Operation: Homemade Baby Food

We have been toying with the idea of making our own baby food for awhile now & finally this weekend we decided to give it a try. We were sick of buying babyfood- & figured it was much cheaper & healthier to make our own. We bought 3 sweet potatoes & 2 squash for about $6 total & I would guess we have about 3ish weeks of food ready to eat now!


Here is how it went...[it was SUPER easy] Oh & the process is pretty much identical for both veggies.



First, I peeled and chopped the sweet potatoes.

Then I boiled them until they were really soft....

Then in semi-small portions, I blended them in our blender [we are heading out to buy a food processor this week because our blender is cheap & pretty much sucks].




Then, dished them out into ice cube trays & threw them in the freezer.

After a few hours, I popped them out of the trays and put them into labeled freezer baggies.


Just to give you an idea...this is how much squash we have after using 2 average size squash- & this is a pretty big tupperware container...

We will give Henry his first taste tonight...hopefully he likes it!
