This Chunky Peach, Raspberry + Quinoa Baby Food Puree is a crave-worthy puree that baby will love. Great for babies 6 months and up – either Stage 2 or Stage 3 baby food.

I am almost four months into this two-kid thing, and I am still trying to figure it all out. It’s like a large floor puzzle that you know all fits together, but you lose the picture and are left scratching your head trying to fit it all together piece by piece. 

One thing that is stumping me [please let me know if you have any ideas here] is when you go to the grocery store, where do you put both the toddler and the baby? Right now, I put Frankie in her car seat and in the main basket while Ellie still likes to sit in the top basket. So this arrangement works out great, except you don’t have anywhere to put the food. I try to shove all the food around the sides of the car seat, but that only works for the small stuff. Yesterday, I ended up just putting a carton of eggs, salad mix, and carrots ON TOP of Frankie [who was sleeping and didn’t seem to mind a bit].

It’s a mess.

As we walk into the grocery store and I desperately try to figure out what I forgot to put on my list that I thought I would remember, Ellie starts going crazy. It’s crazy! Like screaming and pointing and laughing and almost dragging the cart with her. I looked over to see what the big deal was, and there they were – a couple of rouge peaches hanging out, just waiting for us to grab them up. They looked lonely, and I willing to let them come home with us and be our friends.

I am still unsure if I should be impressed or sorry that I have made my little one such a food freak.

But have no fear, you do not need to have a food freak, ripe peaches or raspberries to make this puree. Frozen peaches and raspberries will work just fine. I make no promises that this delicious mouth candy puree will not turn your little one into a little food freak.

Have a great weekend!
