I knew that when the time came for Bailey to begin eating solid food that I was going to make all of her food. With my love of cooking (and eating!) i couldn't imagine not making food for the little booger. I knew exactly what was going into it and that it was free of preservatives or fillers....and not to mention - one bag of carrots goes a long way compared to the jars of store bought baby food that cost a buck each!
At 6 months, i got out the food processor, ice cube trays, a pot of boiling water and went to town. It's been a labor of love but I am glad I did it and Bailey has liked all of my creations, except for broccoli! She is now eating a lot more finger foods and is a lot less interested in being fed by a spoon...i see the end of my baby food making days in the near future.
This week i have been in overdrive to get enough food made to take on vacation with us next week. On the menu - apples and pears, squash and zucchini, chicken with apple and sweet potato and flounder with carrots and cheesy tomatoes. I think she eats better than we do!
We are off to Florida! I'll have pictures of Bailey's first beach trip when we return. 
I love to cook. I am always scouring magazines and the internet reading recipes and finding new ones to try. With subscriptions to 3 cooking magazines and several cooking blogs that i follow, you can image the stacks of recipes and cookbooks that i have. It's borderline obsessive!
I often clip one from a magazine, add it to the stack and never get to it. It is now my mission to work my way through the stack, one recipe at a time. If it's a good one, it stays, if it’s a dozy, it's out! Only the tasty survey and my stack must get smaller! I'll share some of keepers along the way.
Bailey had a firecracker first Fourth of July! She is fast asleep and missed all of the fireworks...maybe next year! She sure did look cute in her festive outfit, though!
