Ecotot: Homemade Baby Food

Having grown up in California, I've been spoiled by fresh food. So, when it came time to feed my babies soft solids, I opted for the most appealing and pure, glass-bottled brands I could find like Earth's Best and Healthy Times. Though my husband was the official taste tester in our family, I had a hard time feeding my kids jarred food. And, pureeing the baby food myself was too time consuming.

Luckily, I discovered Homemade Baby, a line of freshly prepared, kosher, and organic baby food that comes in refrigerated recyclable grab-and-go containers and were convenient for our on-the-go lifestyle.

Offering three stages — So Smooth for babies 6–8 months old, Good Mushy for babies 9–12 months old, and Kinda Chunky for children over a year, the selections — Just Peas, Piwi (pears and kiwi), and Yummy Yammies (a combination of yams, lentils and other veggies), cost just a bit more than the shelf-stored organic brands and taste great.

    You can make your own, too. I thought it would be hard, but it's not. Just boil the veggies plain. Then blend in a blender or food processor and put them in ice trays. When they harden, just pop them out and heat up 1 or 2 cubes per serving. You can totally control the thickness too by the amount of water you put in.

    Or you can just read "Super Baby Food."

    My kids never liked store bought baby food so I made my own.

    I want to make my own food but if it becomes too time consuming I'll be sure to give these a try.

    we almost alway made our own, too. freezing it in ice cube trays was the key to keeping the labor manageable. these would be great for traveling!

    I try to make my own baby food as well, but like to buy the jar foods (organic of course) for those times when we're out and about and when I don't have a fridge/freezer near by. also my little one tends to like jarred peas over my home made peas and vice versa on the apple sauce.

    I thought that making baby food was time consuming until I started to do it. Its much cheaper and my son likes it way better. Just boil or bake an then mush or blend.I even saved my plastic gerber containers from when i wasnt feeding him so I dont even need ice trays. I have meal sized frozen containers and it takes 30 seconds to thaw an maybe 2 minutes to feed Eye-wink
