Babies Eat Everyday!

Oscar started eating mushy food a few weeks ago and I recently came to the realization that now we have to feed him everyday for the rest of his life. The horror! Next thing I know he will be asking me for a game system!


In preparation to feed another mouth (baby steps, baby steps) we pooled my thrifty and Henry's health conscious parenting skills together and made Oscar a stockpile of food.


Here is our system. (Photos are sporadic but you'll get the point.)


1. Buy fresh organic veggies.
  a. Carrots
  b. Sweet Potatoes
  c. Squash
  d. Broccoli

2. Boil all the veggies. 

3. Blend or Food Process cooked veggies into mush.

4. Put on trays in blobs, wax paper, blobs, wax paper, blobs...

you get the point!


5. Freeze

Busted! Oscar gets organic veggies and the rest of us eat frozen pizzas.

6. Put frozen blobs in Ziploc bags.

100% vegetables at a fraction of the cost of those little baby food containers. We also froze blobs of apple sauce, made from, you guessed it, apples! Defrost a couple of discs for dinner and end of story....until tomorrow.
