Linking up with Heather and Megan for another week of Mommy Confessions!
I am enjoying making Lucas' baby food more then I ever could have imagined I would. From carrots to peas and everything in between I just LOVE it! It is so nice knowing exactly what is in his food. Obviously, I know Gerber food is good for them as well. That is all Logan and Abby ate but this is also a way for me to help us save money. His food comes out to about a $1.25 a day which is way cheaper then the jars of Gerber, SCORE!
I purchased a baby bullet a while back and it works good for small amounts, when I am making batches of food (like the picture below) it struggles sometimes. We decided to get an immersion blender and that thing is AWESOME! The baby bullet would bog down (even quit all together) when I was making peas, sweet potatoes and carrot but not the immersion blender. Nothing can stop that thing, ha!
I have only done pureed veggies and fruits so far but planning on starting him on chicken next month. I have watched a few YouTube videos to see how to puree the meats because it was just perplexing me as to how well it would puree. It seems steaming the meat w/ a veggie is the way to go. Once I get the pureed meat down, it will be time for him to start eating
chunkier, less pureed food. I am a little nervous about that. I will be
watching some more YouTube videos, for sure!
Sweet potatoes and butternut squash are by far his favorites but he will eat just about any veggie or fruit now. We tried blueberries a few weeks ago and he liked them but they are pretty pricey for the little one bag/container makes so I am not going to do those often. I have been experimenting with different fruits and veggies mixed together and he has liked them all so far.
Do you or have you made your baby's food!?!? If, so how did you like it!?!?
