Second Baby Food: Carrots and Broccoli image

This is a great combination for growing babies (6-9 months or older). You can mix up the veggies with what's in season or what you have around the house. I like to use green beans instead of broccoli sometimes. I make sure I label my zip-top bag with the date I made it! Make some on a free night to use for a few weeks!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sliced natural almonds
1 lb baby carrots
1 head broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets
2 tablespoons butter

Add the carrots, broccoli, broth or stock, salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are heated through and the stock is almost evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the toasted almonds and serve hot.
