Cauliflower, Spinach & Potato Puree



My daughter is usually fairly adventurous when it comes to eating and trying new foods with the big exception of green vegetables... She recently picked up the word "done" and time after time whether its avocado or broccoli as soon as she sees it on her plate she announces "done!" As a parent it is hard not to be discouraged by this behavior, especially when moments later she starts signing "hungry"! So I am very excited to report that today we stumbled upon a break thru with Cauliflower, Spinach & Potato Puree.

Cauliflower, Spinach & Potato Puree:

2-3 medium yukon gold potatoes
3-4 chunks cauliflower
1 bag fresh or frozen spinach
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp curry powder
sea salt to taste

1. Steam cook potatoes and cauliflower.
2. When potatoes & cauliflower are beginning to be folk tender add spinach on top. Keep steaming until spinach is dark green.
3. Combine remaining ingredients with steamed vegetables in a food processor.
4. Cool and serve.

After lunch I filled an empty ice cube tray with the leftovers and stuck it in the freezer for future meals. Maybe next time I will try serving this over some brown rice or water it down a bit with milk and try it as a soup.
