Fruits of our Labor

Ever since becoming gluten free my awareness of what I eat has increased immensely. I want Rachel to have a healthy balanced diet with limited processed food, so it only made sense that I would make her baby food. Plus those cute little baby food jars are a little pricey and we are a single income family. I was pleasantly surprised how easy and affordable making baby food is. Yesterday Rachel and I made pears.

Step 1: Wash, peel, and chop the pears


Step 2: Steam for 4-5 minutes


Step 3: Place the pears in the food mill and puree. With a tiny food mill this step is a little time consuming.

Step 4: Divide into icecube trays and freeze for later consumption. I freeze all her baby food without adding any extra liquid. I add the liquid when I defrost it because sometimes the consistency of the purees changes after freezing.


Step 5 Enjoy!
