Making Baby Food

So this is my first attempt to make baby food.  We will see how this goes and how long it lasts! Organic carrots are the first veggies I am trying.  I failed to take a "before" picture, but I put the carrots in a baking dish and roasted them.  This will probably be the method I use every time I make baby food, along with steaming (gotta keep those nutrients in)!  Yes, it might sound time-consuming but just one hour of cooking and preparation makes a lot of food for the future (not to mention the health and cost benefits too).  Here's how I did it and if Ella liked them or not:

After carrots were done baking I blended to desired consistency. This part is actually kind of fun!

When done pureeing I put some aside for Ella then the rest in ice trays, covered with plastic wrap, then put them in the freezer.

After frozen I transferred the cubes into a Ziploc freezer bag and put in freezer. Done!

Now, for the moment of truth...

 MMmmmmm!!


Didn't last long though.  A few bites later the smiles turned into this,

and this,

and then some gagging, but I won't show that picture!

Poor Ella.  I think I probably need to add a little more water to the carrots when I thaw them out. Might have been a little too bitter. Whoops! Trial and error though, right? 

By the way, I love the website http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/, that's where I got most all of the ideas on how to make and store baby food.

Also, Ella turned 6 months old today! Will have that post later!
