Please pass the Beans!

Anna had green beans for the first time today. Yes, please! She finished off every bite. Now peas, on the other hand...not so much. We started peas over the weekend and tried for four days. Not really liking the peas. We'll try again in a few weeks. But, we're on to the beans and she's lovin' it.

Drum roll please....I homemade the green beans! Green bean puree a'la Laura. We got a food mill, which was awesome to use. A bag of frozen organic green beans, a steamer, a food mill...and you got yourself some green bean baby food.

This was the first batch of baby food I attempted so far. I couldn't find organic sweet potatoes to make myself and we didn't have the food mill yet for the peas. But she hates the peas, so who cares. Next, we'll try apples. Cannot wait to start the fruits. Her morning oatmeal is getting a little boring. She always seems a little disappointed. Just wait till I surprise her with apples.

This baby food thing is pretty fun. It was really quite satisfying to feed her baby food that I prepared myself. Not that there's anything wrong with the jars, I'm sure she'll get her fair share of the jars. But, it felt good to feed her "Mommy's Beans".
Kiss the cook!
