Sprinting down the street
Since they are supposedly closing their doors, I thought I'd make my own version as this is Little One's new favorite food! This is a good size for little beaks too.
1 1/2 C couscous
2C Water
1/4C Juice
Dashes of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger
2T honey
1/2-1C of shredded carrot
1/4C (uncooked) Barley - cooked separately
1/4C (uncooked) split green peas - cooked separately
1/4-1/2C unsweetened, organic applesauce
Cook the barley and split peas ahead of time.
Add the juice, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and honey together in a med saucepan and bring to a boil - once boiling, add couscous and shredded carrot. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in barley, split peas, and applesauce.
Yields ~6 cups of cooked food. Easy to freeze
Really you can use any extra ingredients you like (fruit, veggies, seeds, etc). The smell of this reminded me of calypso spice flavor from beak appetit. I would have liked to add raisins (seemed to fit the flavor) but Little One doesn't like them so it would have been a waset. You could also "hide" veggies or fruit your fids wont eat in the form of organic baby food and just mix into the cooked couscous - just don't add too much.
If anybody has tried to make their own version with different fruits, veggies, flavors etc, post them too!
