Chicken Tortellini

Let me start this post by saying that I am a huge fan of Baby Led Weaning. What is that you ask? Well, once a baby turns 6 months old you go straight to giving them finger foods. No yucky mush in a jar! I really wish I had heard about this with my daughter, I think she wouldnt be as picky as she is now. My son started out with fresh fruits and veggies cut into sticks, then into cubes. He now eats pretty much whatever we are eating. I love it, my husband loves it, and most of all my little man loves it! That being said, I am always looking for recipes that are more baby friendly. This definitely qualifies! Its simple and delicious!
