Make healthy baby food at home
Turn your baby into a little foodie by making fresh, wholesome food at home. Here are some items that you’ll need to make these healthy baby meals.
First, start with a steamer. The Oster 6-Quart food steamer will cook your vegetables perfectly.
Now we need a really good food processor. The Elite Collection by Cuisinart features three bowls for making just the right amount. They are also self sealing, so you don’t have to worry about liquid mixtures dripping on the counter.
The stepped bowls also make it easy to do prep in the small bowl and then puree in the larger bowl.
These container sets help you save your food in meal-sized portions.
Now that you’ve got the equipment, it’s time for some recipes. This book by Lisa Barnes has plenty of tasty dishes for the little foodie.
This post was inspired by an Amazon list by Amber, who knows a heck of a lot more about babies than I do.
People look at me like I’m either crazy or a supermom when they hear I make my own baby food. It’s not hard! I prefer it for so many reasons…
- I know what’s in it.
- Baby gets a wide variety of foods. I think that’s why my one year old will eat anything. Jarred baby food doesn’t have much variety and a lot of it tastes the same. They aren’t exposed to many flavors.
- It’s cheap.
- Easy. Look how short my list is! You don’t need a lot of stuff.
- Obviously it does take time, but I only spend about one hour, one day a week making her food. My freezer is stocked.
