Leftovers

Sometimes I research recipes, sometimes I see something while shopping, and sometimes it's just what I have leftover and that's what ends up as baby food.  Last night's special was cheesy broccoli and noodles.
Left overs make great baby food if you have a food processor.

• Be aware of high salt, sugar and fat content in "adult" food before you use it for baby food.

Today is pinto beans and ham!

I love adding beans to food as protein and texture.  Super easy item to stock up on when it's on sale at the grocery store.  I like Simple Truth Organic brand at Kroger.

Ingredients:
1 can of Pinto Beans, drained and rinced
2 slices of Ham deli meat.
6 oz of carrots (diced or shredded)
1 cup of Vegetable Stock
2 T butter
2t Cinnamon
Sprinkle of Cumin and Ginger

Take all of these ingredients and cook in a sauce pot for 20 minutes, med/low heat.  Make sure carrots are softened or continue cooking.  The size of the carrot depicts cooking time.
Drain and reserve the cooking liquid and add a little if needed to puree smooth.  Portion and freeze.
This recipe make 6, 4oz jars.
