This past weekend I tried my hand at homemade baby food. Why? you ask. I don't really know, except that I was pretty sure it couldn't be too hard and I wanted to feed Jenna something more homemade. So, I steamed some carrots and then broccoli and I let them cool. At first I put the carrots in the food processor to puree them, then I realized that the blender would be better. I added some formula and some white grape juice and blended it all until it looked smooth. I did the same with the broccoli and then put it in the fridge for today.
At lunch, we tried it. Well, Jenna tried it I just tried feeding it to her. She LIKED it! I was a bit worried because I didn't think it would taste exactly the same as the brand name stuff and altough she isn't picky I didn't know how she would respond. I doubt it tasted the same, but she really ate it down. She even ate the broccoli, which she has never had.
So, now I am going to try my hand at a few other flavors. I have potatoes on hand already. I will probably process those with cooked chicken. I also have corn, which I know Jenna likes. I have a recipe to process those with a few other veggies, but I may try them on their own first. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. There are some recipes on the net, but I think it is also a matter of taste. It will be a summer of experiments I guess. At least I have a baby who is willing to try almost anything!
