I wanted to ask you whether you are still doing your own baby food? How do you do squash and stuff? I was thinking about it and then realized, if I am so lazy that I do pre-mixed formula, there is no way I am going to be hauling out the food processor and making baby food at night, while packing lunches, laying out clothes, and cleaning - all in a span of time from 9pm until 10pm (my only free time at night).
castlegazer these are my favorite recipes that mommy made for me so far:
PEAS
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 Tbs. water
microwave on high about 2-3 minutes
let cool a few minutes
puree
(since the peas had already been frozen once I only make enough for a couple days and keep in the refrigerator.)
YELLOW SQAUSH
- fresh yellow squash
- water
slice squash and put into microwave safe dish
add a little water
microwave on high about 5-7 minutes, or until done
let cool a couple minutes
puree
spoon into ice tray and freeze
GREEN BEANS
cut ends off green beans then cut in half and put into microwave safe dish
add a little water
microwave on high about 5-7 minutes, or until done
let cool a couple minutes
puree
spoon into ice tray and freeze
I haven't had sweet potatoes yet, but I heard mommy and daddy talking that I'll get to try them tonight.
SWEET POTATO
wash and pierce with fork a few times
place on paper towels (about 3) in microwave
