Sweet potato was Ty's first food. He still loves it! That's why I'm wondering about beets. They are both roots, and sorta starchy. I guess maybe beets are just harder on the stomach so some books say to wait maybe?

I haven't done any pureed meat! A good friend spent the day making a tiny organic beef stew...little tiny onion, some carrot, some organic beef, pureed it all...he son gagged and gagged and would NOT eat it...she was so ticked

I'm looking forward to it! I have a pretty strict (well to me it's just normal, I've been doing it so long) diet and make all of my own foods pretty much. I love to cook and experiment, it's a stress reliever for me

My folks gave me a Champion Juicer they didn't use a whole lot. Talk about an awesome machine! It's suppose to be great for baby food (will probably do peas better than my Thanksgiving peas..the "shell" never fully pureed away in the processor and gave a rougher texture than jarred). This machine makes chilled "ice creams" that you wouldn't believe. Take a really ripe banana, freeze it and then push through the juicer....it's like ice cream without all the junk in it!

I hope your friend saved the stew in the freezer!! They do get use to it and if nothing else you can super puree it and use it as a sauce for other foods, foods they're not as excited about.

(l have the deceptively delicious cookbook on hand too, just in case! )
