Just call me Julia. Or Rachel. Or Betty. Because I’m a famous actress, you might ask? No. Because I’m a gourmet chef.
Okay. Not really a gourmet chef. But a really fancy cook. Okay, okay. Not really even fancy at all. And not really a cook. So, I guess, just call me, Ashli.
But thanks to this cute little guy I met, I’ve got somethin’ cookin in my kitchen…
Meet Mr. Brezza. He’s adorable, right? And he looks like your standard food processor, right? HA! Notsofast. This little nugget is a steaming/blending hunka burning love and he makes homemade baby food easy peasy.
I suppose making my own food never would have been that much effort. Right after I had Barrett, my friend Lindsay talked about some sort of grinder/mill contraption she used to make most of her Johnny boy’s food. At that point, I could barely even talk in complete sentences or change out of my pajamas so the idea of doing, what I considered to be SUPERmom tasks, was not going to happen. I would leave the babyfood making to Lindsay and the other supermoms out there.
But when I was growing Grin, while playdating at my friend Kristin’s {check out her blog… mommiatrics.blogspot.com}, I was introduced to this beaut.
Her Baby Beaba was even cuter than the little prince I purchased but cost a little more kizzle. I watched as she added in her fresh veggies and then set it and forget it.
Yep. I wanna give that a whirl.
I decided that even with the cost of the machine {about $100}, 12 storage containers, 3 ice cube trays and then buying my own veggies and fruits, I could still save in comparison to buying organic baby food from the store. And so, I bought mr. Brezza and have gone to town. Clearly, if I can do this, it is not just for the supermom variety.
If you want the jist, it goes like this:
We currently have the freezer stocked with zucchini, pears, apples, squash, mango, bananas and peas. If we’re heading out on the town for din din, I will pack Ella’s Kitchen or other purchased pouches for convenience but otherwise, making Jonah’s food from “scratch” has been working out quite well.
So, good lookin’… that’s what we got cookin’ over here. What kind of foods do you love to feed your babe? Additionally, has Pinterest got you cookin’ like crazy? What are your fave foods to feed your fam?
*I am receiving absolutely nothing from the makers of Mr. Brezza or Baby Beaba. I am just a mom. Who has been there, done this.
