Frugal Village: homemade baby food tips
Sara Noel’s Frugal Village column on Sunday included tips from both a reader and Sara on making homemade baby food. Here is the tip from the reader:
I pureed a bag of peas, green beans, potatoes and chicken. All of these were separate. I took my muffin tins and covered them with piece of plastic wrap twice as large, and filled each spot with the food. Then I covered them with another piece of wrap. I did four separate muffin tins and stacked them up, making sure there was plastic wrap between everything. I left them in the freezer for a day. This morning. I pull all the frozen separate foods and put them in a freezer bag and labeled them. I tested them, and it takes 45 seconds to thaw in a microwave. I can also put them in a carrier, and they will thaw before lunch. So now I have enough for at least two weeks. — Louise, Georgia

I made all my own baby food for both my children using ice cube trays (and transferring them to freezer bags once frozen). When you find Kroger frozen veggies on sale for $1.00, you can’t beat the price of any jarred food and it doesn’t take that long to prepare.

That is a good tip … those $1 frozen veggie sales happen often enough to make it worth the trouble.
