In addition to being nutritious and evidence of a mother's love, homemade baby food is supposed to be cheap. Always looking for a bargain, I thought I could handle a little fruits and veggies blender action.
Surprisingly, today's foray into baby food was the most expensive part of my weekend. Let's tabulate the damage:
Organic apples, pears and sweet potatoes ---------------------- $33.51
New food mill from Kitchen Stuff Plus --------------------------- $26.25
Impulse purchases made alongside food mill ------------------$29.40
Audiobook for background entertainment ----------------------$16.26
Which brings us to a grand total of $105.42. Thank goodness I didn't get sucked into the little baby food containers that Moms To Be has declared a "must have".
For the record, BabyBear spat out most of tonight's puree. Fabulous.

Hilarious! We made all our baby food for Erin (she has an intolerance to sulfites, otherwise i would have never have done it). She ended up turning orange from all the sweet potato she ate. It was really delicious though - even we wanted it.
I stuck with PC Organic jarred stuff for Molly. The thought of making it myself did cross my mind but it never did happen. Who knows, maybe we'll skip solids all together with #2. Breast milk is just so easy and nature's perfect food right?! (kidding of course!)
