I decided that since Malia got the all clear from her doctor to start solids, I would whip up some homemade applesauce. I have to say it is pretty yummy! I have since even made a larger batch for the rest of us. I even tossed some blueberries in for Alyssa. She loved having purple applesauce.
Malia recieved a pretty hefty Amazon gift card when she was born so I have been using it for stuff that I normally would not buy. I have been really lucky and bought a few things that were huge hits! A few of these things have been for this baby food making adventure.
The first is this AWESOME apple peeler, corer, slicer. I was able to do 5 pounds of apples in under 10 minutes! I found it here.
It makes these really cool spiral apples that are neat just by themselves. Alyssa has had them in her lunch the past few days and all her friends what to know where her mom bought the cool apples. I just cut down the side and it made them into slices which are perfect to throw in the pan.
It really was as simple as cooking them in some water for about 30 minutes. After that I cooled them down overnight in the fridge. I pulled them out the next day and pureed them in my Magic Bullet in a few batches. I spooned the puree into this other cool gadget. It is basiclly a fancy ice cube tray with a lid. I found it here.
From there it went into the freezer. The next day I popped the cubes out and stuck them in a labeled ziplock freezer bag to be used as needed. I can't believe how easy it really was.
I am pretty sure Malia approves!
Next up, sweet potatoes (or yams, if you will).
