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 :)

Wash and poke holes in sweet potato with fork then wrap sweet potatoes in tin foil - do not peel for baking/microwaving.
2. Place in a 400 degree oven and bake for 30-60 minutes or until soft
3. Remove skins by slitting the sweet potato lengthwise when cooled then scoop out the "meat". Use a liquid from your preferred source to puree or thin the sweet potatoes.
Boiling/Steaming Sweet Potatoes for Baby Food:
1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into small chunks
2. Place chunks into a pan with just enough water to slightly cover potato
3. "Steam" boil until tender, be sure to check on the water level.
4. Reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the sweet potatoes if desired.
Microwave Sweet Potatoes: (we prefer to not use a microwave for cooking)
1. Wet and wrap sweet potatoes with microwave safe plastic wrap.
2. Poke holes in the wrap with a fork and microwave for 10 minutes or until done.
3. Remove skins by slitting the sweet potato lengthwise when cooled then scoop out the "meat". Use a liquid from your preferred source to puree or thin the sweet potatoes.
Place cooked sweet potatoes into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing.
Add the reserved water or other liquid as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency
