Busy Bee

I've been a busy little bee. Besides planning Jack's 4th birthday, I spent the latter part of my weekend crafting my own baby food creations with my Beaba Babycook from my mother and father-in-law. Gotta say, I love this thing! It makes homemade baby food simple and quick and far superior to those jarred smelly store-bought alternatives. There is also a great peace of mind knowing what ingredients are going into your baby's belly. So I can't sing the praises of this enough.

First you dice the fruits or veggies.

Add the food to the steamer basket, fill reservoir with the right amount of water.

Steam...and wait.

Dump the food into the food processor and puree while adding steam water back to achieve desired consistency.


Then get some cute and handy-dandy baby food containers (or recycle old baby food jars).


Then freeze.


It is seriously so easy that a full-time working mom of two can even handle. What's even better is that now that I have stored up a few meals, I can work ahead. So the next time I'm cooking for the rest of the family, I can reserve a some food to puree up for Paige.

And it's a good thing, because clearly she might need to eat a little more!
