I add jars of babyfood to all kinds of other dishes. Spaghetti does well with some carrots or squash. Oatmeal does great with any of the fruits, or sweet potatoes. Chicken soup can handle a jar of carrots. I add sweet potatoes to the egg mix for french toast. I use the fruit in making creamy popsicles (yogurt + fruit, topped off with milk).

Thanks for the suggestions. I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what WIC is and who qualifies for it, etc. WIC is NOT an entitlement program and it helps fill the gap for all types of families. I have been on WIC for a long, long time... I remember going to the WIC office with my mom as a small child (for the finger pricks..youch!). Thanks again for sharing those yummy recipes.
