I've been having strange thoughts. I am really considering making my own baby food for Devon! I have a really nice Food Processor that I LOVE, and I started growing my own vegetables and whatnot (although they are not ready yet). Anyway, I don't know a single thing about it, and I don't really know anyone who does it. My mother and father in law think it's such a waste of time because "Organic baby food is only a couple bucks a jar"! First of all, we are NOT an organic family! Second, a couple bucks a jar times two jars per feeding times three meals a day... you do the math! That's more than I spend on myself in one day for food!

DH thinks it's a good idea and we started washing and saving the old jars and containers from his Gerber baby food for storage. I'm concerned that it really is time consuming, and I'm sure it will cost more than I'm expecting. Even if it costs the same as buying the jars, I think it would be fun. I feel like it would be a bonding thing (kind of like breastfeeding?? only different! LoL!)

Does anyone make their own baby food? What do I need to consider? How do I do it? Do you know of any websites out there that are helpful? Thanks!!
