P.E.A.

About a month ago I tried to give Austin Gerber peas to see if he liked green veggies. I like to try out the Gerber stuff to make sure he likes something before I waste my time making something he hates. Well maybe it was a bad day, I don't know, but Austin through up the peas. This is a kid that likes pretty much everything. I smelled the peas and they stunk so I couldn't really blame him. So I got out my Baby Love book and found this awesome recipe. It was a success and the little man is now eating his green veggies. Here is the recipe in case you want to try it out on your little ones.

Peas, Edamame, Apples
Stage 2 food

Serving Size:
Makes 38 ounces.

Ingredients:
•1/2 pound frozen peas
•1/2 pound frozen (out of shell) edamame (soybeans)
•2 apples
•8 ounces apple juice

Method:
Fill a 4-quart pot halfway with water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

While water is coming to a boil get your “green veggie shocking station” ready. You’ll need:

•Colander
•Large bowl filled with ice and cold water. You want as much ice as possible.

Peel the apples and then remove the seeds and stems with a melon baller. Cut in half and then cut each half into sixths.

Pour the peas and edamame into the colander. Run cool water over them to get rid of any ice crystals (which will allow the boiling water to come back to a boil faster).

Pour the peas, edamame, and apple into the colander. Run cold water over them and pour them into the ice bath. Allow to chill for 3 minutes. Pour back into the colander and pick out any remaining ice.

Pour mix in the blender and add the apple juice. Puree until smooth.

Pour into two-three ice cube trays.

Wrap and freeze.
