baby food question

I saw the post below about making your own food. I had planned on doing it, but wanted to wait till she was at least eating more than a few spoonfuls. I was just curious if you all are just blending the fruit and veggies alone or with a liquid? I wasn't sure if that made a difference with freezing or not. TIA!

I don't make all of our food, but I do make peaches and pears.  I bake them and then toss them in the Ninja.  I usually just blend the fruit and then decide based on how it turns out.  Sometimes I add a little of the reserved liquid, sometimes I don't.  You can always add BM or formula when you serve it to thin it out, too.  If you don't know about this site already it is amazing:  wholesomebabyfood.com  GL!

I add some of the left over water in things like sweet potato...things that don't seem "wet" enough after they're pureed.  Fruit usually doesn't need anything.  I just wait until after it's all blended and then decide if water or milk needs to be added.

Thanks! That makes sense to add the liquid after it defrosts. After buying a bunch of food at Target yesterday I will be making my own... They tried to make it look like it was on sale, but really when you broke it down it was the normal price: .97. Grr..
