Book Reviews of Blender Baby Food: Over 125 Recipes for Healthy Homemade Meals

Book Review: Essential baby book. A must-have for your recipe collection
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this book and have recommended it to many of my friends who have babies. The recipes are quick and easy. You can make two or three at a time and freeze them. I liked taking one day a week and making a couple of recipes from this book while I was making dinner. It was only a little bit more work and I was cooking anyway. The recipes always make plenty and it gave me a lot of variety each day for feeding choices. The foods that you prepare yourself, just look and most significantly smell better than anything you can get out of a jar. Best of all, you know exactly what is in it.

I've been able to introduce my son to so many foods from this book. Some of the more unusual ones for babies are leeks, tilapia, and swiss chard. Just try getting any of these in a jar. Usually your choices for vegetables from a jar are carrots, green beans, peas, sweet potato, maybe corn, and maybe squash if you can find it. With this book, you can combine some really interesting vegetables with chicken or turkey and all the flavors blend nicely together and smell fantastic.

Now that my son is over 2, I'm finding myself pulling this book off the shelf again. When he doesn't feel well, he just wants some soft easy-to-eat food. He hasn't been eating as many vegetables lately, so I'm going to blend up a few recipes from this book until he starts feeling better. I'll get some food in his tummy and know he is getting some good vitamins too to help him feel better.

My mom said to me once, "When I get old and have trouble chewing, could you make me some of these recipes? They really taste great." I think that says it all.

Summary of Blender Baby Food: Over 125 Recipes for Healthy Homemade Meals

Making nutritious, homemade baby food has never been so easy!

Baby food doesn't have to come in jars, and making your own at home is not difficult. Baby food is strained, pur?ed or mashed adult food - just a different version of the food you prepare for yourself.

Here are three good reasons to make baby food at home:

  1. Knowing what's in it, therefore ensuring healthy and wholesome meals.
  2. Tailoring the texture to your baby's preferences.
  3. Shaping baby's tastes and helping him/her learn what fresh foods taste like.

Whether choosing to make all baby's food at home, or just some of it, the blender is a great way to offer new flavors in a baby-friendly texture. Once a child begins to eat table food, there is always an occasion for a fruit smoothie or a nutritious blended dip.

Here's a sampling of the deliciously easy recipes:

  • Six Months and Older: Peach and Pear Bananarama, Melon Madness, Zucchini and Nectarines, Roasted Vegetable Pur?e
  • Eight Months and Older: Vegetable Paella, Humus for Beginners, Chicken with Red Peppers and Corn, Beefy Broccoli
  • Nine Months and Older: Lemon Raspberry Yogurt, Over the Top Applesauce, Spinach and Tomatoes with Ricotta, Fisherman's Pie
  • Twelve Months and Older: Orange Banana Smoothie, Very Berry Pears, Broccoli and Cauliflower Melt, Veggie Cream Sauce

All the recipes in Blender Baby Food are accompanied by suggested age guidelines. Also included are lots of great tips for making baby food, storage and freezing guidelines as well as the appropriate way to thaw and reheat food. Plus, none of the recipes calls for any of the salt, sugar, starches or fillers found in many commercially prepared baby foods. Blender Baby Food helps parents give their baby the best nutritional advantage.
