Vanilla Banana Berry Risotto, Tropical Banana Berry , Juicy Pear and Garden Greens. Sounds pretty good, right? There are several differentiators between Baby Gourmet and other pouched baby food on the market. Baby Gourmet offers not only superior taste, but also the thoughtful combos introducing baby to healthy medley of garden greens by adding a sweet fruit to mask some of the bitterness.
An organic, all natural baby food brand with delicious flavors divided into three stages: simple purees, yummy combos and tasty textures, Baby Gourmet contains no added sugars, salts, fillers, or thickeners.
Here are a few examples of ways Baby Gourmet artfully developed flavor profiles designed to increase vegetable appeal:
- -Juicy Pear and Garden Greens combines broccoli and spinach with creamy pear to sweeten the pot
- Orchard Apple, Carrot and Prune is like giving baby a glass of carrot-OJ with the “side-benefits” of prune
- Inspired by pumpkin waffles, the Harvest Pear, Pumpkin and Banana combo introduces the sweet, earthy taste of pumpkin

Sweet Potato Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce
Compliments of Jennifer Broe, Founder of Baby Gourmet
Yields: 30 ravioli
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Total time: 45minutes
I am on the “meatless Monday” bandwagon, so when it comes to finding delicious vegetarian meals I am always on the lookout. I love the simple elegance of a brown butter sauce and so do my babies! Kids love noodles and butter, well so do I when the pasta is good and the butter has been browned! I use wonton wrappers in place of homemade pasta, making this dish not only delicious but super fast!
Ingredients:
-1 lbs sweet potatoes/yams
-1 Tbsp brown sugar
-1 Tbsp (1/4 stick) butter, room temperature
-1 12-ounce package wonton wrappers
-1 large egg, beaten
-Fried shallots and butter sauce
-1/4 cup vegetable oil
-2 large shallots, cut crosswise into rings
-3 Tbsp butter (3/4 stick)
-6 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
-½ tsp dried crushed pepper
-¼ cup pine nuts, toasted (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°f
- Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise; place cut side down on a lined baking sheet.
- Roast until tender, about 30 minutes, cool.
- Scoop potato pulp out of skins into a small bowl.
- For baby 6 months+: remove ¼ cup sweet potato pulp and puree with 3 Tbsp water, cool and serve.
- Mash sweet potato with butter and sugar, season with salt and pepper.
- Place wonton wrappers on the work surface.
- Using pastry brush, brush wrapper with beaten egg.
- Place ½ Tbsp sweet potato filling in center of each.
- Fold each wrapper diagonally over filling, forming triangles. Seal edges. Transfer to baking sheet. Let stand while making sauce.
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
- Working in 2 batches, fry shallots until crisp and dark brown, about 2 minutes.
- Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Cook butter in frying pan on medium head until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add sage.
- Meanwhile, cook ravioli in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 3 minutes.
- Drain well. Add ravioli to pot with butter sauce, toss to coat.
- For baby 10 months+: Pulse 2 ravioli with 2 Tbsp of water until desired consistency is reached. Serve.
- For the rest of the family:
