so cool! I was just triing to figure out where to start making and freezing my baby food. I did this with my oldest two kids but it has been a few years and I just needed a starting place, this is perfect! I just want to add after I get all my purees done, I do once a week cooking for my rice, oatmeal, other grains, and then reheat in the micrave then add one or two frozen purees to it, stir and keep stirring and once the the puree is melted it has taken out all the hotspots. Always test to make sure of course but it works for me.
Thanks again for this timely menu!
