Baby Food Adventures|Rice+Veg

Preparing food for 8 month old baby can be sometimes a struggle. On one hand there is this urge to try different thing every day or at least make each meal perfect and nutritious, and on the other, there is boredom. Repeatition. We have been prepping meals for Alice every single day from scratch for the past 3 months and while having steam cooker on the side cooking veggies for little one is great, you sometimes wish to just make everything in one pot. And thats how this recipe was born.

I was planning on cooking something risotto-like for few weeks now and timing seemed to be perfect. I've used a normal long grain rice, can of peeled tomatoes, some carrots and added spinach at the end. Since we're trying our best to keep Alice aways from proccessed foods, added sugar and salt, I haven't used any stock cubes or spices until her little portion was moved to the blender container.

I wasn't sure how she'd react to rice. She had tomatoes before and absolutely love carrots. My worries were unnecessary as she stormed thru the portion with the massive appetite and smile!
