Recipes: Chicken & Apples

I've discovered the secret to adding meat to baby food, it's canned chicken.


Ingredients:

4 Golden Delicious Apples (peeled and diced)
1 (7oz) package of Cooked Premium White Chicken
1 teaspoon of Chinese 5 Spice (Apple Pie Spice or Pumpkin Pie Spice)
1 1/2 cups water
2 Tablespoons of Butter

Directions:

Add all of the ingredients to a pot and cook over med/low heat until apples are tender.
Drain but reserve the cooking liquid.  Add to processor and process, add some of the liquid if needed to help combine and smooth.
Divide into jars or ice cube trays, label/date and freeze.

I bought pre-made baby food!

Ok don't judge!! This is for Scientific research.

I've been having trouble getting Aeris to eat meat. I needed to find out if it's due to flavor or texture.
When I make baby food with meat it isn't smooth. Machine processed store bought food is very smooth. I'm trying to figure out how to improve the texture.
Turns out Aeris loved the store bought food which was a blow to my self esteem. I thought it was awful. I always taste her food first.
Next plan is to master the meat. ;)
