Adventures in Baby Food Making

We have started Coleman on solid foods. First was rice cereal - a huge hit with my little man. He LOVES to eat! We've also tried a variety of foods as well since the rice cereal such as sweet potatoes, avocados, butternut squash, green beans, pears, bananas, peas, peaches, and applesauce. YUM! All have been a huge hit especially the sweet potatoes and green beans.

I decided that I wanted to make Coleman a lot of his food for a few reasons.

1. It's cheaper
2. It's healthier
3. It's cool to say that I make a lot of his food

So here is a look at our first few adventures with food...

Coleman's first taste of rice cereal: YUM!


The first food I made for Coleman was sweet potatoes. The store had them on sale for 25 cents a pound (AWESOME!) I bought a pound of them and got about a month and a halfs worth of meals for my little man - That's good savings!! I cooked the potatoes in the oven, scooped out the insides, blended them (as well as adding water to make them smooth), and froze them in ice cube trays.

Colie loved them!





Avocados weren't as big of a hit at first, but once he got used to them he fell in love. They are super easy to freeze as well. I scoop out the insides, put them through my food mill, and freeze. Avocados are in season now, so I only buy them when they are on sale. But it's a super easy food to travel with! Justin got me an avocado slicer for Christmas and it has made it so much easier too!
