Last weekend I finally got around to making my own baby food. It's something that I really wanted to do, and then after starting work I kept putting it off thinking it would be more effort than it was worth. I'm happy to report that it really is not as much work as I thought it would be!
In just a couple hours on Sunday I was able to make green beans, squash, apples, and pears from start to finish (washing the fruits/veggies, chopping/peeling, steaming, pureeing, and then freezing). As an added confidence boost, Mark wasn't home to help me watch Aubrina so I did it all while taking care of her at the same time!
Considering how little time it takes and how many meals you get out of it, I'm now a believer that home made baby food is the way to go. I put each batch in ice cube trays to make it easier to store and then later prepare only what I'll need. Each cube is about the right serving size right now anyway, so it works out perfectly. I was able to get between 24 and 48 servings of each type of fruit or veggie, so it's definitely time well spent.
The best part is that Aubrina likes it!
