calls this recipe the "See-in-the-Dark Puree" because it is jam packed with carrots that are treasure troves of Vitamin A and the boost of orange juice throws some Vitamin C in the mix.

- 1 small onion, diced (I only did half an onion to avoid it being too overpowering)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups Vegetable Stock
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Saute the in onion in the butter until softened. Add the carrots and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Add the orange juice and puree!
THE VERDICT - At first taste, Micah wasn't loving it. I think I introduced it a bit too early though. We back-tracked a bit and got him used to to just plain carrots first. Once he had developed a taste for those, I tried this one again with big success!
