Just searched back for this post. I need to get more creative with Pens, so thanks for the ideas. Our 22 pounder is getting tired of plain old carrots.

While salt is an important ingredient of a balanced diet, too much of salt consumed regularily leads to a lot of health complications. Salt can be minimized in our diet by various ways and at the same time keeping the taste of the food delicious.

[...] A child’s first year of life is a whirlwind. Some days, if you watch close enough, I swear you could see them grow right before your eyes. Mini Whipped’s palate has evolved as fast as her motor skills. It has kept this cook on her toes! By 5 months, we were feeding her rice cereal. A few months later, I started making her homemade baby food and freezing it in ice cube trays. (Find first set of baby food tips here.) Now, at 1 year of age, she will eat just about anything. Still, I have found that having readymade meals in the freezer makes things easy when our schedules are taxing. [...]

I am childless and yes read through (thank you for the tips) but um…. leftover wine? Really?? Really?

I’ll definitely pass this on to my parent-friends.

Though I don’t have any children yet, I am so encouraged by your post! I hope I am brave enough (and have the time) to do this for my child! And I hope I too don’t have a picky eater…someday…when I actually have a child that is. ; )

Oh, how I miss those days! I just thought of the perfect gadget I wish I had known about when I was in your shoes. Seen recently in my Wiliams-Sonoma catalog—it’s an all-in-one steamer/processor/warmer/defroster for making baby food at home. True, you can do all these things with stuff you already have, but 1 gadget makes it so handy. Plus it’s cute & small, not taking up much counter space.

In case you haven’t seen it, it’s called a Beaba Babycook. I’ve seen them online at Williams-Sonoma and Amazon. Just thought I’d pass on the 411…

You go, Mom! I loved making my babies’ food back in the early 90’s. (Though then in New Jersey where we lived I had to make special outings to find organic fruits and veggies to use.) So cheap, so unwasteful, so connected to what we were eating. I asked a local day care center for used baby food jars, and was given about 2 dozen. In addition to the ice cube thing, I’d put food in these to freeze (after a run in the d/w to sterilize). They were easy to grab on the way out of the house, to warm and serve at a friend’s or cafe or wherevere I was going. And, to back up Dana at #1, my 15 year old is over 6′3″, so no growth was stunted…
