Over the weekend, I attempted to make my own baby food for Elizabeth. It was a pretty successfull attempt, I must say! Making baby food is ALOT cheaper than buying it at $00.38/every 2.5 oz of food! (Give or take!) So, I bought some banana's, carrots, chicken and avacodo to steam & puree. Who would of thought it would be so easy! It was fairly time consuming, but, really easy! Now, I am not so sure how much Elizabeth will like the avacodo plain (as I only like avacado when its made into guacamole!)...it has a pretty hard taste to it, but, we'll see. For one of her meals this weekend, I mixed some pureed chicken & carrots together. She wasn't too keen on the taste (or maybe it was the texture) of this concoction, but, she managed to choke it all down! I think it was because it wasnt as smooth & creamy as the store boughten foods. It was still pureed up pretty well, but, not as well as the professionals get it at Gerber! In the meantime, I have bought some sweet potatoes, green beans, and pears to work on in the next few days. I'll prepare it all, and freeze it, and use it when I run out of the store bought food I have. I have some squash stored in the freezer from earlier. I plan to feed that to Miss E as well. She seems to like squash. Squash & pears seem to be her "favorites" so far. Well, these are the two foods that she makes the least amount of "icky" facial expressions with!
I plan to research some more on baby food recipes. A friend gave me a website today that I have to check out wholesomebabyfood.com. I havent looked at it yet, but will be sure to do so, right after I post this! I'm hoping it points me in the right direction for more ideas! Anything to save a buck!
