food for thought

Again like we did with Rigby we are making our own baby food. i don't know why everyone doesn't do it. i don't do it because i am worried about chemicals or anything like that i do it due to price. i saw a story on the news that baby food industry is a 55 million a year commercial enterprise. at 90 cents to over a dollar a jar it is expensive. when i can get a sweet potato for about $2 a bag and that makes quite a few servings. so far we have tried bananas, vanilla yogurt, sweet potatoes, squash, blueberries, peas, plums, beets, carrots, and spinach. the only one she did not like was peas, and i think that might be as they were frozen and i think they might be more bitter. blueberries are not a favorite but she will eat them. now we make big batches then freeze in ice cubes then get out 2-3 cubes for breakfast and lunch and 4-5 cubes for dinner. we normally do 2 different foods and mix and match so never having the same combo.
