Homemade Baby Food Part 4 ---- Squash!

Butternut squash is the perfect baby food. It's easy to make, full of vitamins, and has a sweet, nutty taste. Not to mention, one squash makes lots of meals for your baby, so you can stock your freezer and your wallet will be happy. I can't believe I didn't make squash for Titus sooner! 

Squash for Baby:

Ingredients:
Butternut Squash 
Water

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


Step 2: Cut your squash in half and scoop out the mess in the middle.

Step 3: Place squash face down in a pan (or two!) and add a little water.

Step 4: Bake for 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 5: When cool enough to handle, cut the "meat" out of the squash into chunks and add to your food processor. Blend until smooth and pour into your containers of choice. Feed some to your baby right away, refrigerate for later and freeze what you don't need in the near future. 

One squash made about thirteen 4 oz containers.

Did you notice that my kitchen looks different than when I showed you how to make apples, avocados, carrots, sweet potatoes, and peaches for baby? That's because we've moved!!! We relocated from San Diego, CA to the Dallas, TX area. We are living in Allen, TX and loving it! Only time will tell if our little pumpkin will have a southern accent or not!

Until next time!
