I made zucchini baby food last February for Baby J and it went over pretty well but I had to thicken it with baby cereal in order to make it the right consistency since zucchini holds a lot of water. Today I decided to thicken it up with peas instead and it totally worked. If … Continue reading Baby Food (Zucchini & Peas)

Guilty
Three kids in and I'm guilty of still learning new things. I'm not saying that broadening one's education is ever a bad thing, but ignorance isn't bliss to a mom who's trying to do everything right and sometimes you learn things just a little too late. I've got a three week old baby with an … Continue reading Guilty
Baby Food (Broccoli & Peas)
As I mentioned in my last baby food post, Baby Food (Zucchini), I made some other baby foods the other day including this one. Broccoli is a really good food to feed to babies due to the fact that it is high in vitamin content and fiber. However, because broccoli can cause gas it's not recommended … Continue reading Baby Food (Broccoli & Peas)
Baby Food (Zucchini)
Another day, another baby food. The other day I decided to take a trip to our local produce market and pick up some vegetables I don't buy quite that often. I grabbed some fresh broccoli, zucchini, a red bell pepper and a cabbage. Of course I had no intentions of making a batch of red … Continue reading Baby Food (Zucchini)
Baby Food Update
Yesterday morning I spent a bit of time in the kitchen restocking the baby food section in our freezer. We already had some protein packed containers in there, but we were lacking breakfast foods and others. I like having a bigger variety of baby food because it doesn't seem quite fair to feed the baby … Continue reading Baby Food Update
Baby Food (Apples & Strawberries)
Yummm, apples with strawberries. We ran out of "breakfasty" foods the other day for the baby so he had squash for breakfast, which just seems weird. I guess it's better than the other options we had, carrots with kidney beans or broccoli and cauliflower with black beans. The freezer is normally full of a wide array of … Continue reading Baby Food (Apples & Strawberries)
All The Yummies
The last time I made a big batch of baby food was about a month ago. In between big batches I tend to make little batches of whatever produce we have lying around, like apples or carrots. Today was time to refill the freezer... Due to a late night hospital trip and some rude kidney … Continue reading All The Yummies
Homemade Baby Food Step-By-Step (Chicken With Apples And Blueberries)
This is the fourth and final post of my most recent batch of baby foods. I have already posted about the carrots, sweet potatoes and applesauce. Last and certainly not least is the apple, blueberry and chicken mixture. One of the very first steps is to get your chicken into the oven (no salt or … Continue reading Homemade Baby Food Step-By-Step (Chicken With Apples And Blueberries)
Homemade Baby Food Step-By-Step (Applesauce)
This is number three in a set of four step-by-step baby food posts. Previously I've posted about carrots and sweet potatoes, today I'll post a step-by-step on baby applesauce. This recipe only varies slightly from the traditional way of making homemade applesauce and is a very process. Apples are a good way to help introduce … Continue reading Homemade Baby Food Step-By-Step (Applesauce)
Homemade Baby Food Step-By-Step (Sweet Potatoes)
The other day I made four batches of baby food including carrots (previously posted), sweet potatoes, apples and a combination of apples, blueberries and chicken. Sweet potato baby food is easy to make. First and foremost, you want to scrub, peel and rinse your sweet potatoes. Scrubbing the outside of the sweet potato removes any dirt … Continue reading Homemade Baby Food Step-By-Step (Sweet Potatoes)
