Welcome!
Welcome to Olsen's homemade baby food. I have been making homemade baby food for the last few months since my little Morgan has been able to eat solids. When my oldest Brekke was eating solids I bought store bought baby food and every time I went to go buy more for her i was more and more over whelmed with the price of the baby food. So when Morgan was just a couple months old i bought a baby food grinder intended on using it for homemade baby food. I really enjoy making it knowing that its a lot healthier for the baby and you get so much more for your money. Its very easy to do also. I added a lot of my homemade recipes i have made and then i did a lot of recerching to find some recipes online so everythign would be in one place. :) I hope you guys all enjoy this and if you have any questions please let me know. I have saved a ton so far by doing homemade baby food and you will too. Below you will find 1 recipe generally the last 1 i have posted and then off to the right will be the different categories everything is in :)

rep the asparagus by holding one asparagus spear with one hand in the middle of the spear and the other hand at the stem.
Bend the spear until it snaps. Toss out the lower end that snapped off. Repeat until all your asparagus is "snapped".
A few people recommend peeling asparagus - we have done this only once and found it very very time consuming and not worth the trouble! The snapping method works just fine. You may however wish to experiment with both methods!
Cooking Asparagus for baby:
Fill a large pot (large enough to accommodate a steamer basket) with about 3 inches of water - or until the water peeks through the holes of the steamer basket.
Place asparagus, "flower" side up into a steamer basket. Steam asparagus until very tender and mushy or baby food puree. Puree the asparagus when finished steaming.
Add liquid as needed to make a puree your baby will tolerate. (For adults, you want to steam it more "al dente" than you do for making baby food)
We suggest that you serve asparagus as a finger food to an older baby. Many people find that asparagus gives them a bit of gassiness and bloating.
