Baby Food Chef

Making your own baby food can not only be fun, and less expensive, but can also be much healthier for your child than store bought food. Baby food is not only easy to make, but is fresher and more loved by babies than the stuff out of the jar. Giving your child the best chance by starting out their lives with a better diet is the duty of every parent. So to start out your career as a gourmet baby food chef, here are a few recipes to try your chops on:


Cooked Leafy Greens
For the ultimate healthy lunch or dinner, try this leafy green recipe. Everyone needs the vitamins in vegetables, but especially babies. You will need a pound of fresh greens, especially kale and collards. You can really pick whatever you want and vary it each time you make it. You need a tablespoon of water, and the tablespoons of fruit juice (again, your choice). First steam your vegetables until they are soft and well-cooked. Put everything then into a blender and puree. This makes a lot, so make sure to refrigerate the leftovers for meals in the future.

Pops for Tots 
Popsicles are the favorite of kids around the world. Here is a great, healthy recipe to get your baby hooked on fruit. You will need a cup of plain yogurt, two teaspoons of orange juice, a half cup of strawberries, a fourth cup of mashed bananas, four teaspoons of lemonade, and a popsicle mold. Mash and puree all the fruit and then add the liquid ingredients. Mix well. Then place the mixture into Popsicle molds and into the freezer they go for about thirty minutes. Put in popsicles and then let them completely freeze overnight.

Apple Nut Bake for Babies
 For this hearty meal you will need four announces of apples, two teaspoons of orange juice, an egg yolk, and a tablespoon of almonds. First you need to cook the apples in the orange juice until very soft and shapeable. Then mash this in with the egg yolk, and smashed almonds. You need to bake this in a muffin fin for about fifteen minuets.
