ditto mamacakes. I steamed, and then pureed in the blender, poured into ice cube trays to freeze and then transferred to tupperware! It really is easy. I woul try to get everything done in one day and it would make enough for a month. It only took about two hours since you can get all your burners going at once! good luck and let me know if you have any questions

I was going to post a website for you, but Elijah`s Mom beat me to it! That is the website I always look stuff up on. It is great!

Sure. I have the book....so easy baby food by joan ahlers and cheryl tallman. It is a great book. Basically, all your fruits and veggies need to be washed, peeled cut into smaller pieces, put in a microwave safe bowl with 2 tbs of water, cover, microwave until soft enough to process (dont over cook or you will take out nutrients) and let cool down a little and put in blender. puree until smooth and add water as needed. it is so easy. Then you freeze them in ice cube trays and then store in a freezer safe bowl in freezer for up to 3 months. just take as many as you need out and let thaw or microwave for about 20 sec. soooooo easy!! Avacado and banana dont need cooking. just make sure they are ripe and mash until the right consistency. For meat- boil, cut up, put in blender and it will end up like a powder. Add water and puree. easy!

cook/steam and puree` LOL....thats it.....except bananas..they dont need to be cooked before puree`ing.....after preparing the food i poor it into ice cube trays and freeze for storing. Make sure you label the tray though so you know whats in it! LOL Each cube is 1 ounce of food. If you go on e-bay you can purchase Ice cube trays from Tupperware....they come with lids...its what i use!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
