Simple Homemade Baby Food
Think you don't have time to whip up a nutritious, homemade meal for your very hungry baby? Even takeout queens will find these recipes -- made with stuff you usually toss into your shopping cart -- quick and easy to make. Added bonus: You'll be happy to know that every bite is packed with many of the vitamins and minerals Baby needs and you'll likely save money (hello, college fund!) by using fresh or frozen veggies instead of purchasing pricey premade purees.
To get started, all you'll need is a food processor or blender and a saucepan. If your baby is just beginning to snack on solids, you'll want these purees to be thin enough for her to swallow easily -- you might need to add a teaspoon or two of water to get the right consistency. After he adapts to eating real food, he'll be able to handle a thicker puree.

However, if you're eating egg salad or a peanut butter sandwich, it is nice to have something healthy in the freezer (like these recipes.) In addition, these are nice when you are first introducing foods because you have few ingredients and so it will be easier to determine the source of any allergies that crop up. But remember to add spices so they'll like the flavors you do.

I'm having gastric bypass surgery on May 3rd and won't be able to eat solid food for some time afterward. I've read through all these recipes and am no longer dreading the semi-soft diet I'll be on for a while. These recipes sound wonderful! Thanks to Parents Magazine for this article!
