It didn't hit me until I'd finished feeding the babies and was preparing lunch for my husband. I asked him as he was running up the stairs if he wanted some zucchini slices I'd steamed in my Beaba to go with the the salami chunks clutched in his fist. He looked at me thoughtfully, and agreed.
I'd just finished feeding our twin 15-month-old babies a mediterranean vegetable yogurt puree, followed by rot kohl, then Bavarian blue cheese over steamed zucchini, finished with a peach puree. They were content with the meal and ready to get out of their highchairs. I kept them distracted while I waited for my husband's verdict on lunch.
After he finished his salami, zucchini and blue cheese
[his addition] stacker, he cooed about the great combination of flavors. The zucchini mellowed out the strong flavors of the blue cheese and salami, though each had a distinct note that blended well together, with interesting texture.
I had just been looking for something to replace the bread I'd just used up in our baked french toast brunch. Steamed, sliced zucchini was the answer. Apparently, it was a good find. Then I realized, they had eaten a variety of flavors and textures, all in one meal. And had horsed down their meal.
I'VE ARRIVED!!
OK, every day is a new day, and tomorrow they might reject every thing I place before them [for teething, or tired or toddler reasons]. But today? They unabashedly ate every creation I'd put before them. Unofficially: Baby Foodies in 'da house!
