Pear & Peach Puree
These last few weeks have been absolutely CRAZY!
Wedding in Walla Walla? Check.
Trip to my hometown in Eastern Washington? Check.
Camping at Lake Roesiger? Check.
Wedding on Vashon Island? Check.
Visit from my in-laws from Arizona? Check.
Who planned all this? Oh right, that was me… Unfortunately, it seems to have caught up with us. Poor Hanky Pank got his first stuffy nose, which turned out to be a full-blown cold. The worst was when his little baby voice got hoarse!
Along with Chicken Noodle Soup Baby Food, I also made this Pears and Peaches Puree to help him feel a little better. Hanky Pank loves pears and peach season is almost over. Plus, both are a good source of Vitamin C and fiber. Luckily, I made both of these before I also got the cold. So hopefully we’ll both feel better soon. In the mean time, try this easy and delicious fruit puree!
