Well, not literally, but I did make a lot.
I started with this:
Zucchini and yellow squash from our garden.
Apples
Pears
Peaches
Plums
Sweet potato
Don’t they look delicious?
And of course, my immersion blender.
Plus my “cookbook.”
Then I started with the items that needed to bake since they take the longest.
De-boned peaches and plums. I also put the sweet potato in the oven.
While these puppies were baking, I was boiling/steaming the rest.
Zucchini, pears, apples and yellow squash - pureed.
And after everything cooled off, I put it in ice cube trays.
(This is just the boiled stuff!)
I actually ended up having to run out and buy more ice cube trays to finish the job.
But now we have about 150 ice cubes of baby food to mix and match as we please.
We even have a few new foods to introduce to Peanut like plums and peaches.
Do you make your own baby food?
Did you know I used to cook for my dogs?
Wow, such beautiful colors! Hope little P appreciates all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThat is serious dedication! Lucky little Peanut :)
ReplyDeleteI never thought to make my own dog food, but I have considered baking some biscuits or other kind of treat. Great idea!
You are so organized! I'm tucking away this bit of inspiration for the future.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. You are such a planner!
ReplyDeleteWe did the same last weekend!! It used to last us forver, but now that Anne Margaret is eating so much it hardly lasts for 5 weeks! ha!
ReplyDeletelucky peanut! :) I wish I could find the motivation/time to do that too. I tried (and failed) a while ago to make some homemade baby food. I need to get back on the horse.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I'd eat Peanut's food....it looks SO good!
ReplyDeleteYummy!! Looks good! Didn't know you could still buy those ice cube trays. lol
ReplyDeleteDang!!! You make baby food look deLICIOUS!!! I actually started drooling a little bit at all the colorful pictures ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny! I did this too this week! Unfortunatley I couldn't fit it all into one afternoon, since I work on the weekends and there is no way that Katie would be patient enough to share me with the kitchen all afternoon! Instead I had to stretch it out over 2 afternoons. I did nectarines, plums, carrots and sweet potatoes! The nectarines and plums are new but she has loved everything she's tried so far, my happy little eater! :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! Good job making all of this yummy food for Peanut! It is so nice to take one day to make enough food for weeks :)
