An ever-expanding palate
Your baby may need time to get used to new tastes, flavors, and textures.
Experts say a baby needs to be introduced to a new food up to 10 different times before she decides
whether she likes it.
Mix and match cubes
If your baby does not like a particular taste, consider mixing it with a cube of
a different variety. Make sure you introduce each new variety separately to test for allergies (that's why
we kept them in separate cubes) and check with your pediatrician if you have any concerns.

A recipe idea for adults
Make the most
delicious meal using none other than HAPPYBABY Smarter Squash as a base for a pasta sauce:
1. Heat a little olive oil in a small saucepan
2. Add a small clove of garlic, crushed or finely minced—saute for a bit (don't let it brown).
3. Add 2 to 3 cubes of squash (straight from the freezer is fine), a sprinking of kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, and some dried sage.
4. Turn heat down to low, cover, and let cubes thaw and then heat up. Stir occasionally.
5. Serve tossed with angel hair pasta, and shavings of fresh parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
