A couple days ago I went to the store to get our regular groceries. I have been wanting to try to make some of Addie's food at home. 1st reason to save money 2nd reason it's so fresh 3rd reason...it's fun! I loved mixing things together...or at least planning things in my head that I want to mix in the future. I really just bought a couple things to start out and see how it went first.
I bought sweet potatoes, summer squash, peaches, apples (and we already had strawberries, blueberries and bananas). I realized when I got home I didn't buy anything green (AND THAT'S HER FAVORITE :)). OOPS. I have a bag of spinach I could steam and puree, but I read something about the nitrates possibly being dangerous, so I might hold off and just go buy some green beans or asparagus. Has anyone tried broccoli? I would imagine it would give her really bad gas?! :)
The peaches came out perfectly. The sweet potatoes worked out really well too, I think I ate too much of it along the way. The summer squash blended really well too and she LOVES that. I mixed the bananas and strawberry together and she really like that too. I know she isn't supposed to have strawberry until 12 months...but we tried it a month ago (being brave) and she has done fine with it. I am so happy about this because of my fear of her getting my multiple food allergies. I tried some of the blueberries, but they didn't seem to be worth the money. They boil down to hardly anything...and then were really runny. I added oatmeal to her blueberry puree. 
I saved a bunch of the gerber 2nd stage food plastic containers and have used those to store the food in. I also used the ice cube trays for some of them.
Any tips or fun recipes?
