Avocado

[LucyJones]

Weaning is going very slowly with nearly 7 month old dd but she does like avocado with banana. Is there anything else I could put with avocado that she might like? tia

can't think of anything offhand puree-wise, but it is good in sandwiches, with fingers of pitta, on toast etc

Creme fraiche?

roasted red pepper

Yum I could eat this myself. Just cut and paste it from google site.

thnaks everyone Sparkler - is that the first one something I could freeze or would it be all manky? Or do you think it would be horrid if left in the fridge overnight?

Ooh LucyJones I dont know about that one. Not very good at these freezing malarky sorry. Sounds yum though doesn't it?

I don't think you can really freeze banana or avocado - but I've just got that from recipies on preparing them individually.
