But I had totally planned to make my own baby food. I am really looking forward to it, but I am a bit behind. I am supplementing with Gerber right now until I get my act together. I have some sweet potatoes and carrots to bake and steam but nothing to store them in. I would love any suggestions on great storage containers for food. Also, any great recipes you have would be great too. Ian seems to be very adventurous and hasn't turned away any veggies or fruit yet. Below are some pictures from our adventures with baby food.
Ian eating rice cereal before Christmas. So clean.
Not quite interested in the oatmeal yet.
Eating sweet potatoes from Aunt Jodi and loving it!

we made our own baby food as well...one suggestion is to get plastic ice cube tray and freeze the food in the cube sections...then you can transfer to ziploc bags to keep frozen...take out what you need and thaw/heat.
i was going to say the same thing as the first commenter. Get some inexpensive ice cube trays. One cube is one ounce of food, it is easy to keep track that way. I used the Take n' toss containers to serve/store thawed food, they are inexpensive and leakproof.
The best resource I had for babyfood was www.wholesomebabyfood.com Aubrey loved butternut squash, just cut in half, place face down in a pan, add some water to cover cut area and bake at 400 degrees until it is soft when you stick a knife or fork in it. Let it cool a bit and scoop it out and put it in your food processor. Usually you don't even need to add water to puree, but if you do, you can use some of the water left over in the pan.
oops, I forgot to say to scoop out the seeds before baking the squash.
