Baby Food

I finally started making some baby food for Henry. I had the very best intentions of making ALL of his food. This was while I was pregnant. So much changes when you actually have the baby lol. I decided I would make things for him that weren't readily available as prepackaged.
So I made him some roasted red peppers with goat cheese, and zucchini. I also froze some canned pumpkin and added some cinnamon to it. I pureed some black beans and froze into cubes as well. Protein is so good for babies! He doesn't get very much meat yet, so I figured beans would be a nice alternative.

 

Peppers are part of the "dirty dozen" Try to always buy organic. I forgot so I did the trusty vinegar and water soak.

 

I roasted these peppers at 400 for 30 minutes. Looking back it would have been easier to roast bigger pieces because the skin chars while roasting and needs to be peeled. Hence...the roasted red pepper.

I pureed with a few good size chunks of goat cheese and Henry gobbled it up!

 

I roasted the zucchini at the same temperature and purred. It comes out the PERFECT consistency. I didn't need to add any water. Zucchini's are naturally watery veggies, so that's probably why.

 

Once pureed, I just spread the mixture into these silicone ice cube trays. I froze them overnight and then put each food into a labeled zip lock bag.
