Baby Puree & the adventures of a middle aged mama!

Making home made baby food is really a snap! The process is so easy (healthy & less expensive) you'll wonder why so many parents still buy the store bought bottled stuff! Granted when I first started feeding my little one baby food, I too got sucked int the ease of store bought baby food, but one day I brought my girlfriend with me to buy baby food and she started reading the ingredient out loud to me! I'm not sure why, but for some reason I thought I could trust what's inside the jar simply because it had the word "organic" on the label! But, when I heard ingredients like "tuna fish oil," I decided I needed to know exactly what my baby was eating. Granted the Fish oil might have had some health benefits, but I was intending to give my baby a vegetarian diet (when I purchased sweet potatoes, I was not expecting to find fish oil as one of the ingredients!)I was suddenly inspired to start making my baby the kind of food he deserved.. As it turns out, baby food is super easy to make, and more importantly, knowing where the food comes from provides me (you) with a great sense of satisfaction and, of course, peace of mind.. So come with me and journey to the world of steamed veggies and fruits! Read on and I will describe to you the inexpensive tools needed to begin feeding your baby the food that will be the building blocks and foundation of a life long culinary journey! I believe in introducing a large variety of foods in the hopes that he will be a good eater and open to trying new textures and flavors in the years to come.
