A great side dish ...Baked Couscous with Summer Squash and Herbs

Looking for a great way to use that summer squash? We tried this side last night and ate the whole casserole between the two of us (well, our 11 month old had her fair share as well). I should mention that I used a real egg instead of egg substitute and probably double the amount of cheese, which I subbed mozzarella for fontina.

Ok, stupid question...did you spoon feed Lidia this casserole, or did you just put in in a clump on her plate and let her dig through it? Always looking for new finger food ideas...

We let her have it in little clumps ... but be forewarned there was couscous everywhere! I'm having to let go of my clean freak streak in order to let her explore a little on her own. It gets quite messy around here at feeding time but I guess she has to learn at some point. I also roast carrots and potatoes and zuchinis and chop them up really good and she likes it. The zuchini roasts better if you scoop out the seeds with a spoon and then cut them into half moons. It sure was a lot easier when they just drank milk! :)
