SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH

Sauteed Patty Pan Squash image

Rarely can you find patty pan (aka scalloped) squash in the grocery store. However, many farmers markets have them. In Texas, it seems that every farmers market is overflowing with squash come June. However, if you can't find them, any summer squash will do. I also have made this recipe using yellow squash and zucchini and it was quite delicious. The freshness of the ingredients scream "summer".

ZUCCHINI BABY FOOD

Zucchini Baby Food image

Simple zucchini puree for one of your baby's first foods. The rule of thumb is to give your baby a new food for 2 to 3 days before introducing another to rule out any potential allergies. Once you've given zucchini for 2 to 3 days, you can combine it with another vegetable you've already introduced, such as carrot.
