Pear + Apple Sauce Baby Boy B

Happy {Delish} Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to tackle the upcoming week. If you are new here read below for a re-cap on what {Delish} Monday is all about....

Giving my readers a simple, healthy recipe they can whip up for their family and baby. A fun recipe where you can puree it to your babies liking...as well as leave it whole and tasty for the rest of your family members. I came up with this concept because I found myself making my son a different meal than my own every day. I was a tired momma who wanted to make my babies food from scratch...so I started making things we could both enjoy. Take a look back at the recipes I have posted in our 'Baby Boy Food' page.

Even though my son is well past the smooth puree stage I find fruit sauces such as apple or pear make for good, quick snacks. Although buying apple sauce from the store is the simpler route, I urge you to make your own and freeze it in small containers.This way you can make your own flavors by mixing different fruits and spices. Here is one of our favorite fruit sauces!
