Baby Food - Fruity Moroccan Chicken

While flipping through the Baby Healthy Eating Planner, a book I got from the library, I saw this interesting recipe which I thought would be a good start to get our little cherub exposed to more food. Unfortunately, she didn't care much for it and barely took 5 mouthfuls before retching everything up. *Sigh* So in the end, Mommy and Daddy had it for lunch.

Hubby ate it with angel hair pasta while I had mine with couscous. It was yummy, albeit being slightly sweet for adult taste. Another plus in preparing this dish is that all the prep work are done using a food processor.

I like this book for the recipes in the book are meant for food which can actually be eaten by adults too! If anyone has the misconception that baby food are yucky food, think again. Erm, maybe I am trying to comfort myself here, cos I foresee that I would be eating quite a bit of her food if I am to try more recipes from this book! Haha...
