Delicious baby food!

Over the holidays, Josh's parents came and brought their vita-mixer. I have always wanted to make my own baby food. We made all sorts, and i am amazed at the ease and deliciousness of our result. For any mothers out who are even thinking of making your own baby purees, please consider it because it is actually very uncomplicated. Here's how we did it. There are thousands of recipes to choose from, but we just made a few, sweet potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes with apples, squash with apples, apples with dates, and peaches. Just a plain food processor will work as well. We simply pureed it down, then froze separate servings in ice trays. Once the ice trays freeze, take them out of the freezer tray, label and store in ziplock freezer bags. They are good in the freezer for up to three months. Luke and Isabel LOVE the baby food and it's nice to know exactly what it going into their little growing bodies. It is so wonderful to feed them things that actually smell good and look good too. It does take time, but if you have it, I think it's a good investment.

THere are some good recipes online at www.wholesomebabyfood.com or any baby food cookbook.
