After a friend mentioned on her blog a new baby food website she'd discovered, I started pouring over the new recipes there. I found a recipe for "Sweet Toes". Here's a link to the site, Nurture Baby.
First I baked the sweet potatoes, with skin on....
The peels came off very easily. I cut them in chunks and pureed them with water and a teensy bit of cinnamon...
Then I plopped it in ice cube trays. I ended up with three trays full from nine medium sweet potatoes. James eats just one cube (watered down) a day. I figured it comes out to be $0.04 or $0.05 a cube!
And the verdict is...he likes it! He was doing a little sweet potato dance in between bites, because he wanted more! I really enjoyed the prep ahead and freeze method!

Fun! I never buy store baby food (except when traveling) because making your own is just SO easy. I have this little food mill that I can throw in my diaper bag and take with me if we go to a restaurant then I can just grind up whatever veggie I'm having. So nice. My babies always loved prunes but they are a real mess to make!
He is just a doll, Emily. I love the homemade babyfood too. So healthy!
P.S. Tell me about that new floor in an earlier post. It looked really nice. Was it wood or something different?
yummy!
love,

Yes little Ellie has a dimple - maybe two when the lighting is right...we haven't decided yet...and don't know where she got them! :) You totally inspired me about making our own baby food...can't wait! :)
