Thanksgiving Treats for Tots
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 by Jeannie Fleming-Gifford
Mmmm...Thanksgiving. Whether you are heading into the kitchen or packing to go to Grandma's for the holiday weekend, you're probably anticipating the good food associated with the Thanksgiving holiday.
I'm doing a little bit of both...in the kitchen today, on the road tomorrow.
There's the pumpkin pie, and pumpkin bread, sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, turkey and stuffing...did I mention pumpkin pie? Oh yes, pumpkin pie...especially Grandma Gifford's recipe.
This year, I am thinking of all the good fixins' I'm going to be enjoying. Then there's my munchkin. She's well into the "big-people food stage" now, but I specifically remember that first Thanksgiving when she was beginning to eat solids. She wasn't quite ready for eveything that was a part of our family's annual Thanksgiving feast. At that time, I felt bad about opening a jar of baby food (even if it was organic and made from all ingredients deemed "healthy and pure"). Thus began my search for alternatives.
One of my finds came from a site called www.wholesomebabyfood.com/ and a few (even sounds good to me) recipes: www.wholesomebabyfood.com/babythanksgivingrecipes.htm.
Check them out.
Happy cooking...and happy, happy Thanksgiving.
