Baby Food Tasting

9/18/22 Happy Baby: Apples, Guavas & Beets Another Stage 2 as we are trying to clear stuff out.  Rafi and Brenna both had this before but I never tried it.  Odd combination of flavors/ingredients but it seems to work. Charles: Definitely taste the apple.  Very smooth.  Good balance of sweet and tart. Brenna: Fruity, tropical apple sauce but less apple. Rafi: <wants more>  Though he seems a little picky today and doesn't want to finish it until dinner (we started this over lunch).   Kosher Pareve under the OU.

 9/7/22 First Choice Organic Oatmeal Plum & Pear We haven't posted a First Choice one since the first post.  I noticed this has 160 calories - a lot more than the 90-100 calorie pouches.  I guess that should be expected with this much sugar.  We still have a lot of "Stage 2" foods so I figured let's clear one out. Charles: Very tart.  Texture is pear/apple sauce but the taste is more plum. Brenna: Eh.  Fine.  Has like no flavor.  Like an apple that tastes a little overripe but with apple sauce texture.    Rafi: <wants more>  Though he was temporarily                distracted by the fresh banana we were feeding him            as well.    Kosher Pareve under the OU and the Central Rabbinical    Conference

9/4/22 Cerebelly Smart Bars & Peppa Pig - Carrot Raisin Rafi learned the work "Bah" for "Bar".  He loves his bars. Also on a fun side note, I am reading a biography of King George III and one of the footnotes noted a location is now where Peppa Pig World in England is. Raisins are pretty low and carrots pretty lower on the ingredient list.  Dates, oats, and sweet potatoes are ahead.  Always read ingredients. We still like this brand because it seems healthier than other options.  I've looked at their other food options like their pouches, but unfortunately they are not kosher. Now I just got an add for Cerebelly on Facebook. C: Tastes like Rosh Hashanah - the sweet carrot and raisin concoction of tzimmus. B: Tastes like a healthier version of an oatmeal cookie.  Sweet, taste cinnamon, other grains.  Tastes like fall. Rafi: <wants more> Kosher Pareve but Dairy Equipment  under the OU.

8/14/22 I tried posting this a few weeks ago, but there were several issues. Happy Baby: Nutty Blends Organic Apples with 1 tsp Walnut Butter As far as we can tell, Rafi has not had walnut.  After this, two more days. Charles: Just apple flavored.  Nothing else.  I guess that's the point - limit the amount of walnut. Brenna: Tangy.  Now that now I know it's walnut, I can taste the walnut.  Interesting, different mix of textures.  Not bad.  Kind of fallish. Rafi: <wants more>  At only 3 ounces (though 100  calories), he still wanted something else. Kosher Pareve under the OU.
