Baby Food

I have been wanting to try my hand at making baby food for a few months. Today I found some apples that were going to go to waste if I didn't do something with them so I figured if I ruined the applesauce it was going to the trash anyway! Plus everyone in the Bruce Fam knows I do NOT like baked apples, so obviously an apple crisp or pie were out of the question.

I peeled, steamed, and pureed the apples in the Magic Bullet (with a little bit of formula). Total time was about 10 minutes-- SUPER easy. I now have 10 jars of baby food for roughly $3.00. WAY better!


Now we will have to wait and see if Lucas even likes it! If he does I am going out to buy some more fruit/veggies and stock up the freezer.

Love it. I am addicted to making baby food - too bad Van is pretty much over it. His faves are squash and yams, of course. I just steamed it in the microwave - so easy!

Has Lucas tried the applesauce yet? I would love to see his face with the first bite. If he does not like it, I am sure Izzy will. She loves apples. Kiss everyone for me. Mom
