Butternut & Celery Puree

As my baby grows bigger I try out new recipes and every moment is exciting for both of us. He now knows when its time to make and eat food, and he often cannot wait for me to feed him. It's a beautiful journey.

This weekend, I made him Butternut and Celery Puree

Ingredients:

One large butternut

One branch of celery

Water

Method:

Peel butternut and dice it up into small cubes and place it into a medium-size pot.

Rinse and cut celery into small pieces and add to the butternut.

Add water

Boil until butternut is soft and allow to cool.

Blend them together until soft.

If you don't have a blender, you can mash them together, just make sure everything is soft enough for baby to eat.

Servings: Enough four a week, baby eats 2-3 tablespoons

Health benefits:
