Good question! I'm having a lot of fun with the winter produce available right now. I really enjoy exposing Julian to new foods and flavors. Most of the vegetables he is enjoying aren't available in commercial baby food. So far Julian has experienced sweet potatoes, peas, apples, zucchini, butternut and acorn squash, pumpkin, pears, avocado, bananas, mango, cranberries, blueberries, cherries, and carrots. The best part, though, is since each food is frozen into individual one ounce cubes, I can mix different, complimentary flavors together at meal times. Some of his favorite combos so far are pumpkin banana, apple blueberry, & squash and pears. Me and Paul get to eat whatever he doesn't finish!
I'm having difficulty finding a cereal that he'll eat. We started with the rice, and he refuses it. He'll eat some of the mixed whole grain cereal by Happy Bellies, so I try to sneak that into at least one meal. I just bought some oatmeal, so we'll see how that goes tomorrow.
My plan for the business is to offer a few of the flavors first and see how we do with sales. Any input on what I should offer first? I was thinking 5-7 flavors that are always available, and maybe a weekly special with something that is in season/local.
