Baby Food

Blend your own delicious and nutritious baby food~ no added colors, preservatives or sugars ... plus it is fun!
Make simple one food purees in a food processor, or combine foods you are sure your baby enjoys and is not allergic to.
One of our family favorites is peeled apples, a little banana for taste & texture and enough water to make the mixture smooth.
Puree until well blended - more smooth for children starting solids and more coarse as your little one advances his solid food intake.
Set aside as much food as your child will eat that day, and freeze the remainder in ice-cube trays.
Cover the trays with a top or saran wrap to avoid freezer burn, spilling and contamination. Once thoroughly frozen, pop cubes out and freeze in labeled freezer bags for easy use and storage.
