BABY LED WEANING

This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.

For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has no allergens.

STORAGE

I stored this in the fridge for 4 days, then transferred to the freezer. I transferred to a Souper Cubes for freezing!

To reheat I would either thaw in the fridge overnight then microwave, or just microwave from frozen.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Meat thermometer – I will never cook meat without using one! We have a expensive one because my husband cooks meat all the time, but this one is affordable and looks great. I like that it has printed on their the safe temperatures for meat so you never need to look it up!

Slow Cooker – this is our super basic slow cooker we have that I am LOVING! Simple and affordable.
