Baby food making: Ratatouille!

Easy...easy...easy! A meal for mommy & baby (BONUS!)

You'll need:
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 can of diced tomatoes (or whole tomatoes)
1 eggplant
1 medium onion
1-2 zucchini
1-2 yellow squash
1-2 red or yellow bell peppers
1 tablespoon of garlic 
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Add your favorite herbs (fresh or dry) I used pepper, sage, oregano and basil.  

Directions:
In a crock pot add the olive oil and the can of tomatoes, cook on high while you peel and chop all of the veggies into cubes (easier for baby to eat when it's chopped up smaller). 
Add in all the veggies then splash in the red wine vinegar and top with all of your herbs, mix and let it cook on high for about 3 hours. Done!
For baby: puree, if needed, or baby can eat it just like that if they prefer. 
For mommy & family: serve and enjoy!

It's so yummy and healthy, I personally did not think that it needed any salt. The tomatoes gave it such great flavor. Hope you'll try and enjoy it. 
[I had forgotten to take a picture of it when it was cooked fresh, this picture above was leftovers the next day and I added a turkey burger patty that I had just to change it up a bit. Another idea, add some fresh quinoa to it and YUMMO!!]
