homemade baby food purée

I make all my baby's food and he is the best eater of my 3 kids. These are some of my different blends for purées.



  • yam, broccoli




  • corn, baby milk, potato




  • green beans, acorn squash



Apple Sauce Variation

  • apples with raspberries or any berries


Tropical Blend

  • papaya, banana, strawberry



  • avocado, papaya


-Tip- I mix a little of the water from steaming while pureeing so that I get more of the nutritious juices that are left behind in the baby food.

for a little older baby:

  • meat (chicken or sausage ) with apple sauce

  • roasted veggies chopped small

roasted broccoli and cauliflower with lemon zest

My mom made this and I will never eat boring steamed broccoli again. I added cauliflower to my mom's recipe because these two veggies make a perfect match

in sheet pan roast broccoli, garlic, and cauliflower at 425 sprinkled with olive oil, salt, pepper

when roasted stir in bowl lemon juice, a little olive oil, fresh grated parm cheese, roasted pine nuts, lemon zest, and fresh basil
