We are saving us money, we are saving us money

Ilana loves to eat. This girl can pack it in! So, we have decided to save money by making her food. Although it's not the easiest process, it saves us a TON of money. I can't imagine buying the little jars of food every time she needed to eat. The grinder was given to us (Thanks, Susan!), and it has gotten tons of use. We are even taking it home with us over Christmas break. Let the feast begin!
This particular night we needed to make some more avocado and pear. So we cut out the bad parts of the avocado...
grind away...
and fill up the ice cube tray (the perfect portion size).
Freeze them overnight, defrost as needed and enjoy! As you can see, the "enjoying" is Ilana's favorite part.

Hey Heather! It's great to see your blogs, Ilana is getting so big! Another suggestion for making her food would be to use a blender, it makes larger quantities faster and easier. I often blended up whole oats, and frozen mixed veggies, or whole oats and mixed berries, bananas were a good thickener. Zoe and Iz loved it. It really is a great money saver to make your own food, plus you know exactly what your kids are eating!
