Feeding a Plant-Based Baby: What Willow Eats (9-10 months)
Let me tell you – this girl loves to EAT. Anything, honestly. She is so happy with whatever we put in front of her. We are just moving right along, pretty much sharing almost everything with her as long as we break it up a bit. She loves to taste mama and dada’s food… she gets very excited when we share. It hurts my heart in the best way. Love this kid.
Onto the food.
White bean/basil pancakes, broccoli, and avocado.Paprika-baked sweet potatoes, strawberries, and a teething cracker with peanut butter.Mixed berry pancakes.Lentil fritters, sweet potato, and avocado.Berry pancakes and strawberries.Mango, spinach, date, and banana smoothie date!

Side of avocado.Strawberries, baked sweet potato, and avocado.Banana pancakes, strawberries, and peaches.Banana pancake and blueberries.A crappy pic of the last bit of Willow’s first vegan mac and cheese – homemade with potatoes, onion, carrots, garlic, and lots of nooch.
