It's that time again! Time for The Baby Kitchen to decide what festive item we will add to our menu for the fall/winter season. As of this point we have narrowed it down to 3 possibilities all containing pumpkin, the perfect fall and holiday veggie!

Here are the contestants......

Pumpkin Red Lentil Stew- This stew is thick and so hearty! I am so pleased with how the lentils and pumpkin compliment each other. I finish this off with a touch of Baby Kitchen grown organic flat leaf parsley and it really brightens the dish and adds beautiful bright green flecks!

Pumpkin Cranberry Pie- Talk about holiday flavors!! This one is so fun! I have to work on the ratios to balance out the texture but the taste is there. This item has baked pumpkin, cranberry and just a hint of pumpkin pie spice to round it out.

Pumpkin Banana Cream Pie- This is just plain heaven. Baked pumpkin is blended with fresh banana, locally produced whole milk yogurt and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. I love how creamy this turned out.

I am having a really hard time deciding which one it will be. They are all so good but very different. I have a focus group scheduled to test these recipes for me and I should be adding the winner to the menu by October. We will only offer this new seasonal item from October 1st to December 31st so get it while it lasts!!

In other news: we will be tweaking some of our recipes to make them even more wonderful. Most of the tweaking will include the addition of fresh herbs for flavor and the health benefits they provide. One of the changes will be adding fresh ginger to the already famous Blueberry Pear and also adding fresh nutmeg to our Butternut Squash Corn Chowder. Your little eaters are going to develop such refined taste buds!

See you soon and remember to email me with any questions you have about our products!!
