Pouches

We love pouches around here.  I can get George to eat ANYTHING out of a pouch.  You know... the ones that cost $1.50-$2 each??  Well, that's how George has been getting his veggies lately.  It's lazy, but it works.

So about 2 weeks ago I had this brilliant idea.  It was how I was going to make my millions.  I thought about the logistics all day.  I was going to make a reusable baby food pouch!  Well, I got on Pinterest the next day and saw this:



So... there goes that idea.  I'm not going to be a millionaire after all.  But I did buy them.  And I do plan on using them, but I also planned on making all my own baby food and that lasted about 2 months.  So I may be doing a hybrid of homemade and using cheaper baby foods in these babies.  Either way, I won't be buying the expensive pouches for everyday, at-home use.

So I have been trying to find recipes to match some of the pouch recipes that George loves.  Here are the ideas that I have so far (all stolen from the websites of the popular brands), but I still have to find the recipes:

Spinach, Apples & Rutabaga - Carrots, Apples & Parsnips - Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Apples & Blueberry  - Squash, Carrots, Apples & Prunes - Broccoli, Pears & Peas - Pea, Spinach & Apples - Carrot, Squash & Apples - Pear & Pea - Pumpkin, Carrot & Apple - Apples, Blueberries & Spinach - Banana Squash - Pear Spinach - Carrots, Apples & Mangoes - Pears, Carrots & Peas - Pear & Squash - Apple & Sweet Potato

So stay tuned for recipes. I will be posting them as I find them (for my personal reference) and updating them as I make them and George gives his approval (or disapproval).
