First Foods

Now that Fallon is coming on to her 6 months or 1/2 year birthday. We decided to go ahead and start her on some solid foods. I didn't start her on rice cereal but have slaved over a hot stove and steamed some apples to make applesauce. I steamed the apples until the were soft, then I put them in a food processor to blend them and mixed some of the water from the steam bath into the apple mixture to thin the sauce out some. Then I filled a couple ice cube trays and froze the sauce into 1 ounce ice cubes. It makes it very easy to take a cube out of the freezer and pop it into the microwave for 45 seconds and I have baby food. I mix a little bit of the rice cereal in with it sometimes too.

I believe in making baby food for her because of the allergies that she might possibly have. Well the apples were the green apples, granny smith I believe so the applesauce came out a little tart. Fallon seems to enjoy it after her first tasting of the apples. Hopefully she'll take after her pappaw and enjoy apples as much as he does.
