• If you like you can replace the canned tomatoes with 6 to 8 ripe plum tomatoes (or about 15 cherry tomatoes), blanched, peeled, and chopped.

• Try making meatballs from ground lamb or pork, or half pork and half beef.

• Adding 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese to the meatball mixture will give extra flavor.

Shepherd’s Pie

This is traditional family comfort food—perfect for cold winter evenings. Your baby will be able to manage this dish once he can open his fist on purpose and no longer needs to have sticks of food poking out. If he’s not quite there yet, serve it with sticks of steamed vegetables and let him have some of the shepherd’s pie to play with.
