I'm trying to get on the ball and make baby food for my little guy, but there have been many road blocks along the way. The first issue is selection, since I'm a wannabe crunchy mom and I want to do organic as much as possible. Meijer claims to be rolling out a line of organics sometime soon, which is great since we do most of our shopping there. Maybe I'll start going to the Common Ground Coop once it has its grand opening at the Lincoln Square Mall in Urbana this summer. I've seen signs up all around town about it, so I'm getting excited!
As for making the food, it's been a little hit or miss. The first time I tried, I made a lovely puree of organic baby carrots. Well, I guess it was too chunky, because it was decidedly rejected. Then I made some yummy organic pears, which the baby loved, but since it was so runny I spilled half of it out of the food processor. Those little guys were $1.99 a pound!
I've been doing better lately with apples, purees of frozen peas and carrots from the organic section of Jerry's IGA, and even a full meal of sweet potatoes, apple, chicken and a hint of onion. So now I'm feeling pretty good about our hints of organic in daily life, though the hubby and I still have plenty of aspartame and high fructose corn syrup in our diets. Ah well, one step at a time.

My wife used the Super Baby Food book (see their website), and it was really good. Lots of recipes and lots of information. You can get it from that site, or from Amazon (and probably plenty of other places).
