potato on its own was never a hit... but the sweet veges like carrots were always a hit.
and yeah pear with stuff was popular too. |

| I'll have to go out and get some pears! Does anyone put meat into their purees or is it not a good idea? |

I think it is recommended to start with chicken. Have a look in the thriving under 5 book or ask plunket they have a hand out of when to introduce what but I think meat was fine after 6 months. -------------

Kryssi loved roast lamb pureed with her veges. In fact she wouldn't eat anything without meat in it, even at that age  -------------  |

How do you puree it? And can you freeze it? I want to start freezing some for when bubs is on solids.. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

I got a great meat puree recipe off my Plunket nurse.
400 Grams Lean mince 1 Kumara 1 Apple 1 Cup water Brown mince then place in a pot with peeled cubed kumura and apple. Simmer for 20-30 minutes then cool and puree. My daughter loves this. I freeze it into cubes and then give her this plus veges every day for lunch. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have this Women's Weekly "Fresh Food for Babies and Toddlers". It looks awesome. They have some neat ideas for 6-8 months, so I will share a few. If you try any, let me know how you get on.
- Carrot and Brocolli Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed carrot with 1 tablespoon of pureed brocolli. - Kumera and Squash Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed kumera with 1 tablespoon of pureed squash. - Potato and Pumpkin Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed potato with 1 tablespoon of pureed pumpkin. - Potato and Spinach Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed potato with 1 tablespoon of pureed spinach. - Carrot and Spinach Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed potato with 1 tablespoon of pureed spinach. - Apple and Avocado Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed apple with 1 tablespoon of pureed avocado. Also this one looks awesome: - Chicken, Zucchini and Parsnip Puree (Prep Time 10 mins, cooking time 20 mins, makes 2 cups) - 1 single chicken breast fillet (170g), chopped coarsly - 2 small zucchini (180g), chopped coarsly - 1 small parsnip (120g), chopped coarsly - 1 1/4 cups (310ml) water Place ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, until vegetables soften and chicken is cooked through. Blend or process mixture until smooth. Great for freezing. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
