This past year we both gave birth to baby boys. Our newest additions were born 14 weeks apart to the day! We had so much fun being pregnant together and our boys are going to be best buds! Since we've both done the baby thing before we felt as though there wasn't much we hadn't tried. However, neither of us had ever tried making our own baby food. So as our little men grew older we grew wiser and decided to try our best to "create" and "care" for out little men as best as possible! WOW! What a fun experience! We both can't believe that we hadn't tackled baby food with our other babies. What were we thinking? It's so EASY and YUMMY! Have you every tried the stuff out of the jar? So not yummy! Our little men are loving what we make for them and we love that we know every little ingredient that they are eating! Now neither of them will even eat the jar stuff and we are obsessed with making different types of food combinations for them! With just a few easy steps you can make baby food for your little ones. The benefits are amazing; healthy food for you baby and extra money in your pocket. And our personal favorite-the feeling of pure joy after creating in the kitchen!!!
Step 1. Pick out what veggies and/or fruit you want to make. (We suggest starting your 4-6 month old on yellow/orange veggies 1st)
Step 2. Bake or boil your veggies. Most veggies retain more vitamins and taste better if baked. Step 3. Peel and cube veggies. Blend/puree in food processor.
Step 4. Freeze in icecube trays. Once frozen, remove from tray and place in Freezer bags. Will last in freezer for one month.
*Avocados are a great 1st food and they don't have to be cooked! Slice and freeze on baking tray, once frozen move to freezer bag. The color will darken when thawed but the taste is the same. So easy!
We hope this encourages you to make "homemade" food for your little ones!Check out this website for more help www.wholesomebabyfood.com
