Making Your Own Baby Food

If your family has had a recent addition, you have probably started to notice that along with a cute smile and cuddly face, other things are changing. With a new baby the bills are going to go up, you are going to be more tired, and have less time to yourself. However, we all must accept this when a baby comes along; these are just the things that happen. However, there is a new movement in America now that things are getting even tighter. Making your own baby food is not only a great idea, it’s cheaper and you get to decide exactly what your child is eating.

To get you started here a few recipes for homemade baby food for you to try:

Broccoli-Corn Casserole for Babies

For a more lunch or dinner oriented food, try this great healthy meal. You will need a cup of steamed broccoli and corn, cooking both as tenderly as possible. You also need two tablespoons of bread crumbs, and cooked onion. And for the consistency you will need either chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water. Making baby food is not that complicated, which is why there is no excuse. Mix all of these ingredients together in a blender and make it the best consistency as you want. A great way to keep this is to freeze it into an ice cube tray for later eating.

Cheese and Veggies for Baby

For this lunchtime meal you need an eighth cup of two percent milk, a half cup of cottage cheese, a third cup of cream cheese, an eighth cup of shredded cheddar, a fourth cup of soft peas, and an eighth cup of cooked carrots. Make sure that all of these vegetables are very well cooked, soft, and ready for blending. Keeping this in the fridge is great, just remember to heat it up a little bit before feeding so that the cheese melts and isn’t too hard.

Making your own baby food can greatly cut down on costs as well as giving your baby the best diet that they can possibly get.
