My third baby girl Gigi was just starting on baby food a few months back, when my kid sister Caley came to visit with her own baby girl. She watched me pulling out the over-priced little jars of baby food and kindly told me that I needed to wise up and make my own.
What? Make my own?
I vaguely recalled attempting it once before, yearrrrs ago. I had saved a couple thousand of the little glass jars and for some reason thought that I needed to find a way to refill them.
Disastrous results ensued. It was tedious, slow, and extremely messy trying to spoon food back into the little jars. Not fun. Also all those jars took up way too much freezer space and were annoying to defrost.
I never tried it again. The convenience of the store-bought baby food prevailed. Big time.
Well my wise sister shared with me a much smarter approach to homemade baby food, and I love it so much that I now deeply regret not doing so with my two elder daughters.
