Well, the first green veggie was a major hit last night. I actually had Alex in my arms as I was finishing the prep work, and he saw the bowl of mush and whined for a taste before I even had him in the high chair. I will say that these were the most labor intensive of the foods I have made for him so far. Since I wanted to remove the shells, I first tried running them through the smallest gauge on my ricer. Ick, that didn't work at all. The peas just squirted all over the counter. So next I ran them through the largest gauge on the ricer. They went through, but so did about a third of the shells. I then had to re-run it through the middle gauge, which was just right. I think in the future I will still have to do two passes, though.
Peas, glorious peas! They are Cassie's favorite as well. Although Cassie's come from Gerber, not homemade! How do you have the time???
