When I was a new mom, I relied on jarred food to feed my baby. By the time my second baby was born, I had decided to make my own baby food as it was a cheaper and healthier alternative to jarred baby food. My babies preferred my homemade baby food over the jar variety anyway and I look forward to making my own baby food for my current baby, Patience, when she’s ready. Over time, I learned to be creative and come up with tasty food combinations that they would eat up in no time. I’m sure there’s many you that have made your own homemade baby food and concocted tasty recipes that your baby happily devoured and Magic Bullet would love for you to share them in their Magic Bullet – Bullet Express “Baby Food” Recipes Contest!

I like mixing bananas, strawberries, and vanilla yogurt.
Tapioca pudding zhusshed together along with peaches in fruit juice was always a big winner.

This may sound kinda different but I would puree Banana’s, Boneless/Skinless Chicken breast, White Rice and Apple juice together for my sons and they loved it.
I used to make baby food for my sons when they were babies. I would keep it simple….I would cook carrots and food process them to mush – same with peas. I’d also cook ground beef or chicken and grind them too. Then I’d mix them together and it would be a perfect meal with no preservatives!
Beets – Basic Purée
1 bunch of fresh beets, golden beets have a milder flavor
1. Wash then peel the beets (be sure to cut off the tops.) and then cut the beets into small chunks
2. Place chunks into a steamer pan with just enough water visible through the steamer basket. You may also boil them in a scant amount of water if you prefer.
3. Steam until tender
4. Do not reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the beets as Nitrates may seep into the cooking water
5. Place into Magic Bullet begin pureeing.
6. Add water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency.
You can cook the greens and serve like spinage. Also add some apple or pear to sweeten the beets

Puree cooked pumpkin squash combined with cooked apple. My babies loved it and I would sneak bites too..;)
I don’t really make any baby foods. I will puree different fruits for my daughter, but I don’t do anything special to them.
Tiny Tummy Thanksgiving:
Even little ones love to celebrate thanksgiving. Unfortunately they’re often too small to dig into the food on the grown-ups table. This baby food recipe blends the flavors of Thanksgiving in an easy to swallow style.
1. Thoroughly wash a sweet potato. Puncture the potato with a fork, wrap, and microwave 5-6 minutes. Potato should be tender. The sweet potato can also be baked if you so choose.
2. Peel the potato. (The skin should pull away from the sweet potato easily.)
3. Cute the sweet potato into cubes.
4. Place diced sweet potato into Magic Bullet Express.
4. Add 2-4 ounces of apple juice (or your child’s favorite – pear also works well).
5. Puree the sweet potato in your Magic Bullet Express until it is the consistency of smooth applesauce.
6. Mix in some oatmeal cereal or pasteurized vanilla yogurt until desired consistency is reached.
Dish it out and enjoy!
Makes 2-3 Servings.

Take 1/2 banana, 1/2 apple and puree until smooth. Add to baby oatmeal or feed your baby the mixture alone as his/her fruit. You can add a baby carrot to the apple and banana mixture to puree but, please make sure that your child doesn’t have any allergies to carrots.
Thank you for the giveaway!

Strawberries and plain yogurt
frozen strawberries, blueberries, yogurt juice and ice, it is a yummy smoothie.
Eggplant & Pumpkin Mash
-1 small eggplant
-2 cups pumpkin, peeled and chopped
-Chicken broth
Bake the eggplant in a 350 degree oven until softened, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then remove the peel and seeds.
Boil pumpkin until soft. Combine the pumpkin with the cooked eggplant and chicken broth until you get the consistency of baby food.
My kids loved this combination of apple and avocado:
Apple ‘Cado (4)6-8months+ babies age 4 to 6 months old
Ingredients:
1/2 of a peeled and pitted avocado
1/4 cup applesauce
Directions:
Mash the avocado. Mix with applesauce and serve.
Yumm!
Pears babies age 4 to 6 months old
Vitamins: A, C, Folate
Minerals: Potassium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Calcium
Ingredients:
2 ripe pears (Bartlett, Red or Comice)
Directions: Steam gently until tender if baby is between 4-6 months old otherwise peel & mash – removing the seed portion
Peel and cut into chunks so as to avoid the little seed portion.
Or,
Cut the pears in half (no need to peel unless your little one has issues with digestion) and cut out the seed/core portion then dice the pear halves.
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a shallow pot with a steamer basket insert.
Add the pears to the steamer basket in the pot and then steam until soft and tender.
You may also add the pear dices to wee bit of boiling water and steam them this way if you do not have a steamer basket. Using a scant amount of water ensures that you are not boiling them.
Peel and cut into chunks so as to avoid the little seed portion.
Place in a blender/food processor and puree until smooth. You may be able to just use a fork too.
Use the leftover cooking water if needed but Pears tend to be very runny and watery without adding liquid. Add some baby cereal to thicken if needed.
Teething Biscuts
2 Tbs Shortening 1/2 C. sugar 1 egg 1tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 tsp water 1 1/2 C. baby cereal Heat oven to 300 degrees. Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and water. Mix until well blended. Gradually stir in cereal. Knead until smooth. Pat into rectangle. Cut into 12 1″ bars, smooth edges so they will not be sharp. Place on ungreased sheet. Bake 20-30 min or until dry. Store in uncovered container overnight.
I take mature organic carrots and trim ends and wash well. Microwave and then puree them!

I used to mix (and puree) melon, yogurt, and fruit juice together for my son.
Years ago I made a Strawberries and Strawberries yogurt smoothie.
I used to blend together cooked carrots, slightly cooked raisins, and a bit of apple sauce. She loved it.
It would be wonderful to win the Magic Bullet. I kind find so many uses for one today. Thanks for the chance.

Sweet Potato Custard
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
1/2 cup mashed banana
1 cup evaporated skim milk
2 Tbs packed brown sugar
2 beaten egg yolks
1/2 tsp salt
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Get out a bowl and add the sweet potato and banana to it. Make sure both are well mashed. Add the milk and stir until combined. Add the brown sugar, egg yolks and the salt and mix well.
Add the mixture to a 1 quart casserole dish that has been sprayed with the cooking spray.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small cup or bowl and sprinkle it over top of sweet potato mixture.
Bake at 325 for 45 minutes. Your custard is done when a knife or toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
My son always loved when I boiled apples until tender then added to a blender with crushed graham crackers. Blend until pureed and crackers soften within a few minutes for easy swallowing.
