I have a magic bullet and a blender. Is that good enough, or do I need something fancy like a baby bullet?

That should be plenty. I jut use one of those smart stick hand blenders and that's been enough for me.

@Boogs: my mom has that and she loves it.
Good to know that I don't have to spend more money on something that will take up room in my tiny kitchen!

@artbee: I love multi-use things! It's great for baby food, soups, sauces, whatever you want really. Plus it came with a whisk and chopper attachment. For such a little thing it can do a lot.

I simply boil, steam, or roast solid foods for my LO. No puree action for me. He loves textures and not a big fan of normal baby food.

That's totally good enough. I used the Beaba Babycook and it's basically just a steamer and blender in one. I mentioned in another post that I loved the Beaba Silicone Trays and I would say look into those for baby puree. They're super easy to use. You just put the baby food in each "cup" and freeze the whole tray. Then when you're ready to serve one, you pop it out of the tray (which is why I love the silicone component ---super easy to pop out) and then defrost. I used the Kinderville bowls to defrost the food (also made of silicone). Good luck!

@Boogs: and handheld things are usually so much easier to clean!
@banana : I have a silicone ice cube tray. Do you think that would work for a food tray? It makes pretty big ice cubes so I'd be able to fit a good amount in there.

@artbee: Oh, those would work well too! And if you need to, you can always pop out two of them and defrost both. In the early stages (like 6 months - 10 months) I used the Kinderville bowls to defrost them in the steamer. At around 11 months I just defrosted them in the microwave.
Oh, also you may want to try feeding just one type of food at one time in the beginning to rule out any allergies (and also to get LO used to the flavors). Then you can start mixing different veggies for different flavors (like peas/carrots, broccoli/cauliflower, apple/pear, etc). The first foods are so much fun!
