FOOD NINJA

It is officially that time again...baby food making time. A few years ago when I took Connor to his 4 month check up his Pediatrician recommended that I get this fabulous cook book from WilliamSonoma- I had heard of a friend- Kirsha- via her blog and she had done the very thing. I spoke with my friend Fae about it and it turned out she already had the cookbook and was thinking about making some of the baby food recipes in the book. ( If you want to go back in time and see Fae and I approx. two years previous click HERE.)

Well, my mom bought me a grand new machine- the Food Ninja and I have been dying to try it out. My friend from work was generous enough to give me some beautiful apples from her very own apple tree (thanks Sandy). Even though Baby Calvin was not quite old enough for the baby food- Connor and I went to work on getting them ready. I peeled, rinsed, and chopped. Connor's job was to take the smaller segments and put them into the steamer- however, more went into his mouth than made it into the steamer. He has never- ever been into apples THAT much.

Maybe because they were fresh,

Maybe because they were bite sized,

or-

Maybe because they were designated for Baby Calvin?

After making the baby food I had set some apples aside to make some applesauce for Connor. When I gave him his fresh bowl of applesauce- he pushed them away and said, "No mom- I don't eat baby food- I'n a big boy. On a side note, Adam thought it was great.

We had to postpone the apples for now and had to restart on butternut squash. The apples sent Baby Calvin into a true taste bud coma. We called it "bitter apple face". We will try again once we get a few more tastes down.
