Hmmmm... Jackson loves sweet potatoes with little bits of diced carrots, so maybe some sweet potato/carrot puree? Peas and carrots is an old classic. You could also mix fruits and veggies (like sweet potatoes and squash with apples or pears).

When Jackson would give us a fit about a new vegetable or something, we'd mix in just a little bit of apple sauce, and he'd gobble it up. Then, he'd end up eating the plain veggie with no issue. But, he had no problem with green beans and apples mixed together. (I realize that's not what you asked about - sorry.)

Also, I think at this point you can start adding a little spice to stuff - like some nutmeg or cinnamon, to give it a little different dimension. There was an article about what spices to add to what foods in either Cookie or Parents a couple months ago. I'll look for that.

Hmm let's see

Peach/apple & blueberry, green beans & pear, carrots & apple, tofu & anything, mango & papaya or pineapple, spinach & potato, lentils & rice, chicken & apples.. we did so many different combinations for Jonah.

I noticed that plain yogurt or banana helped him ease into foods he didn't like.. just mix some in. He LOVED plain yogurt & sweet potato.

That's what I needed thanks. Some combo ideas, I'm not very creative.

Do you have one of those portable food grinders? We took it on vacation, and was able to grind up whatever we were eating.

I used to take instant mashed potatoes and heat up a can of condensed Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup without adding the water to the soup. I'd combine them in a bowl together and I had an instant little dinner. My son is 4 now and he still asks for it. Now I add a can of mixed vegetables to the soup, drained and heated with the condensed soup.

Like vegetables, carrots, like you said sweet potatoes, green, beans and that's all...if you want to put chicken sauce on the potatoe that's fine.

yes those mini food grinders are perfect for making baby food; we kept one on the counter and used it every day to turn whatever we were eating into food for the baby in it, adding a bit of water to make it a smooth paste of course. Most babies start with the simple fruits(pear,apple,banana; many babies don't like peaches so I heard to try them last), and then try the simple veggies(peas, green beans, squash; I heard t try sweet potato last because it has the most complex carb.) I did the rice and then oatmeal baby cereal in my eldest son's bottle from 3 months up, and he was eating baby food(jar food) from 3 weeks up. He was the hungriest little guy I'd ever seen, and I still haven't seen his appetitie beat yet- yet he was and still is a skinny kid! Lol! Anyways, I like the food chopper and adding milk(after 12 months) or water/formula/breast milk before that. Wishes of 'Happy Eating' to your baby!
