Fresh Baby Food - Veggies

"This is a simple recipe to prepare fresh baby food for your baby rather than the expensive jars. Found this on a Vegetarian website, I think. It makes 8 cubes, so I put 8 servings since I would consider this a side dish."

  1. I make my own baby food, just like this recipe. My son loves pureed veggies (peas, carrots, green beans, blueberries, etc) fresh, but he won't eat them after they've been frozen. The texture turns distasteful since the moisture separates and the veggies part is kind of spongy. I think some people freeze puree; I wonder what their secret is.
     
  2. I made this for myself after dental surgery. It was pretty good. I also tried it using low sodium chicken broth as a liquid and that also worked well. Thanks for the share !

My name is Jessica & I'm 29. I am a Christian, SAHM, and am married to my wonderful husband Greg. We have a few different home based businesses we do on the side. I have a daughter Trinity - 7, two step daughters Kylie - 5, Kara - 4, and a son Grayson - born the end of December. Kids are back to school, and I am enjoying the break...if you could call it that! My time is now tied up by caring for my son, shuttling kids to and from school, soccer practice, church, bible study, etc. I am also learning to play the bass guitar. I love to cook...just not clean. (I'm VERY messy in the kitchen...could use every dish in the kitchen to make a bowl of oatmeal.) =)
