"Wholly" Guacamole!

We did Avocado at the beginning of the week and my little man doesn't seem too enthused. I pretty much get this face every time!



Avocado recipe:
1 slice of avocado, mashed
A bit of formula to thin to desired consistency

You can also add a little mashed banana which is what we added at the end of the week.

For avocado I mash at feeding time. The way to cut down on browning is to slice the avocado into slices and freeze.You don't even need anything else to keep them green. You can also add a drop or two of lemon juice in pureed avocado to keep it from browning.

I love making my own baby food because I feel like he is getting much more variety. Perhaps it is just my grocery store but the first stage purees have very little options. I don't want to limit his taste buds and hope he can be a little foodie someday who loves all the wonderful fruits and veggies out there.
