1 slice of Turkey

squash

Blend all of the above Thanksgiving food together for a yummy meal. 

If your baby is eating finger foods, simply cut the turkey into small pieces and arrange in baby’s dish with the squash, sweet potato and applesauce. 

 

Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

Taking my favorite scalloped potato recipe below, we changed it up and used sweet potatoes, nutmeg, cinnamon & a pinch of ginger. Substitutions will be noted with in case you want to try this with white potatoes!

Ingredients:
8 medium sized sweet potatoes
5 tablespoons - use butter
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons mayo.
2 cups water & 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
quick shake of salt
cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger to your taste

How to make it:

In a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish, layer the potatoes.

In a saucepan, melt the butter; stir in flour until smooth.
Gradually add broth/water, mayonnaise, and spices.
Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thick and bubbly
(we find this takes about 15 minutes on medium heat and whisking every few minutes)

Pour mixture over potatoes.
Sprinkle with (If not opposed to) sugar & cinnamon (mix cinnamon & sugar and then sprinkle on)

Cover and bake at 325 degrees F for 2 hours or until tender

This comes out sooooo soft and yummy! Your 8 month old + baby would easily be able to eat this as finger food! Make sure to smoosh or cut into managable bits!

Apple Pie
Combine cereal, yogurt and applesauce together adding a dash of cinnamon,  top with powdered Cheerios or Oatie O’s and mix well.  For additional fun and enjoyment, let your baby do the blending of her own Apple Pie!
