Homemade Baby Food
Published on Monday, December 6, 2010 - 12:31pm
I have always been a foodie.
The first dessert I made by myself was Bananas Foster; I was maybe 8. The crepes were gummy and the sauce runny, but I made it; it was delicious! Since that time I have become infinitely better and thoroughly enjoyed every minute I have spent in the kitchen. It is the place where I go to release my frustrations, to be romantic, to be creative, and to be really at peace.
When my daughter was born, my husband and I agreed that it was the best and only decision for us to home-make all her food. It is cheaper, healthier, tastes better and provides more variety for developing taste buds. It was a satisfying way to include her more in our daily lives.
Some of the most helpful and enjoyable books for making baby food can be found here at the library. Give these titles a try; you won't be disappointed.
