I have decided since I am at home all day that I want to make Tyler's baby food. With all of these stories about things accidentally being packaged into formula and baby food, being able to know exactly what is in his food gives me a little piece of mind. Also, making his food is so much more cost effective. I am able to purchase organic vegetables (frozen or fresh) and make 12 ounces of food for less than the cost of 3 jars of food. I was a little nervous about starting this adventure because some of the foods I want to give him I have never cooked before! BUT, it is so incredibly easy!! I found this website that tells you how to make baby food and if you need to purchase organic or not. I typically only buy the "dirty dozen" organic unless it is on sale.
Today I busted out my Christmas present The Ninja Pulse blender. At first I was going to return this because when you use it you have to hold down a lever on the lid to make the blender run, but it turns out it is actually better. You have easier control pulsing the the food, so mixing everything is easier. AND IT WORKS! We have gone through a couple blenders and the magic bullet before finding this gem! I microwaved my veggies, blended them, and put them into ice cube trays. Let the eating begin!
Peas was his first taste of real food. I love his reaction to vegetables! I think he is a little more like Grandma Gonyea than we thought!
