And She said let there be Baby food

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)
Peaches
  1. Peal and wash Peaches
  2. Pit the peach
  3. Cut peach into cubs
  4. Place fruit(s) into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing 
  5.  Put puree peaching into a ice cub tray
  6. chill in freezer for a few hours
  7. Remove from tray and put into a zip lock bag ( dont forget to lable them)
  8. When time to eat remove as many cubes as your LO will eat and defrost.
I use the micro for no more then 45 sec to defrost baby food!
9.Add cereal (if desired) to thicken up. or serve alone like i do !
