Fennel, Peach + Pea Baby Food Puree
The most amazing thing happened to me a week or so ago, I got over my morning [all day] sickness! That’s right no more throwing up, no more nausea, no more naps at all hours of the day. After almost 5 months of being sick, I am finally better. This baby growing in my belly does love me after all.
I’m back!
And I’m back with even more energy then I had before I got pregnant.
This is making my husband very scared due to the amount of projects that are multiplying by the day. It is Spring. My ideas are just like rabbits. I mean who doesn’t need a vertical garden built against their garage this summer? There has to be time to refinish the table that I found in the alley last summer, right? Who doesn’t need to schedule time to spend rearranging all the cupboards in our kitchen? Nesting has hit me and I am going crazy. It’s cool.
I am also getting to everything that I have put on the back burner for all these months.
This recipe is one of them.
And I am sorry about that, because this recipe is amazing.
This puree is sweet with a cheeky kick from the licorice fennel, mixed with a healthy dose of peas, it is a puree that mom can be proud of and kiddo will eat up. I served this in a reusable pouch and my little one ate it up in no time at all. Smooth and refreshing,

Hi. This is very interesting recipe, can it be used with fennel spice instead?
I haven’t tried fennel, but give it a go and let me know what you think.

I saw this recipe in your post about constipation cures. You mentioned there that you could sub in pears instead of the fennel. How many pears would be needed? Thanks!!
I would sub in 2-3 pears depending on size.
I can’t find fennel anywhere. What can I substitute with? Could I use spinach?
You can use bananas, mangos, broccoli or zucchini instead of the fennel. Hope that helps.
I was quite surprised by this one! I’m not a fan of licorice flavor, but made it for my grandbaby anyway. I’m going to let her decide what she likes and doesn’t like. However this is very tasty.
