How to make easy "Peasy" home made baby food

Now that my son is getting to an age where he can start sampling solids, I'm having a blast making him dinner! Not only is it way easier and quicker than you can imagine, it is the best thing for him. I have been breastfeeding him to ensure he doesn't get anything extra he doesn't need, so why should his table foods be any different? I know there are no preservatives, added sugar, juices, acid, etc. If that isn't enough to convince you to give it a try, how about the fact that it is a fraction of the cost of the store bought junk!

This afternoon I made sweet potatoes, apple sauce, and carrots in a little over an hour using my Baby Brezza.

 It is a small investment, about $99,  but think of the money you will save! I've also heard from other parents they have continued to use it even when the children grow out of the baby food stage. You can use it to make those expensive fruit pouches,$1.49 each, using the Infantino Fresh Squeezed Squeeze Station.

The combinations you can make are endless and you can stop telling your child they are too expensive. The cost to make you own pouch of food is probably about .30ea!






So this is how simple it is!

Peel the potato

Chop the potato

Add water to the tank & put potatoes in the steam and blender. Press the steam + blend button. The time guidlelines are in the manual. For sweet potatoes it is 25 minutes.

In 25 minutes when the potatoes are cooked, the machine will automatically puree' it for you.

Let it cool and it is ready to eat. It is that easy! In 25 minutes I had fresh sweet potatoes for my son. You can add more water or breast milk to the puree' to get it to the consistency you want. Right out of the blender it is usually perfect, but once it sits in the fridge it thickens up a bit. This yields approximately 1 cup of food. It cost me .80 to make it. I will freeze more than half of it for later. You can freeze the extra in ice cube trays and take one out as needed. The ice cube trays make the perfect size for mixing foods once you know your baby doesn't have an allergy. An ice cube of peas and carrots or bannana and apples...the combinations are endless!!!

Happy baby food making!!
