Baby Food: Roasted Sweet Potato & Quinoa Puree

The adventures of baby food begin...

Peel and cube a large sweet potato into ~1/2 inch chunks.  Toss

with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and slow roast in a 350 degree heated

oven for 40-45 minutes.

Roasted sweet potato (a large sweet potato yielded 1 1/2 cups

roasted sweet potato) and 1 cup of prepared quinoa (cooked

according to package directions).

Two of my favorites, how bad can this be?  

 Pop in a food processor or blender.  I ended up adding 1 1/2 cups

of water, for the perfect puree.  Add the water in 1/2 cup increments

for the perfect consistency for your baby.

I bought 2 sets of lidded BPA-free trays (4 trays total) with my first, 

and just pulled them out of storage, as I begin baby food making 

for my newest (and final) little.

 One large sweet potato, 1 cup of prepared quinoa and 1 1/2 cups

of water yielded 21 serving portions.  I pop the trays in the freezer, and

one day later pop the portions out of the containers (running the bottoms 

of the covered trays under hot water, if they need a bit of loosening), 

and store in a freezer bag or covered container in the freezer 

(making certain to label and date).

I plan ahead for the next day, and pull out the portions I will need, 

to allow them to thaw in the refrigerator. 

 Benny says, 'get in my belly'...

Benny approved!  He was also eating a bit of pureed oatmeal with 

cinnamon and bananas that I portioned out and froze the other night,

so that explains the crazy mess of a bib!
