That is interesting about the spinach. I thought Ellie was just strange.
I have never seen anyone use butternut squash, so I wasn't sure. Then again I have never heard that you shouldn't, so we will start using that one. She does get vitamins, so I will continue to cook the veggies. They get mashed after cooking. I don't think pulverizing raw would work for us since there will still be small pieces left and Ellie forgets one little thing when she eats homecooked...chewing.
It looked like she swallowed about 1/8 cup of food whole the other day. She is such a piggy.
