Brocco-baga

I saw a suggestion for a broccoli-rutabaga puree in my baby food cookbook, and decided to make it for Alex. I've never had rutabaga before, and even had to ask a produce clerk in Safeway to show me the difference between rutabaga and parsnips. Nonetheless, I decided to try it out.

After the first bite Alex made a strange face. I thought, "I didn't expect him to like it the first time out, so I'll just have to try it six or seven times to see if he takes to it. After all, he only just tolerates yams and peas now." But then he opened his mouth again, so I gave him more. He actually ate the whole 1 ounce serving! Who would have guessed that brocco-baga would be such a tasty treat?
