Baby Food

I decided a couple months ago that I was going to make all of Lila's baby food. I think I've said this before, but we were planning on holding off on fruits and veggies for another two months, but the doctor wants us to go ahead and start feeding her more since she is small and because she seems to like the few times she's had cereal.

I went grocery shopping today and got lots of fresh veggies, came home, put Lila down for a nap, and got started. They first thing I'll tell you is this is a lot of work. I spent several hours doing this today, but this is what I have finished.

avocado
yams
peas
zucchini
squash
carrots
bananas
plums

I found a great website that I am getting all my recipes and instruction from.

Wholesome Baby Food.

For the most part I'm just steaming and pureeing everything and then freezing it in ice cube trays. Once it's frozen I transfer the cubes to zip lock freezer bags and label them. Then, whenever I want to feed her I just pull out a cube or two and let them defrost.

I'm so excited about it (which is weird b/c I totally hate to cook or do any kind of kitchen stuff). Well, I don't hate it, I just don't enjoy it. What I do enjoy though, is knowing my sweet Liley has fresh and healthy foods that I made for her.

p.s. I have pictures of my disaster of a kitchen and of all my cool food, but I can't find my cord to upload my pictures. I'll post them later when I find it.
