Orzo Salad with Spinach, Feta, and Tomatoes

One of our go-to summertime meals is a “Greek” “salad” with orzo, spinach, feta, grape tomatoes, lemon juice, and olive oil. It’s delicious, light, and summery, and is good warm or cold. Turns out, the babies like it as much as we do (at least, once we run it through our food mill—thanks, Julia and Jeff!) and have gobbled it down enthusiastically two nights in a row.

This marks, I suppose, the real beginning of the “real food” phase for the babies. I very much want to start the habit of sitting down to dinner with the babies and feeding them whatever we’re having, and I’m totally jazzed that the kiddos seem to like eating. Some of the time, anyway.

(I was going to start trying to take a picture of each meal to post on the blog but, (a) I post enough pictures on the damn blog, and (b) once it goes through the food mill, it doesn’t look quite as appetizing.)
