Is lo eating meat/chewing yet or still on purée?

Most things you can freeze tbh. I puree up a big batch of each veg then freeze it in ice cube trays then I can mix and match his dinners!!

Sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, courgette, swede, green bean, broccoli, pear, apple separately, or a mixture. I got some natty containers from Amazon with lids, one was the annabel karmal one, (looks like a large ice cube tray) the other was a set of 6 individual ones xx

This is what I Do too. I have Annabel Karmel's recipe book too but so far K has only had sweet potato and carrots.

I've just got some of the food ice cube tray things. looking forward to using them. Been to shop and got sweet potato and carrot for cooking and freezing but I also got some brocoli, avocado and bananas. See how those go for now. x

You cant freeze banana or avocado (just incase you didnt know!!) I literally walk down the aisle in tesco and pick up a new fruit and veg everytime im in there!! n I have made homemade stock too so I pick and choose!! As he is getting older I am starting to make 'meals' but the veg is a good failsafe and i know I can bulk things out with them!!

I like strawberry apple and peach, carrot and sweet potato, and the chicken casserole recipe on the Annabel karmel website. I put a freezer bag over his baby bowl and spoon the amount in I want then freeze it. Then when I defrost it I can actually open the bag back up over the bowl and feed him straight from that.

The best thing about it is if you fill his bowl with hot water you can pop the bag in the hot water to warm up. It's a good idea just to twist the top of the bag not tie it off cos it can be a pain in the butt.
