Why Mindy Kaling is feeding her baby peanut butter—and you should consider it, too
Both the AAP and the NIAID recommend serving up peanut-based pureed or finger food to babies.

Anyone with a Hulu subscription knows Mindy Kaling is a creative genius, and now the mama of one is getting creative in the kitchen, too.
Her daughter, 7-month-old daughter Katherine, is eating solids and the baby is being treated to some homemade goodness. Kaling's fans get to follow along as she shares what is essentially a cooking/comedy show in her Instagram stories.
In her most recent "episode" Kaling shared her recipe for banana date peanut butter. "This is one of those baby foods that like I legit would eat," she tells viewers.
Bananas, pitted dates and Trader Joe's Peanut Butter go into the blender and out comes baby food fit for baby Katherine, and her mom.
