Homemade Baby Food

After buying plenty of Gerber baby foods, I had a lot of plastic containers on hand for making my own baby food.  So far I think he likes #1 and #5 best.

Ingredients-

Leftover mashed potatoes
Leftover steamed carrots
Little bit of frozen spinach (I microwaved my frozen spinach about 30 second...long enough to chip off a 2 TBSP chunk)
1 Head of Cauliflower, Steamed in the microwave
1 can of peas, no salt added
1 can of corn, no salt added
1 butternut squash, cooked in the oven at 325 for 1 1/2 hours in a dish with a glass lid and a little water in the bottom
Leftover spaghetti sauce
Spaghetti Squash, cooked same way as butternut squash

Optional-
 Zucchini (add to recipe2 or recipe 3), removing seeds
Crookneck squash (add to recipes 2, 3 or 4), removing seeds
Broccoli  (in place of spinach in recipe 4)

Makes-
These ingredients make 15 containers of 3.5 oz each.  Just blend the ingredients in a 1/2 c. food processor, using the excess juices from the vegetables until it is smooth (I always used my corn and cauliflower juices and never my peas juices).

3.5 oz of butternut squash (I filled a container worth then dumped into the food processor)

A few chunks of carrot

About 2 oz of butternut squash
