Hannah is my spoiled child who, among other things, is getting homemade baby food. I thought it would be fun to give it a try and I've actually had a blast doing it. Never couldn't have pulled it off with my other kids, had no desire to even. But with Hannah it has been a great project! Takes about 3 hours a month or so for vegetables, fruits I just smash each morning. She does do Gerber cereal, puffs, and Kroger's applesauce, but everything else is produce we mash for her. So much yummier than Gerber and I'm so proud of my food cubes. =]
I thought I had more pics of the process, but apparently I just have incriminating shots of me letting my two year old use a sharp knife...
I read Super Baby Food (very intense...)and I use Wholesome Baby Food. But mostly I just cook vegetables, food process them, and freeze them. Try it with your next baby...it's fun!
(as you can see our freezer is stocked with the essentials...baby food and ice cream)

How fun! I loved making Ian's baby food. It is a strangely satsfying hobby, huh? Your fridge looks so nice with all those colorful bags of food!
That's a perfect freezer. Lucky Hannah!
Jennie makes the baby food for Caleb, and I'm thinking that when we do have another one I'll be making it for mine! Jennie said that it saves her a LOT of money as well!!!
I'm impressed...I only have a bit of sweet potato and squash left in my freezer but I'm done w/the baby food making for now- Mina's starting to grow out of the baby food stage now.
Awesome! I'd utilize those helping hands, too.
