Highlight of my weekend
Sunday, March 6, 2011 
Lately my weekends have not been too productive on the crafting / baking front. I've basically spent them running errands, going to the doctor (we've all been sick for about 3 weeks straight now), doing laundry and -- my favorite activity as of late -- making baby food.
Bon Bon received a baby-food maker for Christmas + more color-coordinated baby-food-making accessories than you could ever wish for. I decided I would feed her homemade baby food during the week and save the store-bought baby food for when we're out and about.
So far she's been very good about trying new things -- she always gives us a suspicious look when tasting the first few spoonfuls of a new food, but she quickly warms up to it. She's already eating carrots, potatos, apples, bananas, zucchini, artichokes and leeks. On deck this week: pears, celery root and parsnips.
Even though the baby food maker is tiny (we use the one made by Beaba), it sometimes produces more than I can store. This is no problem as I normally just combine any left over puree with part of the cooking liquid to make soup, or we just eat the puree as is. I then take the remaining cooking liquid, which is basically vegetable stock, and freeze it in a miniature muffin mold to use later in recipes. It's all very economical and nothing goes to waste.
