These are my favorite baby food making/storing tools:
A steamer basket that I already owned (similar to this one
A mini food processor
, also already owned:
These awesome little baby food holders
:
You can just use regular old ice cube trays too but I like these because they have lids and little oz markers and I can just store/freeze/thaw and serve all from the same container.
This random thing
that might seem ridiculous but I use it every day. A banana could be served with like 5 separate meals around here! This thing keeps from wasting the rest easily.
And now a demo of the ease of delicious baby food making...on this particular day, we were preparing pear and parsnip puree (which she LOVED by the way)
Take a pear and parsnip (preferably organic):
Peel & Cut:
Pour in steamer basket:
Put the lid on and steam until everything is fork tender (8 minutes or so):
Puree until it's the consistency you want....add water (or breast milk or formula) to help it along if you need to:
Take a taste and make sure the consistency and taste is good:
Put it in containers....2 pears and 2 parsnips made 9 containers worth of meals!
Watch baby enjoy!
...and one more add to our list of loves. This high chair
goes everywhere with us and folds up nice and small.
I can't wait to keep trying new fun combos! Anyone have any baby food tools they can't live without?
