Eating on his own...
Today we had quinoa made in water that was boiled with ginger. It had curry, lentils, and broccoli bits in it. We were working on using the spoon, but he definitely hasn’t mastered that skill yet. He ate half of that bowl. I can’t believe how much this kid eats!
How to make:
Slice up some ginger and boil it in water. Add the quinoa and cook. Once the quinoa is done, add lime, steamed lentils (I use the Trader Joe Lentils), and steamed diced broccoli.

Carrot and Potato Soup
This is one of Little T’s favorites. We make a big batch of it and eat it throughout the week.
Ingredients:
Two bags of Carrots
Small Potatoes (we use about 1 potato for every 3 carrots)
2 cloves garlic
1 chopped yellow onion
vegetable broth
cumin to taste
curry to taste
lime
salt and pepper to taste
First we put a bit of olive oil in the cooking pot and brown the onions and garlic. Once they’re finished, we add potatoes, carrots and spices and mix them together to get the spices to meld. Then we add the vegetable broth and simmer until the carrots and potatoes are soft (about 30-40 minutes).
Little T can probably eat it without being blended, but we like the consistency when it’s blended. We used a hand mixer to blend, and then added the lime. Taste the soup to see if you need to add more spices.
