Robert has a serious love affair with carrots. He's liked them since the first puree, and I'm in full support of his carrot habit. However, after making plain carrot puree several times, I felt it was time to mix it up a bit and add a new flavor - enter nutmeg. He's been a champ with other spices, like cinnamon and even a small amount of pepper on the unexpected Christmas salmon.
As I grated the nutmeg into the carrot puree, I had a fleeting "Chicken of the Sea" moment when I wondered if I was exposing him to a nut akin to peanuts and he was about to go into anaphylactic shock. I brushed it off and later reassured myself with a quick google search of "what age can babies have nutmeg?" This reassured me that I had not just doomed myself with the spice.
After steaming and pureeing the carrot, I used a microplane to sprinkle a small amount of freshly grated nutmeg into my bowl. I mixed it will, and the aroma of fresh nutmeg and sweet carrots was delicious. Robert agreed!
