Baby Food Makers: Create a Combo

BC&LMBC&LM member
edited February 2014 in June 2013 Moms
Hey, all of you baby food makers. I have the following ingredients to make and freeze a bunch of baby food cubes this weekend:

Apple
Butternut squash
Parsnips
Peaches
Beets
Eggplant
Cherries
Kiwi
Amaranth
Chickpeas
Carrots
Kale
ETA: We also have pasta and cheese.

Anyone up for suggesting some combos using three or four ingredients? I already came up with some ideas using the wholesomebabyfood site's lists of what goes well with what, but you ladies are all so good at this that I thought you might think of some awesome ideas I didn't!

    My kid literally gags on everything I make for him but will devour the premade pouches, so I'm no help to you. Butttt how about:

    Apple,kale, carrot

    Pasta, cheese, eggplant, carrot

    Another vote for squash and apple

    Cherry, kiwi, peach

    Beet, amaranth, parsnip

    Do these sound gross? :)


    Not at all gross! Very helpful. :). I actually had your eggplant mix on my list already!

    Play baby food roulette? Just freeze each ingredient individually then jus t mix 3 random cubes together. No? Am I the only one that has done this?

    This is what I do! Sometimes I end up with weird combinations like zucchini prune yogurt but he doesn't complain!

    What is amaranth? It's a grain, right?

    I know it's not on your list but I made baby shepards pie which was a hit. Beef potatoes carrots and peas.

    But I agree with the baby food roulette

    We have done that on occasion, but sometimes we like to premix too.

    What kind of cheese do you use? Do you just purée it with the rest of the ingredients? We haven't done cheese yet.

    @Cricket81 We did a mild cheddar cheese from Whole Foods. We shredded it up so that it was very fine, and then just puréed it with the steamed eggplant and parsnips. I'm not sure if the warm veggies ended up melting it or if the blending function just blended it really well, but it turned out great. LO gobbled it up. Sorry I didn't answer a few days ago when you originally asked. This was our first time doing it, and I wanted to make sure it would work before I told you.
