Baby Food

I have had a few moms ask how I make my baby food and here it is! It is so easy and CHEAP. And it just takes a few extra minutes of your day.

All you need is:

-Freezer (check)
-2 Ice cube trays (cheap you can find it at Walmart for $2)
-Sranwrap (check)
-Freezer quart size Ziploc bags
-Blender or Food processor or VitaMix

Foods to cook (or even buy in cans or frozen isle):
Carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, spinach, green beans, peas, the list goes on and on.

Cook or open can or frozen (thawed) bag of vegetables and throw in blender and process to a liquid. Pour into ice cubes trays, cover with sranwrap and freeze. After frozen, pop them out of trays and place into quart Ziploc bags. One cube is 1 serving for baby and I put it in a microwave safe bowl and zap for 30 seconds.

So easy! If you have any questions please ask!

Hey Diane! I am happy to see you are still making baby food. It is so fun and easy. Make sure you check out these websites for more tips and recipes. And make sure you check the salt content of the foods you pick. When I started Sterling on solids I bought organic frozen peas, made the baby food then found out they added salt. NOT good. Anyways here are the sites: wholesomebabyfood.com, and wholesometoddlerfood.com! Enjoy! One more thing homemade baby food tastes better to the baby and it is easier to switch to table food. It tastes the same.

I love making my own food too. So much fun. But I dont use the micro to defrost the food or to steam the food prior to making. I am pretty conventional in that area. Come to my site and visit the side bar under Pro Shop to find my link to my favorite baby food site.
