Stone Chic Sunday Obsessions - Baby Food Making

I'm obsessed with making baby food. I think there is such a difference between what I make and store bought food. Taste, color, etc. I've tried baby food from jars and my own for reference.

Today Grant, Jake, and I went to the local farmers market to get organic produce. I love going. Good prices, good quality, local growers, and good prepared food to eat while you are there.

I make the food every Sunday. Grant is home Sunday so he can play with Jake while I create in the kitchen. It starts out like a war zone. I get it everywhere. Today for example, I successfully got it in my eye. No lie. Peas in the eye.

So, today I made the following from the below:
Just a few of my purchases.
1. Trio of root vegetables: Sweet potato, carrots, and parsnip.

2. Peas: Just organic (frozen peas)



 Fruit mix of choice: Papaya and banana.
It tastes like a smoothy, and so easy to make! 
Finished product. All in containers I bought on Amazon.
Next I'm going to make blueberries and bananas, apple sauce, and something with my butternut squash. I will post pictures from my next creation.

I have red potatoes, leeks, and sweet potatoes in the oven. I drizzled it with olive oil and fresh rosemary and thyme. I also put chicken in the oven with olive oil and the same herbs. My house smells amazing... and it's really healthy. 

I have to get this body ready for summer. :)

Happy cooking!

Baby food

Baby food seems to be a very interesting topic when I bring it up to other mommies. When did you start feeding your baby food? What kind of food did you first introduce to your baby? How much did you feed them, etc? The next debate... Do you make baby food or do you buy baby food?

I feel like there is so much to know and do when it comes to this topic. So, I've done a little research. The pros out way the cons in making your own baby food (time permitting). I came across a website I really liked and it was very informative. Wholesome baby food - reasons to make your own baby food.

My next question would be... which processor do you choose? A regular good ol processor or a baby specific?
Baby Brezza
Beaba Babycook
Cuisinart

What are your thoughts on that? I'm pretty much sold on the Beaba Babycook... but, should I just get a regular processor? Oh the options!
