Save your money!

Last week I bought this lovely at Target...

What for you ask???

To make baby food, OF COURSE!

My BFF Brooke has made both her girls baby food and said it was super easy.  I liked the idea of knowing exactly what was in each serving as well as knowing it was fresh and healthy.  Obviously, I also like to make sure that I have a FULL plate and plenty to do!

With that being said, I didn't want to invest in one of those pricey food processors just in case I didn't like making my own baby food.

I made a few batches using my blender and my mixer but that wasn't so easy.  The peas were a mess.  Once I pushed all the skins through the sieve I only had 4 ounces of 'pea juice' to make into food.

ENTER THE OSTER HAND BLENDER!

For a whopping $19.99 I got just what I need to make Easton's food.

This bad boy is ALL YOU NEED!

We've tried butternut squash, peaches, green peas, green beans and sweet potatoes.  And, I might add- the boy loves some orange food- you can keep the green to yourself, but he'll 'lap' that orange right up!

Save your money on those high priced fancy schmancy food processors and buy this hand blender!

And buy these cups (not crazy about how they snap) OR these cups (lids screw on)

then buy these labels to stick on all your cups and you're ready to go.

OH---then go here for all your recipes and a stage by stage guide of what to feed your little one.

Making your own baby food is so easy! 

Take a little time each week to make and freeze your baby food.

I freeze mine in ice cube trays first then pop them out and put them in a freezer bag and label it.

I put the cubes in the cups the night before they're needed for school or I'll just pull them out and heat them when I need them at home. 

Easy peasy!

There you go, your one stop shop for your homemade baby food needs!
