Caroline is officially a big girl. She is starting to eat whatever Maggie and Kylie are eating, which means, I'm done making all her food. The following are a series of pictures of the process. This is what I started with, lots and lots of food.
So there were apples, pears, kiwis, blueberries, carrots, peas, green beans, brocolli, zucchini, corn, sweet potatoes, and squash.
Now that's a heck of a lot of baby food. Actually, 320 some tablespoons. I kept track. It makes me happy to see it all again. I ended up filling 24 tubs. Not sure how many cubes exactly. Maggie spent $20 on the food. The Gerber tubs that hold 3.5 oz, are sold in a 2 pack for $1.99 according to the interenet sites. So, what I made should have cost $92.
I loved being able to do this. Actually, I really liked doing it period. I would love to be able to make this something I do on the side for busy moms. I am starting a garden at my mom and dad's house full of all these veggies. Maggie's best friend is pregnant with her first baby and I hope to use food from my garden for him (i'm just sure it's a boy). Anyway, if you know some busy mom who wants quality food for less for her new bean, you send her my way!
