Baby food — beans

Holly was ready to start eating vegetables. My parents had plenty of green beans from their garden, so my mother suggested we turn some beans into baby food. We gave it a whirl and it has been a resounding success. We have created baby food from green beans, peaches, and squash so far. I have to admit that it tastes better than the baby food we buy in the store. It isn’t too hard to make either.

The first step is to prepare the fruit/vegetables for blending. In the case of beans, they are prepared for steaming by washing them and snipping off the top.

The second and final step is to blend up the fruit/vegetable. This is the fun part :)

When the food is finally blended smoothly enough I put it in a storage container and put it in the fridge or freezer for storage.

Yummy, yummy! It actually doesn’t taste bad…
