I did what @T.H.O.U.: at the beginning as well.</p> <p>I didn't buy anything new. Just used a steamer I had and an immersion blender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-making-your-own-baby-food#post-840244 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 14:32:15 +0000 jackieomy 840244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We steamed vegetables and used a food mill. The manual food mill (Oxo brand) was inexpensive, super easy to clean, and didn't take up valuable kitchen space. </p> <p>After making up batches of food for the week, we froze in ice-cube trays and then transferred the frozen cubes into ziploc freezer bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-making-your-own-baby-food#post-840223 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 14:27:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 840223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to just bake/steam a bunch of fruits/veggies (sweet potatoes, squashes, peas, etc) and then put them in the food processor. From the food processor we put in the ice cube trays to freeze. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-making-your-own-baby-food#post-840219 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 14:25:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 840219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What was the diagnosis? I didn't see -- so I'm not sure if you need more specific recipes like dairy/wheat free --- but I had pinned this link and it seems really good - she has a little series on purees. I also was given a cookbook that was good, I can look up the name &amp; let you know - but it seems better for bigger kid food.</p> <p>Here's the link: <a href="http://fitnessista.com/2012/08/1-month-of-baby-food-1-hour-20/" rel="nofollow">http://fitnessista.com/2012/08/1-month-of-baby-food-1-hour-20/</a></p> <p>I haven't made a ton of food, but am hoping to do it more -- I have made a few items, and just used my Cuisinart Food Processor, and steamed/baked items.</p> <p>I also bought these to store food in:<br /> <a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/oxo-tot-baby-blocks-freezer-storage-containers-2-oz-green-170058?site=CA&#038;utm_source=Google&#038;utm_medium=cpc_D&#038;utm_term=ZZP-093&#038;utm_campaign=GooglePLA&#038;CAWELAID=1338685319&#038;utm_content=pla&#038;ca_sku=ZZP-093&#038;ca_gpa=pla&#038;ca_kw=" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/p/oxo-tot-baby-blocks-freezer-storage-containers-2-oz-green-170058?site=CA&#038;utm_source=Google&#038;utm_medium=cpc_D&#038;utm_term=ZZP-093&#038;utm_campaign=GooglePLA&#038;CAWELAID=1338685319&#038;utm_content=pla&#038;ca_sku=ZZP-093&#038;ca_gpa=pla&#038;ca_kw=</a>{keyword}</p> <p>there may be better ones, I'd like to see what others say, but they work for now - they hold 2 oz of food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-making-your-own-baby-food#post-840209 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 14:23:30 +0000 sunny 840209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread might help! <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-making-your-own-baby-food-time-consuming" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-making-your-own-baby-food-time-consuming</a></p> <p>My post there has info on what I do for making purees.

But...I'm completely clueless on how to start, what the best tools are, ect. </p> <p>I need convenience as I'm a WOHM and don't have a lot of extra time at nights. Ideally I would make everything on Sunday for the week. Let me know how you do it, and any gadgets you use to make it easier &amp; quicker on yourself ! Thanks!!! </p>
