Although we are not giving her store bought cereals as meals, I have some of those too. I've decided to use both, homemade and store bought, at the same time. Here are some of the mixes, concoctions and recipes I've came up with and the results:
Strawberry+Banana Yogurt- A tried and true flavor combination made of simply mixing 4oz of plain yogurt and a 4oz jar of strawberry+banana baby food.
I divided it into a regular ice cube tray and froze to put in her feeder (which she liked), but will be defrosting some to spoon feed her as well another day.
So, I blended the 4oz jar of food together with one avocado and put it in the freezer. I scraped the side of the Baby Bullet and spoon fed Rosie, just to see how she responded. She obviously loved it.
Zucchini with Apple+Blueberry- I blended 1 pealed and steamed zucchini with 8oz (2 jars) apple+blueberry baby food with a tiny amount of cinnamon (little less than 1/8 of a teaspoon). I tasted it; tasted like applesauce. She has had everything but the cinnamon before. That or the warmth.. or the fact she'd just crapped her pants.. wasn't sitting well with her.
Banana with Pear- We get bananas for $1 a pound here. I had already had more than my fill and had 3 left, starting to get spotty. Rosie doesn't like fresh banana, but gladly eats it frozen, so I think the texture is the problem. Maybe pureed will be better? To up those chances, I included her favorite fruit baby food- pears. Blending 3 peeled bananas with 2 jars of pear baby food yielded about 24oz... so, I hope she likes it.
I have so many ideas for different purees, teething biscuits, puffs and other baby noms noms. I'll edit this list as I try new things!
