Baby Food

I have had many inquiries about how I make my own baby food. It is SO easy!

I use organic, frozen veggies and fruits most of the time. Frozen is just easier. For pears and apples and items that generally don't come frozen, I use fresh. This takes an extra step of peeling/cutting. I really like the selection of organic, frozen foods at Jungle Jim's and go there to stock up.

Cut up/dice the food in small pieces and cook it in the microwave with a little water. Don't boil the food as it will lose nutritional value. I either cook the food in steam bags or a microwave safe dish with a lid (corning wear).

After the food is cooked and soft- just blend it! You don't need a fancy blender- I use a magic bullet.

Then pour the food in fresh baby ice cube trays. They come with lids. I am sure there are other brands out there or you can just use a regular ice cube tray. I store them in the freezer and then once the food is frozen, I pop out the cubes and put them in labeled zip lock bags. The cubes of food are so cute!

There are a lot of brands of containers/storage/ideas for baby food.  Here is the one I like to use:
