It's easier than it seems...

Kendell has yet to have a jar of baby food. She has had MANY MANY cubes though!

Above is a picture of me preparing peas for Kendell. I have found that this process is not only really easy but SO cost effective. For example...I went to Trader Joe's and spent $15 on organic fruits and veggies(carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, peas, green beans, pears, and apples). I had everything else that I needed to make the food already in my pantry.

For example...the process for carrots is-

Boil the carrots in water on the stove until they are super soft. Add them to magic bullet, food processor or blender(I used blender)and puree until they are as smooth as a creamy soup. You then transfer the puree into ice cube trays and cover with aluminum foil. Be sure to label the aluminum foil with the type of food and the date(I have mixed up a few items), and freeze for 24 hours. You then pop out the cubes into freezer bags.

When it comes time to feed just take one or two cubes out and put them into a bowl and thaw away. I usually take my cubes out around lunchtime for a dinner-ish feeding. Then I don't have to warm them in the microwave. I add a whole grain cereal like rice or oatmeal to the individual cubes to thicken them(Kendell likes it pretty thick!).

The $15 dollars that I spent at Trader Joes has lasted me over a month. I do add a yogurt every morning which does cost more, but I think it is pretty important.

Kendell is growing so fast! She just popped her first tooth through and is now crawling. I can't believe how fast she is doing things! I think she is trying to catch up to her sisters.

Have a great day!!!
