This is one of my favorites……my wife and I never bought commercial baby food ever!

Basically you’re preparing meats and vegetables with the manual food processor, putting the puréed mixture into ice cube trays for freezing, then when you’re making a meal you defrost 1 or 2 cubes of vegetables and/or meats, combine with yogurt and viola! – fresh healthy baby food.
Meat preparation:
For fish, we usually use a white fish because it’s easier on the baby’s stomach. We steam or poach it, put it through the food processor, then into the ice cube trays.
For meat or chicken, we would cook as normal but without any spices or marinade. You also then puree it in the manual food processor and place into the ice cube trays.
 

For vegetables, you can use the food processor to initially chop it up, boil or steam them to soften it up some more, then puree it further and place into the trays.

My wife and I like to use frozen mixed vegetables – boil them on the stove, puree them and you’re done.

What are they?

Much as the title says, manual food processors are machines that chop, dice or otherwise prepare food without any type of electrical motor – yes, you provide the power by means of a handle or crank.

If you’re like me, and don’t have a lot of cabinet or counter space, manual food processors can be a god send. They’re light weight, space efficient, and also green!

Manual food processors can be used in the same way as their bulkier, most expensive brethren – prepping fruits and vegetables for further cooking. or my favorite, making your own baby food
