When I was talking about writing today. The Little Growing Boy ask "What about?" and I said "Baby Carrots". To which he said "Ha! Get it Baby-Carrots?" Yep I get it. Little boy humor can be so funny somtimes. Just incase you're wondering that's where the title came from.
When our boys were little and it came time to start them on "baby food", I just like most other new moms headed off to the grocery store to stock up on all those little jars. Those EXPENSIVE little jars. Pretty soon I realized that I could make the same thing using a little blender that I already owned and the food I was already cooking. Now several year and a few babies later I'm blessed to be making up a few more batches of "baby food". Yesterday I decided that whle I had use of the amazing new baby bullet (a steal at only $14) I would cook up some peaches, apples, and carrots. You guessed it Baby Carrots.
The baby carrots from our high tunnel are finally big enough to pick and man are they delicious, crip, sweet, fresh...I could go on but you get the picture. The boys and I picked a few, cooked them untill tender, ran them through the baby bullet and voila baby food. Which by the way my sister's little one gobbled up faster that I could shovel it in. Some of the food was placed in the fridge for eating now and some was put in ice cube trays and froze for later. No extra seasoning was added to the food ie salt, sugar, butter.
It doesn't get any better than delicious, local, natural baby food!
