I decided it's time to start giving Ian cereal. We started on Thursday last week with rice cereal mixed with breastmilk. Yesterday he tried barley and definitely likes it better than rice. Shaun was the same. Wheat was Shaun's favourite but I can't seem to find it anymore. Maybe due to all the wheat allergies that are surfacing these days.
This afternoon I whipped up some baby food for my hungry little monster. I steamed some carrots and acorn squash and blended each with some breastmilk and then simply froze them in ice cube trays. Once they're frozen I'll transfer the cubes into a Ziploc bag; one bag for each kind. I also roasted some beets in a low 
temperature oven and blended those up with some boob juice. I figure I can't go wrong adding milk to already wholesome veggies. When I get the chance again I'll make some peas and corn and sweet potatoes. I'd like to have a variety before we move so I don't have to worry about making all that stuff only days after we move in. I'd rather be able to focus on the boxes.25 days!

Nice cubes, Michelle! I haven't tried beets. You'll have to tell me how Ian likes them. Last night I made cubes of bean chili. This made me very proud.
Ooooh, the chili sounds great! I never actually blended and froze meals like that. I'd blend up whatever we were having for dinner and throw in a cube of extra veggies or something.
Beets were Shaun's absolute hands-down favourite. He still likes beets to this day but only when roasted. They're just so darn sweet it's like a dessert! I wrap them individually in foil and roast at 200'C for about 3 hours. Then let them cool, peel, blend and freeze.
What's your chili recipe? (I sense a post in the near future from you Kate!)
