Ice Cube Trays... Everywhere!

So today I decided to jump in and make a whole tone of the baby food purees.  While I've found my magic bullet makes it insanely easy to fast puree some food for our little girl, I figured anything that will save me some time, especially at night would be a good thing.  I looked up a bunch of baby foods, and here is what I ended up doing.  I apologize for the lack of measurements, I tend to eyeball things in the kitchen.

Carrot: Roasted with Olive Oil - 400 for 40-50 minutes.  Pureed with Chicken stock.
Parsnip: Roasted with Olive Oil - 400 for 30-40 minutes.  Pureed with a little bit of Chicken stock.
Broccoli: Roasted with Olive Oil - 400 for 30-40 minutes.  Pureed with Chicken stock.
Cauliflower: Roasted with Olive Oil - 400 for 40-50 minutes.  Pureed with a little bit of Chicken stock.
Eggplant: Grilled as one inch slices with Olive Oil, 10 minutes per side. Pureed with a little bit of Chicken stock.
Zucchini: Grilled as one inch sticks with Olive Oil, 10 minutes per side. Pureed with a little bit of Chicken stock.
Peaches: Puree straight! Dont add water (I added a little, and they came out too thin!)

I was mostly making thick/chunky purees since our daughter is already eating soft whole foods.

I plopped each into ice cube trays since I hear those are good 1oz servings, and froze them for 24 hours, then transferred them to ziplock baggies and returned to the freezer.

Sorry no photos just yet... might take some photos of the cubes, but didnt photo the process...

  1. I witnessed a lot of this process, and helped a little... I kinda wanted to swipe some of the roasted veggies myself! Auntie Jody
