Okay I don't know whats going on....

LittleGus · June 2011

With this whole chatzy business but I'm staying here. Because I'm not cool. And that's how I like it.

BUT I do have a question. Can I use frozen veggies to make Noelle's food? If yes, do I boil to cook or can i just steam and puree? If no, then dang because it seems to easy!

Do you like how I disguised a food question post?

I'm glad you're staying!

And we're not doing solids just yet, but from what I've read, you can definitely use frozen veggies to make the food, and I don't know why you couldn't steam it and then puree!

LittleGus · June 2011

Thanks guys - I know Google can tell me these things too but I like to see what everyone else is doing too. Hecky aren't some frozen foods not cooked though prior to freezing? Or does steaming count as cooking them. Gawd I'm a fail sometimes! And I'm assuming that salt would be added on the ingredient list if it was in fact added....

I just bought some sugar free frozen peaches in hopes of making baby food. I read online that you can steam or even heat in the microwave since most frozen food is already cooked.

I'm going to piggy back my food question onto Guss' post.

What do you guys freeze your purees in? I have two different types of containers and need more ideas. I still don't have enough containers.

Guss, I have been buying frozen vegetables in ready-to-steam bags. They are awesome. Pop them in the microwave a few minutes and done! The ingredients are only the veggies themselves. No preservatives.

I freeze everything in ice cube trays which is so nice because 1 cube = 1 ounce. Once its frozen I put them into freezer ziplock bags with the date and what it is, then in the morning or the night before I take out what I want and thaw it in her little serving bowls (that have lids).

And I'm loving the ready to steam bag idea! Thank you!

I steam when I use frozen and chatzy is actually fun. It's fast and the chat is fun. It's for everyone, not just the cool kids or the hors.

Just make sure you don't freeze baby food that is made from frozen veggies. You can't refreeze.

Ashton look about 2/3 down - looks like you are fine to continue what you're doing, and starting next week I'll be doing it too

Whew, because those steam ready bags are awesome. I also do the veggies that are all together like green beans, peas, corn and carrots. That way he gets a good variety.

If your too cheap to buy ice cube trays (read: me) you can also just plop a tablespoon of food on wax paper like just like cookie dough on a cookie sheet until they freeze and then bag 'em up!

cndmexbaby · June 2011

I can't believe I didn't know you could refreeze as long as you cook them first! This makes my life a lot easier. Wow.

Jessi+Aiden · June 2011

Frozen works but don't use canned, and steaming does count as cooking because yes, a lot of frozen veggies are not cooked through.
