Baby Food - Carrots

When I made a pot roast the other night I decided to use the rest of the carrots in the bag to make Mason some food. I ended up making 40 - 1 ounce cubes. I spent $3.00 on a five pound bag of carrots. I made a pot roast in the crock pot and $10.00 worth of baby food. I consider that a good deal. 

Peel

Chop

Steam

Move from steamer into food processor

Puree

Pour & Freeze

This may not look delicious, but they taste much better than the jars of food. I was checking the pears I made Mason for lunch to see if they were too hot and they did not taste bad at all. I knew what was in them and they actually tasted like pears.

Carrots are recommended for children over 6 months

When I was pregnant and decided to try making my own baby food I thought it would be a big task. It is not that hard. I have not made anything more than veggie & fruit purees, but I am willing to try other things. I want to mix different fruits together to make new flavors for Mason.

I hope these posts inspire someone to make their own baby food. I am not going to push it on everyone because I use the store bought stuff as well as the home made stuff. Sometimes it is easier and I may not have the certain kind in the freezer.
