Adventures in baby food

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! :)
