I have finally lost it!!!

I have logged back on to tell you as I can't stop laughing at myself!!! Dear God!!!

I have been making bronwyn purees, today I have done carrot, apple which are in ice cube trays freezing ready to bag up. Then I made sweet potato and broccoli. What's the problem? No more ice cube trays!!!! PANIC!!! I have managed to put the sweet potato into small baby food jars but ran out of storage for the broccoli. Never fear, I had a blinding flash of inspiration and went hunting in the cupboards......

I now have delightful little cubes, well beautiful rose, daisy and some other flower shaped broccoli purees!!!

Ha ha ha!!! I will have to use them before nursery or they will wonder what the hell I am on!!!! I knew that flower ice cube tray would come in handy 1 day!!!! HELLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

I think that's enchanting!!! You should write it in Bronwyn's baby book, so she too can have a laugh when she's older.

I too have started feeding seif purees, but somehow the trend here is to stick to one type of puree per week, to check for any allergies or food reactions, so I still haven't the chance to experiment with sweet potato and broccoli or fruits.

By the way, I prepare him fresh food everyday, so I was wondering, Is it really worth it to freeze food rather that make it every day. Doesn't it loose alot of it's vitamins?

I will Samiha, I will laugh every time I go to feed her the broccoli! Seif will love sweet potato, bronwyn gobbles it down. Its her favourite!!!

The baby books that I have all advise you to freeze the puree in cubes. I think freezing preserves the vitamins. I have made and frozen seperate vegetables so that I can mix and match them. For example bronwyn had 2 cubes of carrot mixed with 1 pea and 1 parsnip on monday.

Hehe Caroline,we've been there too!! Well huting through the cupboards for pots not making flower shaped puress!!!! I'm sure Bronwyn will be very impressed with all mummys cooking!!

Samiha, It's apparently fine to freeze purees and quite 'the done thing' here. The food doesn't lose any of its nutritional benefits and because you can prepare and freeze on the day of purchase i think it can be better!!
By the way, If you're 2 hours ahead of us in Cairo, weren't you up at 2:00 in the morning??!!
