Stacey's Mom (every time I say that I start singing the song!) sent me a fabulous gift for Ali. She sent me a Baby Bullet, made by the makers of the Magic Bullet, for making my own baby food. Despite doubts from friends, we were determined to give making baby food for Ali a shot. Needless to say, I was thrilled to receive the Baby Bullet to make this task even easier. Honestly, I didn't think making baby food would really be that difficult. Todd and I typically make meals on the weekends to freeze and eat during the week, so I figured that I would just add meals for Ali to the mix. Well, let me tell you... this Baby Bullet surpassed my expectations! Tonight I decided to make Ali's first baby food - a sweet potato. I boiled the sweet potato while we were eating dinner. Then after dinner, I put the cooked sweet potato in the Baby Bullet with one cup of water as instructed in the cookbook. The directions said to puree for 10 seconds. No kidding... 10 seconds later and we had baby food. I really thought it would take few minutes to get all the lumps out, but it was literally 10 seconds. I was very pleasantly surprised!
The Baby Bullet comes with a the puree/pulse base, a big batch bowl, two small batch bowls, six single serving containers with date dials so you know when the food was made, a freezer tray, an insulated food tote and a cookbook!
After 10 seconds, we had baby food!
One sweet potato made 9 servings. I love these single serving containers with the date dial (which you can't see since it's on the back of the lid.)
I'm actually looking forward to making more baby food for Ali. My friend Katy let me borrow her baby food cookbook, and it has some really cool recipes in it like Potato, Leek & Pea Puree. Todd is giving me a hard time because he says Ali is going to eat better than we do!

Have you heard of the book "The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet"? Those I know who make their baby food swear by it. I've never taken on the task myself, but more power to you!
