I used a food processor instead and sometimes I just mashed with a fork and added breast milk to Thin it out. I felt the same way with the cereal, but I knew i wanted to take it slowly and see how things went. I used organic earthsbest oatmeal and cereal to start out then ventured to sweet potatoes. I just boiled a bunch and mashed them up and put them in ice cube trays. The process went on with the veggies and fruits. I must say that I did not have the problem with ace about "not going back".. Once we passed the three day rule for things I wold mix things up like apples and peas or butternut squash and peaches.. He did go through a phase recently and sometimes turns his nose about textures but I just continue to offer or present it in another way.. Sometimes I bust out a green smoothie. I enjoy all the pouches as well especially because we are driving and on the road a lot it was easy (and still is) to have the pouches on hand. Ace still enjoys them from time to time but definitely is showing his personality and what he prefers. He LOVES dairy so I have to be careful with how much I give him because he just wants more and more after that. I'm hoping your blog cans we've as some accountability for me and keep me on track with all the exciting veggie talk! I feel like The last year I have really learned a lot about foods and clean eating and my goal is to find balance and moderate. Joseph's family is not very conscious of what the eat and because we do travel fast food tempts us a lot. Right now I'm trying to focus on meal planning and when we get settled in our new house I plan on having a really fun veggie garden. We also found a company that delivers organic produce, eggs, milk and breads to your front door which we will be utilizing because I want to grow my pallet! They just bring what's in season at that time so I think it will be great for us. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794436967279673618noreply@blogger.com
