Garlicky Baby Food Spread

KVasanth's Note:

I have an 11-month-old who loves garlic! This is a quick, easy, and healthy spread or dip for both you and your little ones. It is strong-tasting and will leave you with lasting garlic breath, but if neither of those bother you (or bother your baby), then go for it. As it is, my daughter will pick this over bland applesauce any day.
