{sticky baby rice balls}

Im always excited to try a new recipe for G, now that she is old enough to eat more solids!

G likes anything she can feed herself... meaning she does not like to be spoonfed, which can be tough sometimes.  She really likes the Plum organics baby puree pouches though, because she can hold it & squeeze it herself. & they are nice to have on the go! Whoever invented those pouches is a GENIUS! They are perfect for the baby who does not want to be fed with a spoon, like G.

I just recently heard about the Infantino Squeeze station , it enables you to make your own fresh baby food pouches! Im hoping to get one sometime in the near future so that we can give it a try! 

Has Anyone tried the squeeze station yet? 

What are your thoughts?

When G is not eating a puree pouch, she is eating solids that she can pick up & put into her own mouth.

Some of G's favorite solids to eat are:

cooked Sweet potato chunks

Cooked butternut squash chunks

Firm tofu chunks

cooked carrot slices

kidney beans

Cooked rice

Banana chunks

cooked apple pieces

Peach chunks

Mango chunks

watermelon & cantelope chunks

As you can see, we have tried quite a few different things with her. She's a good little eater. 

As of right now, @ almost 9 months old, she eats one solid food meal a day at night, plus a couple random snacks during the day. {Usually a little bit of a puree pouch or a baby mum mum} I still nurse her 6-7 times a day, as she is still learning to eat her solids! 

I have really been trying to introduce different flavor combinations.

This is my latest recipe

Its pretty darn good too. I kept eating the rice balls as i made them :) 

{Baby rice balls}

first you are going to need cooked rice. 

White, brown, whichever you prefer! I prefer brown, but I used white because we were out of brown.

Next, place your warm cooked rice in a food processor or blender & pulse a couple of times.

Then add your choice of other ingredients & blend until it becomes a texture that your baby can easily eat.

I added: Carrots, apples, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, tofu & a little bit of cinnamon. {G loooves cinnamon!}

after it is all blended, take out small spoonfulls & roll them into balls. 

As they cool they become more firm & stay intact

Store in an air tight container in your fridge! 

Super easy

G has really enjoyed them a lot! she ate about 10 of them last night! Little piggy :) 

Happy Friday!
