Really, all you need is a food processor or food mill and then whatever fruits and veggies you want to start feeding Ollie. We used ice cube trays to put the food in and then freeze. Then when it was solid, we'd pop it out, and store it in freezer bags. The size of the basic ice cube trays were the perfect amount for Gabriel when he was little. As he got older, I either just used 2 cubes so he'd have more food, or I started saving some plasic gerber baby food containers and reused those to freeze the food in. <br /><br />I didn't make EVERYTHING (like Mango, Papaya, Apricots) b/c it wasn't much cheaper and it was a LOT more work. But I still wanted to make sure Gabriel was able to taste a lot of those different kinds of foods. He still LOVES all three of those fruits.<br /><br />Shoot me an msg on FB if you want to know more or have questions! :)<br /><br />KristinaKristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827354493519591978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402802462310662235.post-42392179245558025192010-06-02T11:17:20.196-05:002010-06-02T11:17:20.196-05:00You're so organized Kristina!

Then I wake up and realize I'm still scatterbrained! :)<br />I will have to keep Oliver's food jars once he goes down that path.<br />Speaking of baby food, have you ever made your own? If so, I would love your insight!<br />~Erinunforeseenexpressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656067821724067403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402802462310662235.post-68914593550270123142010-05-27T22:16:43.282-05:002010-05-27T22:16:43.282-05:00Love them girl, glad they turned out great!!!Love them girl, glad they turned out great!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402802462310662235.post-37190231884274879092010-05-27T13:48:29.258-05:002010-05-27T13:48:29.258-05:00Andrew - GREAT IDEA!

The one thing that I thought you might enjoy is a Lazy Susan turntable. We use one for our spices in our cupboard. It allows you to put all of the product on it and allow the rotating mechanism to help you find what you are looking for without having to reach to the back of the cupboard.<br /><br />This is a link to get a visual of what I am talking about. We found ours at Bed Bath and Beyond.<br /><br />http://www.organizeit.com/po102tier.asp?rtnFile=lazysusan&rtnDisplay=Lazy+Susan+Turntables<br /><br />- AndrewAndrew K.
