The doctor said to feed the baby salsa. My eyes popped out, and my husband’s ears perked up. What?! Her reasoning was that babies adopt the tastes of their families. Since their tastes develop most in the first 18 months of life, she continued, that was the time to expose them to as many tastes – our tastes – as possible, salsa included.

I so wish I had introduced spicier foods earlier. But we have severe food allergies in our home so we kept food for babies quite simple, hoping to avoid the allergies in the younger sibling. I keep telling them someday they’re going to LOVE onion! I figure if they don’t like the main entree, there’s always bread and applesauce to fill up on!

Your PB Chicken has become a regular at our house. Thank you. I’d tried a couple of other recipes with the same premise but something about this one is better than the others plus everyone likes it! Roasted chicken, potatoes and broccoli are on the menu frequently too – we roast the broccoli with the potatoes. The taco bake sounds good too.
