Yum! There is just nothing that compares to organic fresh produce! This is my stash from one of my resent shopping trips to the local health food store. I love that they now carry fresh produce and such a nice variety. They get fresh shipments in every Friday and I love seeing what new produce they have each week as it always changes. It's a fun challenge to come up with recipes that revolve around what organic produce was availably that particular week. I also order a lot of my main staples in bulk (by the case) from there which gets me a 10% discount. Some of those items are organic whole plain yogurt, organic raw milk cheese, organic pastured butter, organic coconut milk, organic chicken nuggets, organic sprouted seven grain bread & brown rice tortillas.As most of you know Jack still is without any "chewing teeth" he only just has front teeth still (with another front tooth on the way in). So I do still have to modify some of our family meals for him by pureeing it in the blender or mashing it and I also make him fresh fruit and veggie purees each week which I add to his plain whole milk yogurt or just feed him as a side dish to a meal.
I just make what was organic and available that particular week. Some weeks its sweet potato and apple, this week it was pears & butternut squash with cinnamon, in this photo we made a apple mango puree.
To make the purees I just simply peel and cut the fruit into large chunks, place them in my steamer pot and steam them with the lid on until they are tender. I immediately dump the veggie/fruits in the blender and blend. This is so fast and easy, from start to finish it takes about 15-20 minutes and afterward I can throw everything in the dishwasher. I keep the purees in the fridge in an air tight 'green' plastic container, and I never make more than one puree at a time or freeze the purees. I make them fresh and only make what we will use in the next 3 days. Its so quick and easy to make them I just think why not just make them fresh and save room in my freezer, plus no need to thaw or worry about it going bad.
Here is a 'Green' puree. Banana, avocado & kiwi!

Thank you for sharing! I made most of my baby food for Will and loved it!! I like your combinations I'll have to try it out with Macy!! I also just checked out your two books for babies and toddlers. I'll have to see if a book store here carries them that would be SO helpful for me as I am always running out of great healthy ideas that they love.
