{Tiny Tot Tuesdays} Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower for Babies and Toddlers

Pin It

I think anything with cheese in it will be a win for Bradley. He loved cheesy potatoes that I made for him recently (recipe coming soon) and grilled cheese is his new favorite lunchtime meal. I recently decided to add some cheese into mashed cauliflower I made him, and it definitely made the taste more desirable to him.  Who can blame him? Cheese makes everything better!

Ingredients

• 1 head organic cauliflower
• 1 cup organic cheddar cheese, shredded

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Rinse cauliflower well under cold water. Cut cauliflower into small pieces. Add to boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until cauliflower is very tender.

Drain cauliflower and add to a food processor. Process until smooth. Add cheese and continue to process until combined.

Allow to cool then serve to your baby with a spoon. Add formula or breast milk to thin out the consistency, if desired.

If saving for a later date, pour it into storage cups to freeze or refrigerate. You can refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for 30 days. Make sure you label your cauliflower! Once you are ready to serve, heat the refrigerated or frozen cauliflower up in the microwave and allow to cool to just warmer than room temperature. Add breast milk or formula to thin it out, if desired.

*Consult your pediatrician before feeding your baby solid foods and to see what amount/type of food you should give your child.
