Baby Food Carrots

My baby is six months old and eating carrots. C-A-R-R-O-T-S, yayyyy carrots! I'm a happy mama. Happy (half) birthday, Benny Bear!


Baby Food Carrots
Chop approx. one pound cleaned and peeled carrots. Boil in a saucepan with a little bit of water until softened. Puree carrots and cooking water together in food processor. Pour puree into muffin tins to make individual servings and freeze. When frozen, pop out of muffin tin (may need to run warm water on back of pan to loosen) and store in freezer-safe container. Will keep for up to three months.

    I am so behind with your blog (and lots of others). I am still alive, and happy for the Carrot Phase in your family :)

    I made all of my kids' baby food too- it's kind of fun! I like the idea of muffin tins, esp when they are older and eat more. Ice cube trays work, too.

    Sara, thanks for reading, and no worries, I go MIA from blogging now and then too. And Lyz, I'm totally digging the baby food thing - who knew it was so easy? Gerber makes it seem like there's a big mystery behind it.
