Triple yes to making babyfood cubes! all you need is a food processor and the sentience to boil water. What I do:
-Buy frozen organic veggies, boil them in a little water, and puree them (this also works for carrots). Then freeze and pop into a plastic bag.
- Bake sweet potatoes in their jackets (or boil peeled ones). The skins slip off easily. Puree and freeze.
- Poach some chicken breasts or tenders in organic boxed broth. Puree with a little broth, put in trays, freeze.
The veggies are easily combined with rice cereal or other foods. It's incredibly fast and cheap -- because who can't boil water? And the bright color and taste of my fresh-frozen veggies compared even to the organic jarred veggies sealed the deal.
