After they have been pureed into nothing-ness! Seriously though – making your own baby food is so easy, and way more affordable than buying it. I love the fact that I know exactly what is going into my baby’s body. I love how easy it is. And did I mention affordable????
The picture below contains 3 Organic Sweet Potatoes – for less than $1.00 each – so for around $3.00 I got easily 12 big servings of sweet potatoes for Kellan – which I have to believe even a serious couponer would have trouble beating… Anyway you look at it – those seem like 3 very good reasons to make your own baby food.
(This is Kellan ‘savoring’ his Winter Squash from dinner tonight – we have not tried sweet potatoes yet…)
Editing to Add: These are the books we are using to make our baby food – as well as wholesomebabyfood.com
1. 
Cooking for Baby – Wholesome, Homemade, Delicious Foods for 6-18 months
2.
The Petit Appetit Cookbook – Easy Organic Recipes to Nurture your Baby and Toddler
The reason why I like these books so much is it takes you from purees through beginning finger foods, and beyond. And as a result will hopefully open up my everyday cooking to new recipes and ideas as well!

D has decided in the last few days to be done with purees completely…but I LOVED making his food. It's nuts how expensive it is to buy the containers of food! He would eat 2 maybe 3 of those in one sitting, at almost a dollar each that ads up quickly! Sweet potatoes was one of his favorites. I still plan on baking him some sweet potato sticks
Hey he have the same counter tops 🙂
Thanks for posting this Em! 🙂 I am so excited to get home and start making Andrew some new foods. I blended up some bananas and froze it the other day, just haven't used them. And I can NOT wait to start teaching him signs! 😀

I must say that it's awesome making your own baby food, it is way cheaper and tastes MUCH better. I did it for my kids.
Anywhoo, have a good one. 🙂
