So when people asked me if I was going to make Gavin's baby food when he started eating solids, I said no. I really did not put much thought in to it. Well, I really don't know what I was thinking. Did you know that the first year of a babies life is the time that their tissues and cells are at its most delicate and most important time? Crazy, right? It obviously makes sense to me. They are growing like crazy! Their bodies, their minds, and the way they "think" about food and it's association. They need good nutrients. They need good food, REAL food. Why wouldn't I make his baby food? I feel as a mother, I want only the best for my little man!
It makes me SO happy to make it for him, to feed it to him, and to know that I am taking great care of what he puts in his mouth. Besides, before we know it, he will be sneaking in all this processed and crappy food
at his friends houses and wherever else... I want to do what I can, for as long as I actually can. With that said, I posted some pics of a few things. His favorite food is sweet potato! I don't blame him :)
Below is squash and sweet potato. Just cut in half, put face down on 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Sprinkle some water before laying them face down to give it a caramelized taste. Yum!
