I have recently begun cooking Caleb homemade baby food. By cooking, I mean selecting which organic fruits and vegetables he will eat, dicing them, steaming them, pureeing them, and then freezing them in ice cube trays.
I realize that I don't really qualify to be called a chef based on the skills required to make baby food, but yet I feel like a gourmand every time I make a new baby food puree. So far I have made a tray of each of the following: apples, sweet potatoes, bananas, and carrots.
The recipes are stripped down to the bare minimum of ingredients for 6-month-olds and in about a month or so I can start making him much more creative dishes. I hope that I continue to be motivated in making his baby food, as it is much cheaper than store bought baby food jars and helps reduce waste.
I owe so much to my friend Jeni who inspired me to do this.
Caleb is about to be introduced to sweet potatoes.
Daddy goes in with a spoonful.
Can't you just hear Caleb saying, "Seriously guys, what is this stuff?"
