Today I started with carrots. I washed, peeled, washed again and cut up 6 carrots. Steamed them for 15 min, threw them in the food processor, added some breast milk and wa-la, I had me a weeks worth of carrots!
Then I sent Greg to the store with a list... I wanted to make more! He brought home parsnips, a rutabaga, apples and a papaya. I had a butternut squash on hand and I also wanted sweet potatoes but we've been to 2 grocery stores and can't find them.
My motivation drifted after the carrots and I only got the parsnips done and the squash cut up. But it will get done within the next few days since we are almost out of our store bought baby food.
Parsnips ready to go into the freezer...
6 containers of carrots and 6 containers of parsnips!
It was surprisingly easy to do. I'm excited to try the fruit too. Most of the fruit and some of the veggies just require simple mashing and not cooking what so ever. Easy peasy. I've had the help of this little book below... in case you were interested. :)

You are a rock star!!! My baby will remain on the gerber plan...=p
GREAT JOB! I loved making baby food. Those little containers you have are so perfect! I wish I had some of those when I was doing it!
i make home made dips, like ranch or whatever for celery and portion them out for the week so rob and i just grab one for our lunch in the am, and i cut the celery and carrots ahead of time so they are ready too. i also use things like that for dippers, like ketchup in brandons lunch box, and i also make pudding and jello (much cheaper home made) and then portion those out for the boys lunch, that way in the am i just grab a container and toss it in
