Food Steamer = sanity

When my first child reached 5 months, it was time to start introducing solids.
I decided that I would start making my own baby food purees, and so invested in a three tier food steamer.
I LOVED IT!
It made life so much easier to chop vegies, place in the steamer layers and set the timer.
I quickly got into a routine of making a week's worth of meals at a time, and freezing the portions in ice cube trays, and then in small food containers of assorted colours, making a chart for the fridge so I knew what was in each colour container.
It took about 3-4 hours each week, but I was so thankful as each week passed that I had done the hard yards and all the preparation in advance.
