21 Really Great Foods for Baby

Another fun list, as part of my "30" series ... Here are some foods that, though they might seem obvious to you, took time for me to learn that they are great "firsts" in Baby's repertoire of consumables =)

Apple -- Cut into "sticks" and double as teethers =)
Avocado -- (Thanks, Gina!!)
Banana -- Obviously...
Beans -- Good for that sweet little heart! ... And, digestion tract!
Blueberries -- Frozen, just thawed a bit, is a GREAT finger-food for Baby to handle! And, aren't really a big choking hazard! (Especially wild blueberries - they're a lot smaller.)
Casseroles -- Lots of good messiness, all rolled up into one easy step for Mom.
Cheese -- Our baby might be weird, but she really digs some cheese!
Chocolate -- I know, you probably think I'm crazy! But, she loves it =)
Hummus -- ANY flavor! No kidding!! Super easy to eat on little bites of pita bread.
Kefir -- Full of Probiotics. Ohhhh, if you're not into Kefir yourself yet, you're missing out. BIG time!! It's yogurt with a little kick. It's an acquired taste, but doesn't take long to acquire it!! Get some TODAY!!!!
Mac & Cheese -- Quick, easy, finger-food friendly, but will need a bath afterwards =)
Organic Red Bell Peppers -- If you can get your kid to eat this, PLEASE do!!! (If you are wondering why, please read the blurb about it at the end of my post on Chop-Block Bread, and also visit this list to see what fruits and veggies hold the most pesticides!!!)
Quesadillas -- Again, with the cheese =)
Quinoa -- A great way to introduce texture. Sneak a little into Baby's pureed food, or just let him/her pick it up as a new finger-food.
Rice -- Please, do your kid a favor and give them anything BUT plain ol' white super-starchy white rice! There are many ways to encourage your child to end up obese, and this is one of them. (Same as white potato... Read the book Sugar Busters!!)
Rolls & Hearty-Grainy Breads
Smoothies! -- YUM!! (Sneak in some spinach & flax seed, too!)
Soups
Turkey/Chicken -- But I think it kind of freaks her out when I do "gobble, gobble" and "ba-gak" noises to let her know what it is... Ooops.

Yogurt -- Greek! (2x protein!)

Zucchini -- I just discovered this one... Dang, Zucchini, where have you BEEN all this time?!?!?!?!

Do YOU have any suggestions?

PS -- Can anyone tell me where to find a really good pre-packaged mac & cheese that includes whole wheat pasta? We actually don't even give Baby white pasta (again, like white rice, white flour, white potato...), and we all miss mac & cheese!!! We used to really like Archer Farms from Target, but they don't have a whole wheat....  HELP!!!! Thanks!!!!
