Tonight I made Greenlee's baby food for the first time. I thought it was be so labor intensive and take too much time but it was the opposite. From start to finish it only took about 30 minutes. Tonight I made asparagus and zucchini. I just steamed them in a steamer basket for about 10 minutes and then popped them in the food processor. Afterwards I let the purees cool, divided some for the freezer and some for the refrigerator, and I was done! A "bunch" of asparagus made about 2 weeks worth of baby food and 2 zucchinis also made 2 weeks worth. Right now it takes her about 3 days to get through a 4oz jar of baby food so it doesn't take much to make a few weeks worth of food for her. I think it's just as cheap to buy the jarred baby food since I use coupons, but organic can be pretty pricey even with coupons so it's nice to just be able to buy organic produce at Kroger and make her food if I want to. Plus, with making her food, she will be able to try different fruits and veggies that aren't available in the jar, such as: cherries, blueberries, pumpkin, yam, cauliflower, avocado, broccoli, plums, zucchini, and the list goes on! There are so many types of fruits, veggies, and proteins that aren't available to buy in jars or even certain grains like millet and lentils. I want Greenlee to try all varieties of foods early on so she won't be a picky eater and I think making some of her baby food will help accomplish this goal. Bon a petit :)
