If parents didn’t make their own food when their tots were starting out on solids, is it too late to go fresh?

"Have a dedicated drawer in the fridge for vegetables they want to cook and roast. I would incorporate part of what you’re cooking into what the rest of the family is going to eat. It starts to make life easy if you’re not a short order cook, and you’re not trying to make a lot of different things. If you’re going to make a Roast Turkey With Sweet Potato, Brown Rice, and Cranberries, I would focus on one of those vegetables that the rest of the family is going to enjoy and turn it into baby food for your toddler. So focus on that, and then it’s easy to streamline everything else."

I think it's so important for pregnant women to eat vegetables, and not from a health standpoint. I read somewhere that a baby's tastebuds develop in utero, so whatever the mom is eating is going to be what the baby likes. I don't know how true this is, but my daughter's fave foods are blueberries, broccoli, mango and other foods I ate a LOT of when I was pregnant. She also likes spicy foods, and I ate Tabasco on everything for about 3 months. (And chocolate.....)
