It really simplifies the steaming process, since steamed fruit leaves most if not all of the nutrients intact. WARNING! Place a napkin over the bag for blueberries! When they burst in the bag the spray leaves the venting slits!! It is quite messy if you don't cover the bag!

  Re: Baby Food Recipe Post Reply Contact I didn't have this problem w/ the zip lock steam bags. Do you steam everything? Or just your bb?

  Re: Baby Food Recipe Post Reply Contact I did only blueberries, the whole pint, in the gladware bags, and the steam was full of blueberry juice comng out the vent slits of the bag, I know the bags have a diff shape so maybe that is why your's didn't spray? For the tofu, I followed thw wholesome baby food recipe and have mixed it so far with bananas, and sweet potatoes. He seems to like it. You should make the whole block at once though, otherwise you"ll have to change the water its in everyday. You can freeze it in the portion size you need. I could only find my tofu in the organic aisle, and there wasn't a baby specific obrand, just look for one that is soft.

I didn't steam my apricots and they were waaaaay too tart so I wound up having to slow cook them over low heat in a saucepan. Oops!

But I've found that if you cut the banana into pieces and then freeze and then puree it comes out to a better consistency. Also freezing a peeled banana (in saran wrap) is awesome for teething babies!

So far we've tried curry, allspice, cinnamon, and chili powder. Just a tiny dash when I mix it; but I was looking for other suggestions of what others have tried.

I usually add a little bit of pepper to his veggies too.
