Apple and Zucchini puree is a great combination of savory and sweet, with the goodness of both a fruit and a veggie. It 's super easy to prepare and offers a delicious, crisp taste your baby will love. Suitable for babies 4-6 months & up. Make sure your baby has tried each item individually first.Tzatziki
Shane Valentine
Tzatziki is delicious as a dip or a condiment, and my family can’t get enough. The recipe calls for Greek-style yogurt, which gives the sauce an irresistible richness. Since it is yogurt based, we guiltlessly heap it over meat or fish and dunk into it with warm pita shells.Tandoori Paneer

Shane Valentine
Carrots are super sweet when pureed, and I added tarragon, an herb typically used in French cooking, which only enhances its naturally sweet flavor. Babies, quite simply, adore their carrots!Sofrito
Shane Valentine
Sofrito is the base used in virtually all Puerto Rican cooking, similar to the mirepoix used in France and the soffritto used in Italy. It's not to be eaten by itself. Traditionally, sofrito is made with recao and aji dulce. These 2 ingredients may be hard to find so I created a version without themShepherd’s Pie
