she eats: 1 hour & 3 meals.

if you didn't already know, it's been freezing here this week. after going grocery shopping earlier this morning i vowed to not exit the house for the rest of the day. but the downside of this means keeping us entertained at home all day. (oh, heaven help us!)

so while miss r. napped, i decided to get crankin' in the kitchen! and i'm here to tell you that making 3 separate meals/7 portions of food for your baby in under an hour is possible- because i did it!

from this:

-1 lb. browned ground turkey

- 5 whole roasted carrots

- 2 roasted potatoes 

- 1/4 C dried natural cranberries

to this:

FIRST RECIPE: GROUND TURKEY & DRIED CRANBERRIES

it's really as easy as it sounds. combine : 1/3 C browned ground turkey, cranberries & breast milk in the blender and blend to desired consistency. more milk will make it more liquid and easier to really puree. 

SECOND RECIPE: OREGANO CARROTS & TURKEY

combine the roasted carrots, 1/3 C browned turkey, sprinkle of dried oregano, splash of olive oil and splash of breast milk in the blender. again, blend to desired consistency! 

RECIPE THREE: ROASTED POTATOES, GROUND TURKEY & ROSEMARY

it's just that easy! combine your roasted potatoes, 1/3 C ground turkey and a few sprigs of rosemary in the blender! but watch closely as potatoes tend to get all starchy and sticky if over blended.

in a matter of minutes i was able to make 7 portions of food for miss r.! because it was so much i decided to freeze the extras! i use beaba freezer portion containers, but you can just as easily use a ice cube tray! in fact that might even be better! these portions are a little too big for miss r. at this stage...

cheers to what looks like a pureed thanksgiving dinner! these kids won't even know what hit them! thanksgiving will come around and they won't think it's anything special because they've been eating that good all year round;)

bon appétit!
