Fruity Ideas



The avocado, the chip's most awesome fruit sidekick, and Benjamin's newest flavor.  There were a lot of recipes out there, but I figured on this adventure, I would just throw it in the old food processor and see what happens.  Success!  The first attempt required no extra liquid, the second attempt I threw in an ounce of formula.  With the first attempt, the avocado was really ripe, while the second try, the avocado was a little soft, and nothing like the squishy-ness of the first.



Each avocado made about 4 oz. (I broke them up into two 2 oz. containers.)  While not the cheapest baby food item I have made, at about $.40 a jar, it is something unusual, which I haven't seen at the store.  Benjamin really enjoyed the avocado, and it's definitely in the rotation, especially when I'm making guacamole for the family.
