I try to use organic produce as much as possible in my food preparation for our family.  I participate in a organic food coop and can usually get a decent price on organic produce,  However, it's not always convenient to process my produce into baby food, so Hayden can benefit from the good stuff too.  Usually, I end up going to Sprouts and purchasing several jars of baby food for him to eat during the week.  Let's face it, it's a lot easier to pick up pre-made baby food than to make it yourself.  At Sprouts a jar of Earth's Best organic baby food is approximately .79 cents a jar.  This can get a bit pricey considering the little guy loves to eat!

Today, I had to go to Trader Joe's to do some grocery shopping for our family and my mother.  I noticed that  a bag of frozen organic green beans was $1.69 per bag.  I thought I'd try to make some good, organic baby food for Hayden.  I purchased two bags of frozen green beans and came home to see how my new Omega juicer would perform in the baby food making arena!  In the past when I have made baby food I have just used my food processor, which works well, but I wanted to see how the Omega did.

The prep time was minimal.  I slightly steamed the green beans, drained them and let them cool.  I ran them through the juicer two times, added some water to bring it to a thinner consistency, and ended up with nine wonderful jars of baby food for Hayden.  This all took less than 25 minutes.  Bottom line...I saved $3.38 on nine jars of food and Hayden has delicious, fresh, organic baby food!  Gotta love it!

My Omega makes delicious juice as well.  The pictures below show Hannah helping me make some carrot, apple, beet juice.  I do think Hannah enjoyed making the juice more than she enjoyed drinking it!

Amazing!  Two posts in two days!  LOL!  That probably won't happen again for a while!
