May 10th, 2005 - Baby food

Since I was talking about homemade ice cream, Karne wondered if I made baby food for Maggie. The answer is….

NO.

But that’s only because she hasn’t started eating it yet. LOL We plan to start in about 2.5 weeks, when she’s 6 months and I’m home for the weekend. At that time, yes, I’ll be making it. I have a great book, Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron (link to Amazon, where I bought it, too). It even has a recipe for rhubarb without sugar! I’m planning on making oatmeal first, then she’ll get bananas, then the remaining frozen pumpkin from last fall. She’s be eating whatever we get from the garden right along with me this summer and throughout the fall/winter of course. I plan to buy only a couple jars of baby food to put in the diaper bag and the emergency tornado kit.

I’m even considering that she might get ice cream or sherbet before she’s 2. Yes, they still have a good deal of sugar in them, but that’s the only really “bad” ingredient. (I don’t count the cream because she’s supposed to get some fat and she won’t be getting much anywhere else!) Well, that’s only if Eric lets her have some–he loves what I’ve made so much (vanilla i.c. and orange sherbet) that it’s gone in two days!
