If you’re a fan of TJ’s classic mini pretzels, you’ll love this seasonal spin. Trader Joe’s has a brand-new catalogue of fantastic fall and Halloween-themed snacks and ingredients that kids will love. To reheat, remove from the freezer and place in a preheated oven (175C/ 350F) until fully heated (around 1 hour depending on the size of dish/dishes) It is ready when piping hot and nice and creamy.Pumpkin-spice season is upon us, and Trader Joe’s has got you covered! As your family breaks out the decorative gourds and Halloween decorations, make sure to stock the pantry with some seasonal treats, too. Bake until fully reheated, approx 30 minutes (depending on the size of dish/dishes).įreeze in a covered freezer and oven proof dish (or dishes) for up to 3 months. You may wish to add more cheese and breadcrumbs before reheating. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The top should be brown and bubbling and piping hot in the centre. Cover the top with the cheese and breadcrumbs just before baking and bake for approx 30 minutes. If you are making this dish ahead of time, to serve later in the day, cover the dish and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve (do not add the breadcrumbs and cheese for the top at this stage). You could also add some herbs/spices or stir through some roasted veggies, to add more textures and flavours for your baby to explore. To reduce the sodium level you could make a small portion for your baby and add less cheese (or even miss the cheese out.) I think that babies will especially love the sweet profile the butternut squash provides. If your baby has progressed from purees or is doing baby led weaning then this would be suitable to make for your baby.

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERNUT SQUASH MAC AND CHEESE If you have a fussy eater you may wish to start with adding a little puree and slowly add more as your child’s’ taste buds adapt. I think it is very “kid friendly” but, of course, what one child loves another child can hate.
