Homemade Teething Biscuits: 4/5

Baby girl has been teething. We waited and waited for a tooth to show itself. We blinked. Then four teeth appeared almost all at once! Naturally, I decided to buy some teething biscuits. We checked several stores but couldn't find any in the baby food aisle.* What?? I know my little one isn't the only teether out there. But then I remembered this pin. I could MAKE my own biscuits.

The recipe was simple to whip up during naptime. I swapped squash for the bananas since we didn't have bananas (what child doesn't like bananas? and prefers veggies to fruits??). I would recommend using something a little sweeter like sweet potatoes though. They taste awful to me! Ha! But the important thing is that this little one loves them. See?

Sorry, the picture is from my old fashioned, not-smart phone. But I think you'll agree the subject is still pretty darn cute.

Two last suggestions: 1.) Be prepared for a mess. Because the biscuit gets soggy, hands get sticky, then everything she touches (which is everything) also becomes sticky. And orange! 2.) I had to bake the biscuits about 20-30 minutes longer than the recipe suggested. I may have left the dough too sticky, but just keep baking until they are dry and crisp. Oh, and remember they will firm slightly as they cool.

*Note: I have since seen some barley biscuits in the organic aisle. When my own run out, maybe I'll give them a whirl.
