Baby food is very easy to make, it just takes a little bit of time. I have the Beaba Babycook, so really it doesn't take much time at all! With the Babycook, I can make a batch or two of food at a time - you can steam and puree the food in the same machine, so it's minimal prep and clean up.
With all the local meat and produce we've been getting, it's been really easy to keep up on the baby food in our house. Our son loves it, and I feel better providing him fresh fruits and vegetables that were picked at the peak of ripeness and treated with minimal pesticides. The meat comes from local Amish farmers who treat the animals humanely and use minimal antibiotics and zero hormones.
While I've made up most of my recipes on my own, some favorites come from "Top 100 Baby Purees". My son's favorites are blueberry parfait; chicken, sweet potato and apples; and anything with carrots.
Here's a batch I made this weekend (a bigger batch so I used the full-size food processor), including local broccoli, zucchini, red potatoes, and sweet peas. I freeze it in ice cube trays and defrost one at a time, so this batch will last us a few weeks.
If you haven't made your own baby food, you should try it! You'll be amazed how much better it tastes and looks than the packaged stuff. And your child will thank you for it someday, too!
