Have you ever made your own baby food? It is sooo easy. And you don't have to buy something just for making baby food. They sell specialized equipment just for that. It steams it and has a blender attached. Is wonderful, I am sure, but I am a practical person, and I think you can use stuff you may already have.
Now, I admit, I *may* have more gadgets than the average gal, but really, you can do it with basic stuff.
-- The Magic Bullet ( a blender will work, too) --
Have you heard of this?? It is basically a personal blender to make smoothies, grind coffee beans (or regular beans), make margaritas, etc. We have had it for a while and it is perfect for baby food. It's easy to clean and there are seperate individual cups, so you can make a bunch of stuff at a time.
Load the peas into the bullet and...
Push down,
and it grinds them up.
Did you know peas are actually BRIGHT green when they are not canned??
Applesauce is so easy, I will never buy it again.
A crock pot is good for this. A little dipper, I think they are called.
You slice up the apples, add some water and cinnamon (if you want), and cover.
It takes a few hours, but you just put them in and forget about it.
You can microwave them too, I am sure, not sure how long, but just until soft.
I also have made it with pears, too. I didn't add the cinnamon to the apples and pears, and it was fantastic. I had some, and it was yummy.
Once again, in the Bullet, and there you go!!
Carrots - I just steam them in my rice cooker/steamer, throw them in the Kitchen Aid, and..
Brookie- Boo seems to like them too!
That is her "it's cold" face!!
Yummers Nummers.
Next I will tell you about our Super Porridge.
Very Healthy!! Good for Baby.
