The new items are these triangle ravioli stuffed with butternut squash and a hint of brown sugar. I find them absolutely delicious and hope Juju does too (I got them in the fresh pasta section at Trader Joe's). I sauteed leeks and mushrooms in a small amount of butter and oil and layered them with the 5 ravioli (I just boiled them in water). I also threw in some steamed broccoli and sprinkled a little parmesan cheese on top. My guess is Juju will pick around the ravioli and only eat the veggies but maybe she'll figure out ravioli is really just dressed up pasta and she'll gobble them up (she never has any trouble eating pasta). I am also including grapes and cantaloupe plus a small bowl of Greek honey yogurt with pomegranate seeds in case she doesn't dig the ravioli triangles. And, my ReSnackIt bags came in the mail today (finally!) so I stuffed a few edamame pods inside. The ReSnackIt bags are different from the SnackTaxis in that they feel more laminated and ready for food (like I am not worried about getting them wet) but there is still something slightly "homemade" about them. I can't make a final ruling on which one I like better until Juju has had some more time with these.
This lunch is pretty healthy but lest you think I am a super-organic-no-pesticides-no-spray-health-food-only mom, let me clue you in to lunch today. We ate at Johnny Rockets and Juju's lunch consisted of a mini hamburger bun dipped in ketchup, half of a mini hamburger patty (also used for lots of dipping in ketchup), 3 french fries, 2 pickles, and about 6 ounces of her first ever (I think) chocolate shake. Sorry, no photo. I'm definitely not winning mom of the year in the food category but I do think it's fun to shake things up a little bit (no pun intended). She can't eat mushrooms for every meal. . .
