Baby Food Crazy!!

The Adventures in Homemade Baby Food Continues!

We went baby food crazy this morning! 

Okay. 

I went crazy this morning. 

There are now 6 batches freezing. Two are in the fridge, still in the blender cups, waiting for the ice cube trays to be free. That's 7 different types. 5 new flavors or combos along with two that she really loved that we'd run out of. And, I'm not even done with the ingredients I bought!

Today we've got:

• Yellow Squash & Rice (cereal);   A past favorite!
• Carrots & Yellow Squash;         Another past winning combo.
• Green Beans;                     A brand new veggie.
• Banana Apple;                    New combo.
• Nutmeg Butternut Squash;         She loves one squash, we'll try another.
• ABC's- Avacado, Banana & Carrot; Nutritious new combo. 
• Carrot, Apple & Rice (cereal)    Another new combo.

I have quite a stash of other yummy stuff to make, but we'll see how fast I can get through it, my dad comes to visit in a couple days!! It will be his first time meeting Cassandra. I know that is one of the reasons he came back to the states. He has lived in Thailand for many years now, where he teaches English as a foreign language at a University in Petchaburi.

Day 4

Just a quick update:

So the other night produced a one gallon Ziploc bag full of Sweet Apple Pumpkin baby food cubes and  one tiny snack sized bag of Apple Raspberry cubes. Tonight so far we have one full tray of Cinnamon Sweet Potato Banana. The blender needs to cool off for a while now and baby had a super dirty diaper to take care of so we are letting Tiny eat and relaxing with some How I Met Your Mother. 

Next up blending the rest of the straight up sweet potatoes. 

Sorry sweetie. The other banana is all mine! :)

Adventures of Making Homemade Baby Food

I have just began my first steps into the: 

"Adventures of Making Homemade Baby Food." 

Why waste the pumpkin that never got carved when I can make puree out of it and make some baby food without preservatives and other crap! I know it's 'not as sweet' as pie pumpkins but I think I found a recipe that makes up for it.

Sweet Apple-Pumpkin Baby Puree

We actually did some "Black Friday" shopping. (Don't hate me.) We waited until almost noon to go out. I have a hard time passing up killer deals but nothing and I do mean nothing is worth fighting other people; standing in line hours and freezing my ass for! I did manage to wrangle myself a fire pit for 22 bucks! YES! My back yard is gonna fall into place next year!! Bricked off patio with a picnic table and grill, a fire pit and my garden area! 

Hopefully we can rebuild the retaining wall and put in the other steps by the garage like I want too. Then all we need is a Koi pond! Which conveniently enough my brother-in-law can help with!

I can't wait until SPRING!
