Lola got her first taste of carrots today for lunch and according to my mom, she enjoyed them! I love this "making your own baby food" thing, especially when I realize how much $ we're saving! I purchased 3 pounds of organic carrots at $.79/lb. I peeled, sliced, steamed and pureed the carrots and froze the puree in ice cube trays. I estimated I made approximately 30 servings for a grand total of $2.37. If you've walked down a baby food aisle anytime in the recent past, you'd have noticed a lil jar of organic baby food can run around $.79/jar. So that means I saved us about $20.00. And that's just plain cool to me!
