Homemade Baby Food: Yellow Squash & Porridge

Yellow Squash (Crooked Neck Squash) & PORRIDGE

 

I pick it straight from my garden, chop it up into bite sized pieces and steam the vegetables until very tender.  My little girl loves this squash as a finger food, but her favorite way to eat this yummy vegetable is pureed with HOMEMADE BROWN RICE PORRIDGE.  Tonight I added ground Lentils to her rice cereal and she LOVED IT!
