baby yummy veggie meat ball lunch

Here is one recipe that I often make for my baby that she loves.
I can actually add different combinations of vegetables but the process is more or less the same.

For this version I took:
2 small parsnips
1 medium to small potato
a small onion
1 garlic clove
one baby special meatball (I made them myself beforehand and I'll try to post the recipe but you can easily substitute it with half a small or 1/4 big chicken breast).
a pinch of salt (for babies older than 1 year)
a cup or so full fat milk

Preparation:
Peel all the veggies and chop quite finely.
Put all vegetables in a small pot, cover with milk, add salt (if used) and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until vegetables are half cooked.
Add chicken breast cut to cubes and simmer about 15 minutes more till everything is soft. The longest things to cook is parsnip. You can put it to cook a bit earlier than all other ingredients, I didn't bother just kept it on simmer while being busy with my baby's games. Well of course coming and stirring once in a while.
When you see it is ready, take off and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a blender to achieve the desired consistency, as my baby is already 13 months I try to make it quite chunky but make sure that meat pieces are still not too big for her to choke.
I get 3 average portions for my baby, one of which I use right away and the other two go to the freezer.
I will try to post some variations a bit later.
Hope you and your baby will enjoy this yummy lunch or dinner.
