The good news about homemade baby food recipes is that you don’t have to get fancy with ingredients to serve up a nutritious meal to your littles. As adults, we wouldn’t eat just one thing—an apple—for a meal. But when starting baby on solid foods, it’s a good idea to try things individually, one at a time, to ensure that baby will eat them, and that they are not allergic to anything you’re trying to feed them.
Great solid foods to steam and puree for simple baby food recipes are: carrots, apples, green peas, beets, green beans, butternut squash, avocados, bananas, peaches, plums, pears, and kiwi fruit. But it doesn’t have to stop there!
Start small. Concocting your own baby food recipes doesn’t have to be a tremendous task. In fact, it shouldn’t be a huge undertaking at all! The goal is to feed your baby healthy nutrients that you can see, all while saving you time and money.
