Pumpkin Applesauce Oatmeal

Playing with recipes is great, but sometimes you need a sure thing when it comes to feeding your baby.  Pumpkin applesauce oatmeal is a simple thing that has never failed with my little guy.

Combine ~1/4 cup applesauce with ~3 Tbsp canned pumpkin
Microwave for about 25 seconds
Add a few shakes of cinnamon
Add oatmeal cereal to the consistency your baby likes.
Mix well, and let your baby enjoy!

Fruity Brown Rice

This recipe is fun to make.  I love the smell as all the flavors combine while it simmers!  It's also very versatile so you can change it to your baby's preferences, or what you have in your cupboard!

1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup pumpkin puree (or you can substitute or add peach, pears, plums, etc.)
Pinch of cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently until creamy and well blended.

This makes about three meals for my little guy, or one full Nuk baby bowl.
For babies about 9 months +
