I remember making Nathan's baby food. I can't say that he never had store bought baby food, but I will say that he had a minimal amount.
It wasn't hard to to. But it can be time consuming.
This time around.
I found the baby bullet system.
When I first saw it, I thought whatever. Just another gimmick.
But then I paid a little bit more attention to it and have to say that I really like it. It's something that can be used for more then just baby food making.
So we decided to jump in and make the investment.
I am so very glad that we did.
This is the steamer.
It will steam a sweet potato in 13 minutes. Perfectly.
I have a half a butternut squash in it in this picture.
It took about 18 min to steam it. Perfectly.
It cost me.....maybe $2.00 and I have 6 full cups of baby food and each cup will feed her 1 days worth of food.
The 1st night I fed her the squash is the 1st night that she finished all the food. I was pretty happy with her.
I decided that sense I was already making baby food I would go ahead and make some corn from the leftover ears of corn we had from dinner.
A weeks worth of baby food cost me a whole 66 cents and it took me about 5 min start to finish to make.
This is the blender. It also has another cup and blade that you can use to mill oatmeal and other grains. (I haven't done that yet.)
And these are the cups/container that you can freeze the food with. The white one is 1 piece and you put the food into that and once it is frozen you pop the individual food out and put it in a Ziploc bag. (I had already made green beans another night and that is what is in the bag to the side.)
It also come with the little green cups. Besides the fact that they are adorable, they are handy for traveling or storing food in the fridge.
I have to say that I have actually had fun making her food. As she grows, I look forward to seeing what other concoctions I can come up with.
And don't worry......I did not put salt in her food. I had used it in our food that night and it was just sitting there.
