1 potato, peeled and cubed
1 medium celery root, peeled and cubed
1/4 C. whole milk (if over 10-12 months), breast milk or water

Place ingredients in a steamer pot over boiling water. Steam for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender, reserving water in pot. Place celery root and potato in a food processor. Puree for 30 seconds. Add the milk and continue to puree. If it’s still too thick, add water from the pot. Puree until smooth. Cool and serve.

1 cup leeks, sliced

6oz lean stew beef cut into cubes

1 1/2 cup sliced carrots

1 cup peeled and chopped parsnips

1/2 lb potatoes chopped

2 cups unsalted beef stock or chicken stock

 

Preheat oven to 350. Heat the butter in a flame proof casserole, add the leeks, and sauté for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the beef and sauté until browned. Add the carrots, parsnips, and potatoes, cover with stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Transfer the casserole to the preheated oven and cook for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until the meat is soft. Blend to a puree to the desired consistency.
