The only downside is, that it's a bitch to clean.<br />For breakfast, my daughter usually has banana and avocado, mixed with a dollop of whole milk yoghurt, chuck it in the bullet and it comes out smooth and creamy. It also works well with mango and I add some baby cereal to thicken it up.<br />My daughter also hates all things savory, so I tend to use a pouch (beef stew, turkey casserole, etc) and mix it with some cooked red lentils or Quinoa. That way if she out right refuses to eat it, I haven't just wasted over an hour preparing and cooking. If I do mainly a fruit and veg meal, I'll add some amaranth grain or cereal to pad it out.<br />I try and experiment with different flavors and a lot of it is trial and error. I find chicken and rice do not puree well as it comes out like a thick, gluey paste, ditto pasta. There's a few reasonable sites out there you can use for inspiration (wholsomebabyfood.momtastic.com). <br /><br />S<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574605296259081338.post-44413388178050146002013-02-05T11:35:01.728-08:002013-02-05T11:35:01.728-08:00Love your ideas.

Well that is if I am able to have a baby.

Then we had convenient sized chunks to microwave whenever it was feeding time. Worked great! :) Good luck!<br /><br />Okay, when I say 'we' ... it might be a wee bit more accurate if I say that my wife came up with the ice cube tray idea.Andrew McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210761023973607515noreply@blogger.com
