Baby Food Grinder

I’ve read enough about making baby food to know most moms seem to agree the easiest method is to make big batches and freeze it in serving sized cubes. Just one question- what method is best to thaw out the food at feeding time? It seems microwaving would defeat the purpose of making ‘better’ baby food. Do you thaw it in the fridge overnight? Put it in a saucepan with a little water? Some other method I haven’t thought of…?

Just found a very informative article written by Leslie Quigley over at Eco Child’s Play.

Leslie discusses her approach to feeding solids to her son, including her reasons for choosing home made food. She covers techniques for preparation, cooking, storing and reheating. It’s refreshing to read an article based on real world experiences, and there’s also a handy little butternut squash recipe.
