Babyfood Peas

Babyfood is really very easy to make. Basically, you just take the food you want to serve the baby (make sure it's baby safe - no honey, maple syrup, nuts, shell fish, etc.) cook it really well and then put it in the blender with the right amount of water to make it smooth. The big benefit is in the taste - fresh veggies are way more tasty than the ones you get in the jar so babies will actually eat them!

Two Covered Ice Cube Trays

1. Cook the peas in water. You can microwave them in a glass bowl with a little water for a few minutes, or put them on the stove in a pan and cook them in water - either way works fine.

2. Put all of the peas in a blender - reserve the water to add as needed to get the right consistency.

3. Add a little of the water you used to cook the peas with - maybe a third of a cup.

4. Blend on high and add water as necessary to get the right consistency. If you add too much water and feel that the peas are too watery, add some rice cereal or some oatmeal. Its good with the peas too.

5. Once the peas are really really smooth (you don't want lumps), spoon them into the ice cube trays. Place the trays in the freezer overnight.

Voila! You have preserved babyfood peas. Store the babyfood cubes in a freezer bag and be sure to lable them! They look a lot like the greenbeans you'll be making next.

To serve, just drop three or so in a bowl and heat them in the microwave for 40 seconds or in a pan on the stove over low heat.
