I have never been tempted by mass produced baby food, but homemade seems like it would be really nice - especially the fruit blends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-354207 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:10:16 +0000 Mrsbells 354207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353723 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:56:23 +0000 Honeybee 353723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good work!

So the next day I only heated up 1 cube ( 1 oz) but she eat it all really fast and seemed to want more. so today I will try two cubes and see if she can finish that.</p> <p>@caffeinated: Yep this was her first veggie, her first taste of solid food. Yeah once I get past 'introducing" her to different foods, I will start trying different combos. The mumi &amp; bubi site has some recipes too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353506 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:50:04 +0000 Freckles 353506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: i recently did a sweet potato-carrot-beets-pea puree, and even my husband said it was yummy! i think cookbooks are good b/c sometimes you just need ideas. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353504 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:48:34 +0000 Freckles 353504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's great! I was hoping you'd do an update! Was this her first veggie? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353502 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:47:35 +0000 meredithNYC 353502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is good to know! We are going to start with some purees probably in the next 2-3 weeks, so it's great hearing what works and what doesn't.</p> <p>One of my friends gave me the "Weelicious" cook book and I have been looking through that. I hadn't heard of the website previously, so I have been checking out some of the online "recipes", as well. It's kind of silly to need a cook book for purees, of course, but I do find some of the food combinations she suggests pretty interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353491 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:44:38 +0000 mrsjazz 353491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: How did she like them? How much did she eat? :)</p> <p>Good to know. I may pick some up the next time I go to the Farmer's market. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353488 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:44:11 +0000 T-Mom 353488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome! The fine grittiness is what my LO didnt' like.. but maybe mine was a little more gritty than yours :-). Good job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353476 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:40:15 +0000 Arden 353476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love green beans! Lucky baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-homemade-green-beans#post-353448 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:30:50 +0000 Mrsbells 353448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to come back and update on my previous post <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-made-baby-food-green-beans" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-made-baby-food-green-beans</a><br /> I had no problems with the green beans at all. I was expecting it to be really chunky, lumpy and stringy but it was fine. I didnt even need to use the strainer. I added 5 oz of breast milk to about 4 cups of green beans and blended it until it was smooth and creamy. it did have a a very fine gritty-ness to it if you looked very hard, but overall it was very smooth and my baby did great with it! </p>
