Urban Babies Wear Black
Let's wheel the orbit out for a skinny vanilla latte play date and tour a museum. I love the tongue-in-cheek facetious tone. Thank you Michelle Sinclair Colman for reminding everyone you can raise your kids without a dreaded minivan

Baby Food
YOU NEED:
- Prune Cinnamon Apple:
- 3 Red or blush apples
- 9 Prunes
- Cinnamon
- Yogurt (optional)
- Zucchini Potato Baby Food:
- 1 ½ cup cubed zucchini
- 1 ½ cup cubed potato
- Salt
- Parsley
- 1.) Prune Cinnamon Apple:
Wash and core 3 apples. If you don’t have an apple corer (which most of us don’t) just use a knife to cut out the center, starting at the stem and working your way down as best possible. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon inside cored area and over skin. Stuff 3 prunes inside each apple. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350° for about 30-40 minutes or until apples are very soft. Remove from oven and cut apples in half. Place prunes and apples (with about half skins still on) in blender with 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth.
* Optional: add ¼ cup plain yogurt to mixture and blend for the creamy delicious version. - 2.) Zucchini Potato Baby Food:
Peel and cube potatoes and put to boil. Partially peel zucchini and cube up. Sauté zucchini in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and parsley. Cover and cook on medium low until very soft. Puree potatoes and zucchini in blender or food processor with 2/3 cup vegetable broth or water.
Homemade Baby Cereals
Ingredients:
Brown Rice (Rice Cereal)
Oatmeal (for Oatmeal Cereal)
Directions:
1. Grind the rice or oatmeal in the blender to make a fine powder. This will take a few minutes depending on how good your blender is. The rice is a little more difficult to get finely ground.
2. When you are finished, you should have rice powder and oatmeal powder.
3. This step is not totally necessary, but you can sift the powder to make it even finer. I did this with the rice powder because my blender isn’t great and there were still some chunks in it. I found the cereal came out much smoother in the end. But, you could skip this step if you want.
4. Most recipes I found called for 1/4 cup powder and 1 cup water, but I like to double it so that I have lots of extras that I can freeze.
5. Boil 2 cups water and then add 1/2 cup of the powder. Whisk frequently for 10 minutes. Then, you are done!
6. You can save the extra powder for later.
