Baby Food Extravaganza

     We are getting low on my freezer stock pile of baby food.  Even though Harmony is 9 months old and loves to feed herself finger foods, I still feed her home made baby food.  Only 1 out of 3 bites she tries to shove into her own mouth makes it there so it my attempt to fatten her up a bit, I feed spoon feed her as well.

     On today's menu is :

• Sweet Potato
• Apple Sauce
• Pears
• Peas
• Avocado
• Maybe some chicken if I get to it

     Making your own baby food is such a money saver and I like to know whats in my baby's food.  Jarred baby food smells and looks disgusting.  Home made stuff tastes and smells like real food. Even my older kids beg for some.  Camden will chow down pureed chicken, Ella loves pureed carrots and who doesn't love home made applesauce. I will even throw a frozen cube of carrot or another veggie into our pasta sauces or meat loaf  as a way to get extra veggies into everyone.  I really wish I had not been such a first time mom with Ella and bought everything just because it had a cute smiling baby on the package.  I lived and learned and actually enjoy preparing the little ones food.
