Homemade Peas

I was so excited to start making preston some homemade baby food. Brandi ( one of my friends from show low ) told me about a blog that was full of homemade baby food recipes. Its an awesome site...www.simplybabyfoodrecipes.net... i would recommend it to anyone! Anyways i went to the store and bought my mini food processor and some fresh peas still in the pod and some green beans. I started out simple with just a regular pea recipe since it was his first real food meal....i steamed the peas ( i learned that boiling veges takes alot of the nutrients out and is left in the water) then i put the peas in the food precessor and added the little water on the bottom of the pot to them and poured it in ice cube trays and froze it. After it was frozen i put them in baggies and labled and dated them and now when im ready i take one out (perfect size for one feeding) and warm it up, ive been mixing it with some rice cereal also. Well a couple of days ago was his first time and he did not know what to think. Haha it was so cute though...hed make his faces like " eecckk mom what are you feeding me " but id smile and say yuummm and hed start smiling and swallow it. He actually ate it all and didnt spit it up. Im so proud!
These are a couple of pics of his "faces"...hes such a funny guy
