I have three kids: a 2 year old, and 6 month old twins. As a result, I am not in the habit of creating extra work for myself. So, when a couple of months ago, a close friend asked me if I was going to cook food for my babies, I thought she was nuts!
Well, the joke is on me.
Several months after my friend approached me, I find myself routinely cooking food for my babies. I'm loving every minute of it and it's easy!
I don't know what got over me but when my babies were about four months old, I decided that I wanted to be in charge of what they ate. No pesticides, no preservatives, fresh produce only, no nasty meats in jars, and no jars cluttering up my cabinets!
Not to mention that in the long run, I figured that cooking for two had to be cheaper than buying for two!
Next the question was "How?". I asked several people how to make your own baby food, and they all had the same response: "It's simple, but time consuming. You have to cook the vegetables, fruit, protein, pasta, etc. and then puree it." Well, that seemed like way too many dishes to me, aka, extra work! So, I did a little more digging, and I found the Beaba Babycook.
The Babycook does it all. It is a steamer, blender, warmer, and defroster all in one. First, I use it to steam fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and fish in less than 15 minutes -- which preserves all the vitamins and flavors. Then, I puree or blend the food to get it to the consistency I want, and voila, I'm finished! That's all there is to it. It's really that easy, and into the freezer tray it goes.
My babies love their food, I'm happier knowing that they are eating tasty and healthy meals, there is no clutter in my cabinets, and my husband loves how much money we're saving! But most importantly, there's only one appliance to clean!
