I made my first baby food! I had wanted to in the past, but we did not have a food processor. We got one when I was pregnant (it also can make milkshakes!!) and have finally made some food. It is not as hard as I thought, nor time consuming.I am sure that many out there have done it. This is my first. I knew it would save money...so here is what I did.
I got a one pound bag of peas for $0.88. I made a cup of peas (with plenty left over for later) and put them in the processor. One cup filled up half of an ice-cube tray. They are now in the freezer ready for when I need them. I only made a little just to experiment for right now. One cube should be enough to feed her at each feeding so I have 9 meals ready to go. I just hope she eats the peas!!!
Pass on any tips you have!!!

Sweet potatoes are super easy too. Just boil the potatoes, peel and puree with a bit of water. Both my boys LOVED them!
My kids both loved green beans too. Just steam them (you can even do it in the microwave) and puree with a bit of water.
Carrots I found did not work as well, I saved those for a chunkier baby food. I second sweet potatoes, those were great, as was creamed corn. And broccoli was a huge hit, too--go figure! My basic process for everything was steam and puree with a little added water if necessary.
