Pumpkin Parfaits

I recently went to a seminar that where a speaker from the Edible Schoolyard NOLA was talking about child nutrition and cooking for babies and toddlers. She shared some great pumpkin recipes since this is the season for pumpkin!

I don't cook with pumpkin ever, so I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tastes! Lillian seems to be a fan also. I'll share them with you all as I cook them, the first up was the pumpkin parfait which they recommended for 8-12 months.

1/2 Can Pumpkin Puree (homemade or canned)
1/4 Tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp milk (breast mil, formula, whole milk)
2 Tbsp mashed banana
6 oz whole-fat yogurt (I used Fage Greek Yogurt)
1/4 cup whole grain (oatmeal, brown rice, barley, etc)

1. In small bowl, mix together pureed pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk & mashed banana.
2. In small parfait glasses or ramekins, layer the pumpkin mixture and yogurt
3. Top with cooked grain

Note, I forgot the cooked grain!

The parfait will yield this:

and this: 

Next up: pumpkin soup!
