Little Recipes: Zucchini Pizza

This recipe is straight from Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron. I referenced this book multiple times a day when the twins first started eating solids. She's so comprehensive in everything you need to know about feeding solids. And now that I have toddlers (wahhhhh) there's hundreds of EASY recipes. 

It's literally as easy as it looks and seems silly to write it down but I always need exacts when I first try a recipe. 

Zucchini Pizza Bites

1 zucchini 

Marinara sauce 

Mozzarella cheese 

Slice zucchini to 1/4 inch or so, line them on foil lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Top with marinara and cheese! Bake at 350 for 15 or until the zucchini is soft. If I remember I'll sprinkle some wheatgerm or flaxseed on before the mozzarella for a healthy extras boost.

I was too slow getting a picture of the finished product but Camille says "it's a pizza mama delicioso!"

Little Recipes: Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup Quinoa

1 tbsp butter

As much cheese, broccoli, and peas as you desire :)

(you can add any vegetable, I've done cooked red pepper too. I made it with mozzarella cheese once as that's what was on hand and it didn't have as good of a flavor as with cheddar cheese)

Melt the butter in a large skillet, add quinoa and coat with butter just for a minute or two. Pour in broth, cover and bring to boil. Once boiling turn to low and let simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, around 20 minutes. Once the quinoa is done, remove from heat and add the cooked vegetables and cheese and give it a stir! 

There are tons of possibilities to this recipe depending on what you have on hand and taste preferences.

This would be Maisie and Camille looking for crumbs after stuffing their faces. I promise I feed them plenty. They'd also just rather have the freedom to roam and eat as they please. Unfortunately, I do have have some rules in this house.

Anyway, most of my baby recipes, of which I'll be sharing favorites here, are inspired from people I'm following on instagram.

Here's some of my favorites:

The last one is by far my favorite and where I found the other three. It helped me SO much after the girls moved on from rice cereal when I needed some fresh ideas.  Introducing solids was SO much fun and continues to be a lot of fun as they try and react to new foods.  I know they're young in their picky toddlerhood but so far they are willing to take at least one bite everything!

Throwback to first meal, rice cereal and avocado!
