If you haven't already, make sure to check out the first part to this series that I started. If my first blog about the homemade baby food I make I showed how I freeze and store the purees. Ill add a link to make it easier to find!

When introducing baby food make sure to only introduce one food at a time. I allow 3 days of introducing the same food before I introduce another. In those 3 days I'm checking to make sure my baby does not have a reaction. Making sure there's no rash, constipation, diarrhea, or any other signs of a food reaction.

Again I am not pediatrician, you should always consult with them first. I am just sharing my recipes and my personal experiences! Enjoy!

Now that we got all of that good stuff out of the way here are the 4 recipes I am going to share with you today!
  • Peaches
  • Blueberries
  • Chicken & Apples
  • Carrots
Peaches
Directions:
  • Make sure your peaches are ripe. If you are using frozen peaches you are going to want to soften them. You can place in a microwavable bowl, add some water & microwave until tender. You can also do the same process over the stove. For this I had 2 really ripe peaches
  • Take off all the skin & make sure to take the seed out of the middle
  • Cut into pieces and place in your blender. Mine were extremely juicy so I did not need to add any water. If puree is too thick add 1 TBSP of water to thin it out.
  • Blender until smooth
  • Pour into ice cube trays
Blueberries
Directions:
  • Rinse your blueberries
  • Place in a saucepan with some water place them on the stove
  • Let them get really soft
  • Place in blender & blend until smooth
  • Pour into ice cube trays & allow to cool on the counter
Chicken & Apples-( This sounds gross, but it was my son's favorite)
Directions:
  • I use a rotiserrie Chicken from the store. You can always use chicken breasts, cook them in the crock pot & then shred.
  • Your going to want about 1 cup of chicken and 1 apple
  • For your apple your going to want to take the skin off and decore it. Place it in a saucepan with a little bit of water and cook on the stove until tender
  • Place both cooked chicken & apple in the blender. You may need to add a little bit of water. This puree can be a little thick. Blender until smooth
  • Pour into ice cube trays & allow to cool on the counter
Carrots
Directions:
  • I used frozen carrots. ( It's what I had on hand at the time)
  • Boiled my carrots on the stove until tender.
  • Placed into the blender with a pad of butter. maybe 1 TBSP. blender until smooth
  • Pour into ice cube trays & allow to cool on the counter

Once all your puree's are cooled in their ice cube trays on the counter, label & cover them with plastic wrap. Place ice cube trays in the freezer & allow food to freeze overnight.

The following day you can label baggies and dump the cube into baggies. These cube's are good in the freezer for 3- 6 months. 3 months is more desirable. 

Thawing: The night before I will get what foods I want to feed my baby the next day. I will place them in separate kiddie bowls and cover with plastic wrap and place them in the fridge to defrost. Then when I am ready to feed my baby I will warm the puree for 7 seconds in the microwave. I then stir the puree and check for hot spots. 

If you are using rice cereal try mixing one of the fruit puree's in with the rice cereal!



* You can also put these recipes into squeeze pouches*
