Baby Food

Its that time again.... baby food time!
My little peanut is growing way too fast
With Jeffrey I bought all the baby food at the store and told myself that next baby I will make my own food!
So I did! Super easy I buy all my produce at Fresh and Easy great prices and great produce.
I add a little bit of water then blend in my magic bullet... and now I have baby food. (There are tons of recipes out there if you want to get fancy)
Storing the food got a little tricky so I bought Freshfoods™ Freezer Tray at Walmart for a few bucks to store the food in the freezer.
I would just defrost one cube at time or 2 depending on the day
I wanted to get glass baby food jars to re- heat or store in the fridge but I had to used all mine up for craft projects. So I decided to buy a few "random" food items just so the baby could try them.
I clean them and now ready to re-use
I noticed however that in the fridge I couldn't tell some foods apart like "green beans" vs "green peas" and Liberty was quite picky about what foods she liked so I came up with the idea of creating a mini Chalk board on the jar, that why I could write out what food it was and also the date.It work out great!
I used chalk board paint ( a couple of coats )
Let it dry
and good to go....
Making my own baby food and been so much cheaper and super easy!
Well worth it!
