Well, last week was the first time for Emma that I did my BIG homemade baby food day. It is so nice to get this done and have the flexibility of grabbing whatever cube of food I need from the freezer. Not only does this save a ton of money and not having to get overloaded with empty baby food jars, it is healthier with no preservatives and gives you the ability to give small portions at a time and mix all kinds of food combos together. I mostly steam everything, but I did bake the squash and boil the peas. I use THIS website for tips and tricks. I then blend everything and pour the purees in ice cube trays because each cube is about one ounce of food. Then I freeze and put in labeled Ziploc bags. Here is what I was able to make out of everything:
2 sweet potatoes = 30 ounces
1 butternut squash = 38 ounces
1 acorn squash = 13 ounces
6 pears = 26 ounces
4 peaches = 26 ounces
11 carrots = 18 ounces
1/2 bag peas = 25 ounces
