Goodbye Gerber... Hello Homemade!!!

Love this book!

   I have been buying organic baby food for Easton since he was about 4 months old. Each packet cost between $1.47 and $1.99ish, depending on what store I purchased it from. It didn't seem all that expensive at first, but now that he is over 7 months and eating three meals a day, its getting pricey! So as I was enjoying an afternoon of Goodwilling with my Mother (yeah that's right we were poppin' tags like Macklemore), I purchased an awesome book for $1.50 called "Top 100 Baby Purees... 100 Quick And Easy Meals For A Healthy And Happy Baby" by Annabel Karmel.
  


Pea Puree and Applesauce

   Finally, last night I pulled it off the shelf and flagged a few recipes to try. How hard could it be? Especially since I have a Magic Bullet that my husband bought me for our very first Christmas together and yes it was from an infomercial and yes a majority of my gifts from him are also from infomercials! Actually, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was! The results were steamed peas pureed in my Magic Bullet and apples sliced, cooked and pureed in the MB as well. I topped the applesauce with a sprinkle of cinnamon and voila... he loved it!    
   I would estimate that this will save me approximately $50 - $75.00 per month. The trade off is a very messy kitchen that I still need to clean during American Idol commercial breaks, but very worth it for nutritional purposes and all the money saved!


Awwww he likes it!
