Today I attempted homemade pureed turkey for DS with a little garlic, oregano and basil. I always taste everything before giving to him and it tastes ok, but the texture is just awful...it is very gritty. I plan to mix it with a veggie like carrots, sweet potatoes or squash and a little rice cereal in hopes the texture will not bother Tipp.
For those who made their own foods, especially meats, do you have any tips on how I can get this smoother? I made sure the meat was cold as suggested on Wholesomebabyfood.com and I tried both my food processor and blender.
Re: Homemade babyfood...Meats?
Thanks...DH was disgusted I was giving it to DS. I think I may just end up buying a few jars of meat baby food, at least until we move onto small bites of meat.
That is exactly what we did. It won't be too long before he can have little bites - they grow up so fast!
we did very little meat "purees" here either. it was just gross lol. so i would add lentils and brown rice to the veggie purees i made so that there was more protein w/o the gross nubby meat.
what very little pureed meat we served was always very well mixed w/veggies and cheese. that helped mask the texture a lot.
