Sweet P’s Recipes

Today I decided to make Payton some homemade fruit purees and grains. She has been doing really well on veggies and she has only had a few organic store bought fruits. Using the Beaba Baby Cook is so easy and literally takes all the clean-up of a traditional food processor out. Here’s what I made today:

Apple Sauce –

3 Organic Red Delicious Apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1. Steam and puree until you have reached desired consistency. I divided the batch into thirds and mixed each with something different: plain, cinnamon and apple oatmeal.

Blueberry Apple Sauce –

1 Organic Red Delicious Apple, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup Organic Blueberries, rinsed.

1. Steam and puree until you have reached desired consistency

A variation I made on this recipe was by adding in organic oatmeal, see below for oatmeal recipe.

Peaches and Brown Rice –

3 Ripe, Organic Peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup brown rice cereal (see recipe below)

1. Steam and puree peaches. Peaches tend to be a little waterier than other fruits, by adding the brown rice it made it the perfect texture for Payton.

Organic Baby Oatmeal –

1/4 cup of organic ground oats (do NOT use instant or Quick Cook), ground in blender or food processor
3/4 cup – 1 cup water

1. Bring liquid to boil in saucepan. Add the oatmeal powder while stirring constantly.
2. Simmer for 10 minutes, whisking constantly until cooked.
3. Mix in formula or breast milk and fruits if desired and serve warm.

Organic Brown Rice Cereal with whole rice –

1/2 c. Organic Brown Basmati Rice

1 cup water

1. Bring liquid to boil in saucepan. Add the rice and stir.
2. Simmer for 20 minutes or according to package directions; stir 1/2 way through cooking time.

3. When rice is finished and a bit cool, add it in 1/2 cup measurements with liquid of your choice (breast milk, formula, water etc.) and puree as needed. Keep a watch as you puree so that the rice does not turn into paste!
4. Serve warm mixed with fruits, veggies and liquid of your choice.

** If you do not have a Baby Cook machine, cook all fruits for ten minutes using a steam basket in a saucepan.
