Baby Food Tasting

 8/12/22 Pre shabbas dinner! Once Upon a Farm Organic Fruit & Veggie Blend Mama Blueberry I found these at the Heirloom Giant but have also picked them up at Whole Foods.  It's a good cold non-dairy option as we are still trying to avoid dairy.  I started calling food "Yum Yum" which Rafi pronounces "Mama"; when I pulled out the Mama Blueberry he immediately said "Ma Ma". The 50 calories is about half of what other pouches offer so we'll need to supplement.  Apple is the primary ingredient followed by sweet potato; blueberry is actually third with purified water and coconut milk as the only other ones. Charles: If blue apple had a taste.  The blueberry color overwhelms everything else; the apple taste overwhelms everything else. Brenna: It's not bad.  I like it.  You feel like the blueberry texture, but there is a lightness - can taste the coconut milk.  It's like a lighter smoothie.  Apple juice and an aftertaste at the end. Rafi: <...

 8/3/22 Once Upon a Farm Baby - Organic Plant-Rich Meals - Quinoa, Banana, Spinach & Coconut Butter with Chia Seed This was another of the frozen meals I got from Whole Foods.  We had two left and Brenna picked this one to serve Rafi.  I was home early because I was sick (Covid negative!) so decided to make him a meal.  Like the previous blog entry, this comes out of the  microwave very hot.  These are food items he has had before.  I also added a picture of what the finished product looks like. Charles - I smell the banana.  I could really only pick up the plain quinoa taste.  It didn't seem special to me.  I don't think it was the cold telling me it was plain. Brenna - I like it.  I like it a lot.  I would eat that normally.  Tasted buttery.  Hearty but light.  Comforting. Rafi: <wants more>  He had about half of it at night and we would finish it the next day cold.  He was also sick so it w...

7/15/22 Once Upon a Farm Baby - Organic Plant-Rich Meals - Mango, Carrot, Navy Bean & Coconut Butter (Don't forget the with Tumeric) So don't kill the mommy - this has Mango. I was in Whole Foods and saw these near Rafi's special pea milk.  We had this brand before with their refrigerated pouches.  These looked fun.  It's hard to find kosher baby food with a good amount of protein as the meat they use is treif.  When I went to go pay for five different packages, nothing came up on the scanner.  Eventually the manager just gave t hem to me for free.  Hopefully for them they get that bug fixed. I took the microwave method and it comes out VERY hot after the five minutes.  Be careful. Rafi has had these food items before... I think... I can't recall if he has had turmeric though. Brenna: It smells like coconut and looks colorful.  Please don't kill me by feeding it to me. Charles: The individual items (mango, sweet potato, and navy beans) tasted ...
