I made her baby food from scratch and added little flourishes- like pureed spinach with goats milk yogourt, and pureed eggplant with onion and garlic.

But I look at the portions and how 10 for 7 dollars is a “good deal” but 7 dollars was enough for me to make over 20 portions. I always froze them and made enough for the week. The times I did get jarred was from the co-op to check if Maerin had food allergies. I saved the jars but when I went places, I took a cube of the frozen food and popped it in the jar. It would usually defrost less than an hour.

The thing about organic and going green is that it’s not just about buying these things, it’s about leaving less of an imprint and less waste.

It would take me an hour or less to make her food for the entire week.

Thanks for stopping by, Lindsey! Wow! Your baby food recipes sound delicious. I agree that making food is the best way to go, but for some Moms (yours truly included), just can’t get it together to do that. There’s enough to do with a baby that just one more thing can seem like too much. I bought the baby food cubes and the “Super Baby Food” book and planned to make the cubes, but rarely did it. The good news is that for Moms like me there is another option now that is the next best thing to home made – frozen organic baby food. I met a woman through this blog who started her own company – Mom Made Foods – making frozen organic baby food. See the interview with her under “most popular posts.” And the amazing thing about the blogosphere? Now I’m working for her as a marketing consultant! — Lynn

Bread is my downfall toooooooooo I love it! Specially dipping it in olive oil and garlic or cinnamon butter YUMMMMMMMMMMMM oh my word I need to stop lol Well, since starting my eating regiment 5 weeks ago I guess it is now, I haven’t cheated but this program does allow me to have bread or treats during my dinner hour so i am definitely not deprived.

Thanks for stopping by my site. Not sure if its that encouraging now that I realize what the flip side of my blog title means LOL
