Winning Entry for Feb/March/AprilThanks to everyone who sent in their entries over the last three months!Our favourite was this interesting idea from Kristina Starnes in the United States, which combines nutritious avocado and banana with basil, forming an easy to eat finger food. It may sound like a strange combo, but basil tastes lovely with these fruits and we're sure this simple dish is something your baby will enjoy!
Congratulations, Kristina, on your win - and thank you very much for sharing your recipe idea with us and our readers :)
1 avocado, pitted
1. In a processor or blender blend the avocado, basil and banana. Add a tbsp of water if needed.
We all enjoyed this one..even the adults!!
6-8 oz salmon fillet
1. Peel the sweet potato and chop into even sized chunks (the smaller the quicker it will cook).
Other favourite recipes from Feb/March/April's competitionYour Baby Food Ideas - Protein Rich RecipeFrom Javeria in Pakistan
2 tbsp quick oatmeal
1. Heat olive oil a little into a pan.
Now you can blend the mixture when cool. Add salt and black pepper to taste. DD loves it because she doesn't like sweet tastes. It's a protein rich meal. I sometimes add cheese to enhance the taste.
From Sarah in the United States
apple sauce (natural, no added sugar)
1. Use equal parts applesauce and oatmeal. Mix thoroughly.
From Laurel in the United States
1/4 cup fresh pineapple
1 bag of dried tropical mix (pineapple, mango, kiwi) may be substituted instead of the first 3 ingredients If using dried mix, steam until fruits are rehydrated. If using fresh/frozen, add all together in blender & puree to desired consistency.
From Laurel in the United States
4 cups frozen green beans or equal amount of fresh
Steam the first 6 ingredients together until tender. Add diced tomatoes and puree.
From Katarina in Australia
1 small handful whole meal Ciabatta bread, cubed
This is actually a quick microwave lunch I used to prepare for my 8 month old. She's now two and still loves it!
1. Dice the tomatoes finely and place in a microwave dish, along with the seasoning, (if any) olive oil, and water.

From Liz in South Africa
1 cup fresh corn, chopped cucumber & peas (mixed)
