Just call me Martha Stewart...

One of my friends, Melinda, is really Miss Suzie Homemaker and makes all of her little boy's baby food. In my head, I saw this as a difficult feat, as something to be slaved over for hours. Then someone I work with mentioned that her mother had made some baby food for her nephew, and it was super easy. So I decided to make some yesterday.

I have created a monster.

I had some zucchini in the fridge that either needed to be cooked or tossed in a few days, and I knew we had plans for dinner the rest of the week, so I decided to make Hadley some baby food. I have microwave steam bags, so I steamed the zuc until it was almost mush, pureed it and then portioned it out. So easy, and so cheap! The $2 spent on the zucchini made 10 portions of baby food, which is way better than 50 cents a jar and there aren't any preservatives or additives!

I have searched the house today looking for something else I can make. Do you think Hadley would enjoy some steamed hot dogs with cookies? Cause that's about all we have in the house! :)
