Alex is loving solid foods and boy does he eat! So far he eats his rice cereal, carrots, sweet potatoes and squash with gusto. :) Instead of having Alex eat us out of house and home (which I know he will do!), I decided to go the homemade route after his initial tastes, and it is SO much fun! :) I guess I am a nerd that way. The other day I steamed some carrots, added some water and pureed those, then today I microwaved some sweet potatoes for 8 minutes, added water, and pureed away!
In under 20 minutes I made enough sweet potato puree to last a good two weeks! Here it is in my nifty freezer trays. After they freeze up I transfer them to a ziploc bag so I can use the tray for other items! :)
My go to book is The Best Homemade Food on the Planet. It is such a fun book. Can't wait to use it more! More baby food adventures to be posted as Alex starts to experience the wonderful world of REAL FOOD! :)

The Mission...
After 3 years of the same old recipes, I started branching out a bit with some new recipes. The result-- lots of fun in the kitchen and a desire to keep trying new ones. So here we are. The mission is to not make the same thing twice in a year! :) The recipes will include meals and deserts, with some baby food recipes mixed in just for fun. I believe in leftovers so I might not cook something new everyday, but will make up for it in the course of the week! I will start with my "tried and true" recipes to get them out of my system and then it is on to new and more exciting recipes!
The fun begins June 1st.
