    @swurlygurl: I am not anti-canned foods though I prefer fresh or frozen... but it's not practical to make my own black beans! Thanks for the suggestions!

    @daniellemybelle: I wouldn't worry about being messy, kiddos touching/squishing their food is one of the ways they explore/learn about new food. I think it's super important for them to learn about different textures. It would be a shame to not give her avocado or banana, since usually babies love them and avocado is such a good source of fat!

    My LO loves the spinach gnocchi from weelicious, and the chickpea patties from the BLW cookbook.

    @QBbride: Thanks for the recipes! Don't worry - we still give her plenty of variety, I would just like some less messy options to rotate in

    @QBbride: oh I made those gnocchi- they were so tasty and my Lo hardly ate any :(. It's ok, I ate them myself. Really yummy and she did eat a few.

    @irene: made the sweet potato pancakes today! I shredded the zucchini bc it's too much trouble to get out the food processor, and I think it would have been better if it was actually puréed, but they were still very good and C ate a bunch. They will be great to take out since it's much less messy than many veggies!

    @Foodnerd81: good to know!!! Yes I just put the steamed sweet potatoes, steamed zucchini, banana, water, and some blueberries in the blender all in one go. When it is ready I just pour it into the pancake mixture with eggs and milk and all. Can not thank hellobee enough for that recipe now I am like a machine making those pancakes while LO eats them like a machine lol
