Exploring new frontiers

I've hit a point where I'm not sure what to feed miss T, so we're in a rut.  Luckily our community shared agriculture share starts officially next week, so we'll have all kinds of new veggies to try out.  Her little system is so sensitive that random things (aka green beans, avocado, bananas, etc.) set her off and cause endless misery.  For the past two weeks I haven't introduced anything new.  I just was at a loss of what to even try next.  Well, this week they had a test drive of the CSA and gave us all spinach.  And cucumbers.  That, in combination with me running low on frozen food, and a big move looming over us, got me motivated to figure out my new-food-introduction plan for the upcoming weeks. 

So today I baked a couple of sweet potatoes and blended them with raw spinach.  In hindsight I probably should have steamed it at the very least, but I just threw it in raw.  With some water.  It blended pretty well, if you ignore the fact that the bottom of the canister wasn't screwed on completely and I ended up having spinach juice leak completely through the motor of my Baby Bullet and out the bottom of the machine, causing a moment of panic for 1) electrocution and 2) complete ruination of the machine.  You can breath easy though, it seems to have survived. 

Anyways, she loved the spinach and sweet potato combination.  I'll be giving that to her for the next few days, then introducing either raspberries or cucumbers.  I'm undecided yet which will come first, although I still need to complete my research of raspberries.  I'd always heard those shouldn't be introduced until after the 1st or 2nd birthday, but recently I've heard they are fine to give to kids after 6 months of age.  I also have a can of garbanzo beans, and read an article that listed those as a great food for babies due to the high level of protein.  So who knows, I may decide to go with those next.  Regardless, I'm excited to have a plan in place again and I'm sure she will be excited to have something other than sweet potatoes, peas, cauliflower, or mango :)
