I was sitting down to write a post on roasting and puréeing pumpkins because 1- it’s that time of year, 2- there is a shortage of canned pumpkin this year and 3- because it tastes better. While gathering my thoughts (read: procrastinating), I received a notification that a pumpkin recipe I wrote appears in a blog post today…
A while back, Rockabye Baby approached me, a lullaby record company, to create a bunch of baby food recipes for inclusion in a new line of lullaby CD’s. Rockabye Baby creates incredible lullaby renditions of mom’s and dad’s favorite rock artists/albums (perfect of Christmas). There is everything from Guns n’ Roses to the Rolling Stones, Ramones, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd and more so your kid can get a leg up on becoming a rock god. Hip and cool parents, including the rock stars themselves, aren’t saddled listening to endless hours of Barney or whatever is in vogue in the world of baby music.
At the time they approached me, the company was introducing a line of country music lullaby CD’s under the label Hushabye Baby. Hushabye has lullaby renditions from acts like “King” George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton, and Rascal Flatts. I created a series of baby food recipes based on song titles of each artist that are included in the CD’s. You’ll have to get the CD’s to see for yourself how clever I can be.
Today on their blog, Rockabye posted the recipe for Masher of Pumpkins – a puree of pumpkin and banana spiced with a pinch of cinnamon and ground ginger for tots 6 months and older. Check it out and while you’re there, order some CD’s.
If you know someone who has a baby and is jonesing to make pumpkin puree for their baby’s first Thanksgiving, please feel free to forward this post!
I often have BIG ideas about food, my business and life in general. Ideas and thoughts that I need to get out of my head, but seem to get bogged down as to whether or not it these ideas are showcased in the appropriate venue. So I've decided to just put it all out there. I've redesigned this site and now (hopefully), I will release into the interweb the ramblings of my mind.
Peace.
