Charlie is now 10 months old. Those early days of trial and error were challenging, but they paid off. Charlie now eats EVERYTHING. I gradually introduced all foods, varying texture, cooking method and flavour to make the best babyfood possible. I now have a baby who eats and enjoys a wide variety of healthy foods. People say I am lucky, but I don't think its luck, but hard work. I've decided to start a babyfood company. All the research and effort over the past few months will support a growing business plan for a company called Pat-a-cake. The focus will be on organic frozen baby food. At 10 months, Charlie now eats what we eat. This was accomplished by slowing exposing him to an increasingly wider range of textures and flavours, and also by modifying our diet to be more suitable for a baby. I believe this is ideal. Family meals are important for a number of reasons. I'd like to morph this blog from a 'how to make babyfood' site to a 'how to make one family meal that everyone can enjoy' site.. However, it is difficult to cook three times a day. Enter convenience foods. Dry cereals, lunch meats and jarred pasta sauces and chicken nuggets. If you are commited to serving healthy food, it is possible to avoid all processed convenience stuff. For me, freezing food in ice cubes has been a perfect option. I really enjoy doing it, and it takes no time at all to pop some cubes in a bowl and microwave them.
