So Naomi turned 6 months recently which means time for solid food. I knew that I wanted to make my own food and wanted to start with purees. I know that there are varying opinions about how to start solids and the best way to go. We decided to do purees, but I understand why others choose different paths. Since I knew where I wanted to start, my supermom said she could help. First we went to Trader Joe's to get all the vegetables and fruits. While there we got distracted by all of the pumpkin goodies...
The first thing we did was to cook all of the food either by steaming it, boiling it, or cooking it in the oven.
Once the food was cooked we blended it and placed the food into separate bowls. One for sweet potatoes, one for butternut squash, one for carrots, etc.
Then came the fun part! We (mostly supermom) started blending different fruits and veggies together. We tried the combinations as we went and they were all quite tasty!
Once the combinations were final I put them into little Tupperware containers. We actually ran out of containers and had to start using Ziploc baggies!
Here's a picture of all of the food once I got it home:
The best thing I learned is that you don't really need a recipe. We just blended things together and added the water it cooked in if it was too thick. We had so much fun being 'mad scientists'! Here are some of the foods that we made Naomi:
-butternut squash and sweet potatoes
-butternut squash and pears
-spinach and apples
-squash, quinoa, and carrots
Her favorite so far has been butternut squash!
From the looks of it she's loving the food:
