Guess What We Got....

Back in March we embarked on a "Chicken Adventure" and added 8 girls to our home! Over the past 17 weeks we have had a blast watching them grow! I never knew having "fresh eggs" would be this much fun! Now we have 2 active girls laying an egg a day and 6 more ready to start laying at anytime. I LOVE the taste of fresh eggs in our foods. Plus the girls are fed a non-medicated diet and free range during the day.. So I know these eggs couldn't get any better!!!

HomeMade Baby Food - Sweet Potato

Sweet Potatoes

 

*NOTE* White or Light colored Sweet Potatoes are more dry and not as tasty as the deeper orange colored sweet potatoes.

Wash and poke holes in sweet potato with fork then wrap sweet potatoes in tin foil - do not peel for baking/microwaving.

Place in a 400 degree oven and bake for 30-60 minutes or until soft

Remove skins by slitting the sweet potato lengthwise when cooled then scoop out the "meat".

Puree with liquid of your choice (water, breastmilk, etc.) until desired consistancy!

Place in ice-cube treys and freeze. Take frozen cubes and place in ziploc freezer bags. I store mine no longer than 2-3 months!
