Chilly Cucumber

So one of the veggies that is simple enough to prepare, but I wasnt certain she was going to get much out of was cucumber.  I peeled the cucumbers and cut them into little sticks.  She did seem to enjoy gnawing on them, and on nights when she wasnt absolutely starved she could chew on it for quite a while, and dissolve and get some of it down.


This is one that doesn't freeze or puree well from what I read, so I didnt bother trying.  I did read that you could shred it and mix it in with yogurt, or I've even seen cucumber soups made for summer, but didnt bother trying that level yet.

A while later, we decided to try some shredded cucumber, and that was a little easier to swallow.  The first night she kinda just shoved some towards her mouth, and Im not sure much made it down, but I also think it was really the first shredded food she had had, so after a second and third night of trying it, she got better at actually picking up and eating the shredded cucumber.
