FEATURE ARTICLE,
Make Your Own Baby Food The Fast and Inexpensive Way
By Teresa Higginbotham
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever pick up all those cute little jars of baby food in your
grocery
store? As your baby gets older you find that those specialty
jars get more
and more expensive. Think about what's in those little jars and
that's
when you start saving money. You can do this yourself. You
already know
about introducing your child to new foods slowly, so here's how
to make
those simple foods that they love.
If you just want to give your baby a simple vegetable like
carrots, then
put carrot pieces with some bottled water into the microwave and
cook
until they are tender. Then puree the carrots until they are the
right
consistency for your child. Bananas are even simpler. Just mash
them and
add a little breast milk or formula to desired consistency. As I
gradually
introduced my children to new foods I finally ended up just
taking what we
ate and putting it in the blender. They had spaghetti, beef
stew, mashed
potatoes, simple soups, etc. Once you have made your smoothed
out dishes
then put them in an ice cube tray and freeze them. You can pop
out those
little chunks of baby food and put them in a ziploc bag, label
them and
put them back in the freezer. With all the costs of a little
one, having
one area where you can cut down helps. Here are a few recipes
for baby
food but always remember, the simpler the better.
Carrot-Rice Puree
2 tb Brown rice uncooked
6 Carrots, scrubbed and -chopped in small pieces
1 1/3 c Water
A nutritious, smooth dish with a bit of texture for older
infants. (or
broth or leftover cooking liquid from cooking vegetables) 1
teaspoon sweet
butter (optional) Place rice and carrots in a saucepan with the
water and
cover. Simmer until the water is absorbed--about 30 to 40
minutes. When
cool enough to handle, puree in blender or food processor with
butter
until smooth refrigerate, or freeze leftovers in ice cube tray.
Makes 1-1/
cups.

Casson Madden
Pureed Peas
2 1 c Fresh peas
1 ts Sweet butter
Formula, breast milk, or cooking water (about 8 teaspoons)
Boil or steam peas for 7 to 12 minutes or until tender. Drain
and puree in
your food processor or blender with some of the steam water or
formula or
breast milk until very smooth. Remove from the blender and mash
with
butter. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers in ice cube trays. Makes
2-8
servings.
