Summer: Day 12: Gourmet Baby

The pediatrician said starting food at 4 months was fine. He recommended cereals and oatmeals but I was just not feeling that. I want my little man to eat his veggies and fruits instead of carbs. So onto the next culinary chapter of my life...baby food.

I looked up a few recipes on pinterest and they all pretty much said the same thing. Boil until very soft, use the water it was boiled in and blend it up until is smooth and runny.  

My first two baby food attempts have been successful. Sweet potatoes and blueberries.

I used 1 sweet potato. Peeled, cubed and boiled it until very soft. Then came the vitamix and the cinnamon. I added a little bit of cinnamon to the potato in the vitamix. It smelled and tasted like pumpkin pie without the sugar. He loved it. 1 potato made enough for four days of meals. 

The blueberries were a bit more cumbersome. They were pureed and then strained so I could remove the majority of the skins. I froze the puree. When it thawed it looked super weird, almost like gelatin so I threw it back in the vitamix with a banana and the rest of the sweet potatoes.

He loves it!
