So soon after I had my son i made up my mind to become a stay at home mom. Lets face it for daycare bills alone what I made at my old job bi weekly wouldnt be enough to cover the daycare bills. So after giving up my job I saw myself with so much time on my hands. You can only clean the house so much play with the baby so much untill (s)he got crabby for a nap or for food. So i thought. There is always something to do around the house, or chasing around a 9 month old who thinks buttons are apart of the food groups. I found myself enjoying nap time by make home made baby food. I love the feeling that i am giving my son the real meal that I made with LOVE. Its not something i jusy popped the cap off of and pour it out of a jar. Now im not knocking jar baby food , i myself was a jar food child. i just feel that i can safe money and do something with my time so i chose to do home made baby food. i figured i would share one of my sons fav fruits to show you how easy it is to make :0)

Peal and wash Peaches
Pit the peach
Cut peach into cubs
Place fruit(s) into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing
Put puree peaching into a ice cub tray
