Today's post comes from Janiel, who makes all of her own baby food! Besides being a great way to save some money, Janiel makes everything her 9-month-old baby eats because that way she knows what's in it! And after reading these recipes I think Janiel's Baby is getting a gourmet meal, lucky baby!
Here's a couple of her baby's favorite recipes:
Cinderella's Pumpkin
(Don't ya just love the name?)
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup washed and sliced white part of the leek
Half a small pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes
1/2 cup water
Melt the butter in a saucepan and saute the leek until lightly golden. Add the pumpkin or butternut squash and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the water, bring to a boil and then simmer, covered for 30 minutes or until the squash is tender. Puree in a blender, or mash with a fork for older babies.
Banana Blueberry
1/4 cup blueberries
1 small banana
Put blueberries into a saucepan together with 1 Tablespoon water and cook for about 2 minutes or until the fruit just starts to burst open. Put in blender with banana and puree until smooth.
Because these recipes may make more than your baby can eat at one time, I like to fill an ice cube tray with the remaining mixtures and then freeze it for later!
Thank you so much, Janiel, for sharing a great tip for Makin' Your Family More Fabulous!
