Making your own Baby food... using a machine or just your blender at home (either way)

I think I might try some since I'll be staying at home. If I was working, no way!
So I'll give it a thumbs up, but I know myself and will probably end up buying it lol

I say thumbs up... I generally get these great ideas and do them for a short while, then lose interest so we'll have to see how long it lasts!

I say thumbs up!! But I am like Cris, I lose interest in things fast, and who knows how much time I will have with a new baby and my husband gone working!!! Being alone with the baby, I may not have the time!!!

Up - I didn't make AJ's but I want to try to make some of the next one's. Most of my friends make their kids - and one of them has the Babycook and loves it, but I am just going to use my cuisinart. Baby food is just so expensive and I could make it for cheaper - I think at least.

I would say up as long as my schedule permitted. I'm usually pretty good about planning ahead for things like that

Up. My magic bullet will probably do well with making baby food.

Definitely up! I made all of Lochlann's baby food and plan to do the next baby's as well. Next time I hope to have a garden and grow a lot of the veggies myself. It was actually really easy and didn't take much time at all. The hard fruits/veggies I steamed first in my rice cooker and then pureed in the food processor (except for sweet potatos and butternut squash--I baked those first); poured it into ice cube trays, froze overnight and in the morning popped them out into gallon sized freezer bags so I could label and date it. Soft fruits (like pears, mango, etc.) I didn't have to steam first and could go right to the food processor. I usually only had to resupply every couple weeks. Also when doing chicken and other meats I would cook it in organic vegetable stock for a little flavor and to soften it up a lot.
I'd say applesauce was the worst to make though but that's just because I hate peeling apples.
