Easy Homemade Baby Food

My friend just had a baby (congratulations, Jenny!) and I sent her my three favorite baby food recipes. I thought I would share them here, too! Of course, I recommend using organic ingredients to make everything even better for your baby!

1. Smashed peas
Step 1: Take a bag of frozen peas out of the freezer
Step 2: Measure out about 1 cup into a microwaveable bowl
Step 3: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook until defrosted
Step 4: Place the defrosted peas in your blender, add a little bit of water, and blend
Step 5: Feed the peas to your baby; store the extra in the refrigerator or freeze for later

2. Extra Special Cereal
Step 1: Following the directions on the box, make about 1 cup of Cream of Wheat
Step 2: Take a 16 oz tub of sour cream or plain yogurt out of the refrigerator
Step 3: Take 2 4 oz containers of applesauce out of the pantry
Step 4: Mix everything together and feed it to your baby; store the extra in the refrigerator or freeze for later

3. Yummy Yams
Step 1: Clean one yam or sweet potato thoroughly and put it in the microwave to cook
Step 2: Once fully cooked, smash the yam with a fork or put it in the blender
Step 3: Feed the yam to your baby; store the extra in the refrigerator or freeze for later
