Polenta for lunch

Yeahhhh for a whole night sleep. Taking one daily nap works out better for him, so hopefully he will be eating better today too. Teething is a big factor in his eating habits, which happens to be almost every week:)when a tooth is working its way out he doesn't seem to be as hungry. A big reason for me to be in the kitchen every day, mixing, stirring, testing and coming up with odds flavors and dishes he might enjoy but with high chances of ending on the floor.


Tofu and polenta

3 cups water
1 cup corn meal
1 tbsp butter

1 cup tofu
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp tomato paste
