Everyone is going "green" and looking for "organic" products these days.  With foreign chemicals being found in everything, contamination being a scare among consumers and environmental concern growing each day, there is a growing interest in organic foods. 

All you need is a food processor of any kind, a fork or a potato masher can work as well.  Here are some easy tips for making your own organic baby food:

• Steam, boil or bake the fruits and veggies to keep as many essential vitamins as possible.
• Peel and Pit, take off the skins, seeds, and veins of the food.
• No Seasonings, avoid adding salt or spices to the food.
• Freeze and Save, use baggies or ice cube trays to portion and freeze foods for later use.
• Cook throughly, for meat wash, clean and cook thoroughly before boiling and grinding.

Finding organic foods can be as easy as going to your farmer's markets. Making organic baby food is good for your baby and it's cheaper than buying the little jars of food. If you have a moment to make and freeze some organic baby food, I suggest you give it a try!
