More wonderful ideas for using your Babycook to make baby food and save money!
Yellow Peaches
Peel and de-pit 4 peaches. Steam in Babycook on level 2. Remove from steam basket and puree. (I didnt need any liquid to get a good consistency with the peaches.) Reserve liquid for Baby Juice if desired.
Output: 14 ounces
Homemade Cost: $0.09 per ounce
Gala Apples
Peel and core 2 apples. Steam in Babycook on level 2. Puree with liquid as needed. (I chose to reserve the liquid for Baby Juice and puree with distilled water).

Kiwi
Peel 4 kiwi and steam on level 2. Remove from steam basket and puree. Add liquid if needed for consistency. Reserve liquid for Baby Juice if desired.

Genevieve's Smile
I have recently opened a shop on Etsy to sell my homemade crafts. I named my shop Genevieve's Smile after my daughter. My shop sells jewelry and hair bows. I have some items premade and ready to ship and I have others that can be custom ordered. I hope that you will all support me in my new endeavor.
