Beef veggies and rice for babies

I need to get moving on making a few more meals for Harry. He seems to be demolishing food faster than I can make it. He is on three big meals a day now and sometimes an extra one if he is up early. The other day I swear he ate more than me. Anyway, this went down really well, my first attempt at a beef dish. I didn’t puree quite as much as normal, so he is starting to get used to the lumpier texture.

Note: store bought stock generally contains added salt and gluten – in general homemade is best or check for gluten free specified, if required for allergy purposes.
