Baby food makers - do you serve a single food at a time?

I almost always give ds a mixture of foods (ie. apples & sweet potatoes, carrots and peas, etc). My mom asked me the other day "How's he going to know what a carrot taste like if you're always mixing it with stuff?". Do you tend to serve single items at a meal or mix two or more foods together?

    I usually do one at a time unless it is something he doesnt seem to be enjoying...like mangos.

    If it's been tried before and we are out of the allergy wait period, I almost always mix it with something else.  K's favorite combo is avocados and bananas.  Everyone thinks that sounds so gross, but it's actually not that bad :)

    I think mixing is a better way to go.  It encourages eating not-favorite flavors with favorites.  It cracks me up when I give DD chopped carrots and broccoli and she picks out all of the carrots before she goes for the broccoli.  It has not been a consern that her palet wouldn't develop the single flavor of a pea.
    My darling daughter just turned 4 years old.

    I switch it up, too. Lily's fave is also bananas and avacado. Last night I gave her potatoes with a little butternut squash mixed in.

    nowadays i do a few separate finger-sized foods at a meal.  when he was younger and took more spoon fed meals i did both, single foods and mixes.

    I usually mixed fruits with yogurt once they were old enough for that, and mixed veggies together and with something heartier by 7-8 mo like tofu, cottage cheese, rice, pastina, etc.

    I give him two or three foods at a time.  Usually something like diced chicken, carrots and potatoes.  Sometimes I grind it all up and give it to him, other times I give it to him in bigger pieces and he self feeds.  He's not too picky, he'll eat pretty much anything, any way we give it to him.
