_The thing I love about this **Pumpkin Risotto for Toddlers** dish is you don’t 
have to slave over a hot stove, in fact you aren’t anywhere near the stove, because
you use the oven. lol_

But yeah, it is sooo simple.

This isn’t a puree recipe, if you do puree, it will be so gluey and gluggy I doubt
your angel will eat it, so save it for the over 9 month-ers.
