We have moved on to our 2nd veggie! I decided to go with peas because they're packed with nutrients and are more starchy than other vegetables in stage one and Faith needs more substance - since we took out the brown rice because of her allergic reaction.
First, I gave her a serving of squash (I asked Daniel to give her one at lunch - and he didn't) to mainly make sure she would eat something she liked - just in case the peas backfired. Then, we cooked up some frozen peas and tried 'em out! (Recipe at the bottom of the post)

| She's a champion jumper! |
 |
| The anticipation! (note the leftover squash to help her get used to the new veggie) |
 |
| Not quite sure what is in my mouth... |
 |
| Maybe I'll take some more! |
 |
| Gobbling it up! |
 |
| I'm clearly not quick enough for her. |
 |
| Mmmmm! |
 |
| Who wants to lick the spoon?? |
 |
| Faith is done and Mommy gets the leftovers! Yummm! |
By the end of dinner, she had 3 servings (including her 1 squash)! I think she definitely needs to start eating at lunch. Now, I just need to nag Daniel some more until he does it.
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup water
Boil 1C of water and add peas. Bring back to a 2nd boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 7 minutes (less of tougher, more for smushier). Drain and rinse.
Put a small amount into the Magic Bullet and add about half as much water as you did peas into the cup. Blend for 30-40 seconds and check consistency. I added a little more water and then blended about 40 more seconds to get it very smooth.
Some suggest to strain the hulls of the peas, but I didn't want to waste food so I just decided to add more water and blend in small amounts.
