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 :)

his recipe is written so that you may use any amount of apples you wish! We recommend Fuji, Gala, Braeburn or Macintosh
1. Peel, core and cut apple into slices/chunks
2. Place slices or chunks into a pan with just enough water to slightly cover apples
3. Boil/steam until tender; be sure to check on the water level and stir, That's It! Easy Peasy!
Apples may be mashed with a potato masher to achieve a smooth applesauce consistency. If your masher will not achieve a puree type of consistency, then follow steps 5 - 7
5. Reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the apples
6. Place into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing.
7. Add the reserved water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin puree
8. Add cereal (if desired) to thicken up the
Ask your pediatrician about adding some cinnamon for new tastes!
If your baby is constipated, you might also use the juice that is leftover from the cooking to mix into cereals, or with water in a bottle or sippy cup.
