, or flavors.
Aubrey is on table food (she basically eats what we eat now) but today I had the ingredients so I copied one of their mixtures of sweet potato, corn, & apple. I knew it would make a mess but went for it anyways. She had lots of fun at lunch today as you will see below....

I Love Plum!!

She is working on feeding herself with a utensil, its getting there:)

One more for Daddy!

Where we live I have only been able to find them at Target and a few times at Babies R Us. If you have a baby and are traveling this stuff is the way to go! She loved all the fruit and veggie blends, surprisingly the Spinach, Peas, & Pear was her favorite!

First Meals

I bought a baby cook book when Aubrey started eating solid foods called "First Meals" by Annabel Karmel. She breaks up the recipes into age groups and it has been really helpful for me. I enjoy making Aubrey her baby food however I always have a few cans in the pantry for those crazy days when I don't have time to make something fresh. I normally make big batches and then freeze the food into smaller portions and that makes my life so much easier!
I made this meal last night and she loved it. I knew she would because this child loves yogurt and avocados (her two favorite snacks are yobaby organic yogurt and bananas & avocados mixed together). Anyways, I wanted to share the recipe from "First Meals" with my mommy friends because it was super easy and fast.

California Chicken (9-12 months)

1 1/2 oz cooked chicken (I have chicken frozen for her so I just thawed some)
1 tomato peeled, seeded, and chopped (I left some seeds its hard to get them all)
1 oz avocado
2 tbsp mild plain yogurt
1 1/2 tbsp grated Cheddar cheese

Chop the chicken, then combine it with the remaining ingredients. Blend the mixture to the desired consistency. Also, you can use the ingredients to make yourself a salad or sandwich at the same time.
