Baby Food Making
Type & Click Workshop Recap
I’ve mentioned a few times on the blog that I’m making David’s baby food purees at home. Nothing against the store bought stuff, I just thought it would be fun and easy.
It is definitely easy, and I really enjoy seeing David eat up a bunch of sweet potatoes that I made for him. As evidenced by his rolls, dude loves to eat. And it is fun to watch him enjoy food.
I’ve heard of baby led weaning, and have gotten a slew of comments from readers about how great that is as well. I’m enjoying feeding him purees, and it gives us a new thing to do, so if that’s a direction you want to go with your baby, I thought I’d share a little bit about the process.
Up until this point I was using a rice cooker to steam the veggies (I would usually just sautee the fruit since it’s more water-based) and then transfer over to my food processor. It worked like a charm, but there was a great deal of clean up after I was done making the puree.
I got to try out the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker and love that it has cut down on both time and dish washing.
I was skeptical about the size of the canister, but after a few uses, I’ve realized that I can really cram a bunch of cut up veggies in there since they soften as they are steamed.
I was directed to this post as I started looking into homemade baby food, and found it really helpful. I bought the ice cube trays she recommended, as well as the spatula she loves.
I bought a few organic zucchini at the store and made aΒ pureeΒ using the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker.
My favorite part was the timed steam function (this is based on the amount of water you pour into the machine). I was never sure when our rice cooker was going to be finished steaming the veggies, so I had to check it constantly. With this machine, I just walked away and let it do it’s thing.
A few pumps of the “chop” button and the zucchini were smooth and ready to be divided.
(process your veggies more than shown above, my final photo of the smooth veggies was blurry)
(that isΒ the Tovolo Ice Cube mold)
Like I said, I learned I could have squeezed a lot more veggies in there, and therefore made much more food, so don’t be disheartened by this seemingly small amount!
So, it is better than using a separate steamer and food processor? Yes in the sense that you’ll have less clean up and the whole process is quicker and more streamlined. If you like to make massive amounts of purees, you may want to stick with your large food processor.
As it turns out, David really hates zucchini. I’ll try mixing it with a bit of fruit, or try again in a few days, but as soon as I saw the “tremble of disgust” take over his body (you know what I’m talking about, right?) I knew it was time to back off the zucchini. There are plenty of other vegetables that he enjoys.
One thing he does love is pears. I used to love pears but I probably haven’t eaten one in a few years. We both enjoyed pears one day, and I grabbed a few photos as Justin was feeding him.

He’s so creative with his hashtags, isn’t he?
Comment below with any questions you have about the process. I’m still a newbie, but I’ve really enjoyed it and would love to be of any help to anyone else who is embarking on this process as well.

I love that the Cuisinart cooks and purees. I have a 5 month old, so I am starting to make all of her food, and this would make it way easier. I am excited for farmer’s market season, and will make everything I can – beans, pees, squash, apples, pears, you name it!
Sweet potatoes!
Apples & cinnamon
Any root veggie! They take too long to cook any other way!
Oh my goodness! This is BRILLIANT! It steams AND chops the food. I would love to use this for my 7 month old daughter’s food. I would make a mixture of strawberries and bananas for her. It’d be like a fruit smoothie!
This product is awesome – How cool is it that it will both steam AND puree?! This would save me so much time!!
I love mixing a couple different foods – my (and my son’s!) favorite combo is pumpkin and banana. I can’t wait til the pumpkins from my garden are ready this fall!
Looks like a great product! I am expecting my little boy in December and would love to make his baby food myself… Let’s see, apples, bananas, spinach.. All kinds of healthy baby yummies!
Apples, kale, spinach, and any berries!
This is so funny, because I just started making our son, Walker’s, baby purees at home on Sunday afternoon! We tried green beans and he was NOT a fan, but of course loved the tiny bit of banana I gave him to taste. I would love this baby food maker, because – you are right – so.many.dishes to clean. I would really like to try out some of the foods I can’t just mash (like avocados and bananas) and use it to try things like plums, zucchini, and carrots. π
Hi. My 5 month old will soon be going to fruits and veggies. I would love to have the baby food processor to make his food. I love reading your blog and finding out what’s to expect because David is about a month older than Lincoln π Your ideas are super helpful and I enjoy reading.
Peas, apple sauce, and avocado!
We still have a few months before my daughter will be on any baby food but I cannot wait to make her some carrots! My first LOVED carrots. Nothing better than a sweet vegetable! And good for the eyes π
You should try some parsnips and carrots this fall! Maybe with sweet potatoes. Love root veggies!
I would live to make applesauce! Even though I have toddlers now, I still make neatly everything from scratch for them. One of their favs is applesauce, but it’s kind of a pain. And I can’t bring myself to pay grocery store prices when organic apples are like $4 a bag π
6 months pregnant and researching all sorts of recipes in preparation for making baby food at home. Some of my ideas:
avocado
butternut squash
red beets/apples
kiwi (super high in vit C)/pear
David is adorable!
xo,
Claire
I would do squash, for sure. Baby doesn’t like the texture of the stuff, but has loved the flavor when I give him store-bought baby food. I’d love to be able to give him the homemade version!
I have a 3.5 month old boy and would love to win this! I look forward to trying sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, pears and apples with him!
Avocado + banana is a great combo!
I would love to use carrots, maybe squash, or any fruit! What a great idea!
I would try steaming sweet potatoes and squash… Yum!
I would love to make any and all fruits and veggies! My son will start solids next week and this would be perfect!!
You know, I’ve never had children so all haters out there can discount what I say but…
I loved watching my best friend feed both of her children. She went through about two weeks with both of them with baby food. Otherwise, she just mashed up whatever she was cooking for her family. The kids had a lot of yogurt, apple sauce, avocados straight from the shell, baby cereal, etc. She’s all about simplicity and no extra steps in all areas of her life so it made sense that she would do this. Her kids (now 5 and 9) are great eaters.
My mom said she never bought one JAR (70’s) of baby food because it was so much cheaper to just make it herself.
What you have looks really fun! Hey, enter me in the giveaway. I have plenty of friends I could give it to. 20 years out of college and I still attend a lot of baby showers and this would be a great gift.
I am making strawberries with the last of our harvest and a Florida sweet corn and rice puree. I think this machine would be excellent to help me out with my food making journey.
alopez36 at yahoo dot com.
I made my two and a half year olds food and like you said, it’s EASY and you can really make a lot in a short amount of time. Her favorite was mango’s and bananas – I used frozen mango’s, chunks of banana and some water, steamed until soft and blended. I’ll be making some for my 7 month old tonight (he’s exactly one month older than David π )!
I would like to make really anything! Sweet potatoes for sure!
Pears, zucchini, and carrots!
Berries! Yummy shaler_24@yahoo.com
I have been wondering what the best machine would be. I have not heard good things about a few of them out there, so I just didn’t know what one to get. My son just turned 5 months and I can’t wait to start feeding him solid foods, but wanted to make my own. It would be amazing to win this one! Thank you so much!
#fingerscrossed
I think I would try carrots and peas. I wonder what if she would like them mixed together? Probably not.
I would love to use it to steam sweet potatoes and carrots!
I would love to make my sweet and chunky 5 month old baby food! He loves all food so far, so it’d be great to get creative and see what else my little food lover would enjoy!!
My son is 9 months old and I have another one on the way! : ) He LOVES and I mean LOVES to eat. Zucchini and Squash he loves as well as anything I have given him so we haven’t found anything he doesn’t like yet….. I would have to say Sweet Potatoes are his favorite veggie and fruit he loves apples, pears and strawberries.
My e-mail address is chasercmt@gmail.com
My son will eat anything, so long as I mix peaches in with it!
So maybe an avocado and some peaches. (Weird to us, but my son gobbles it up!)
My daughter is five months old so I am just starting to thunk about fruits and veggies right now. We have a garden with peas, green beans, squash, zucchini, and carrots, so those are the foods I would probably start with. Our little orchard will also have apples, pears, and peaches this fall though! This machine looks awesome!
I LOVE is post so much. David is SO precious. The text is just perfection.
I can’t wait to try sweet potatoes, strawberries, pears (not all together, obv.) but steaming it would be SO much easier in this contraption!!! I need this in my life! π
I made all my sons’ s food too. I’d like to continue with my 5 week old when she gets older. My son loved zucchini, sweet potatoes, butternut squash.
I’m hoping to start making baby food for my little girl soon π Maybe trying some avacados first! linzibeckie@hotmail.com
I have a 4 month old and when we start baby food I think I’ll start with green beans and squash or sweet potatoes. I go through the veggies first and then move on to fruits!
Expecting a baby in October and this would be PERFECT!! I have plans to make our baby food this time around. I’m especially excited about apples, pears, squash, and sweet potatoes!
I would love the baby food maker! My little girl just turned 2 months and I am looking forward to starting her on purees as well. Do you get a lot of recipes off the internet or do you have a special cookbook? Also what foods did you start David with?
sweet potatoes, pears, apples and I’m going to try green beans soon!
I would love to have one of these for my baby! I have a garden year round and have been looking forward to getting to feed my sweet little one babyfood made at home!
Peaches pears and applesauce for sure!
Baby Girl just turned 3 months so we’re not to this point yet, but I can’t wait to start making her food. I love zucchini, so I hope she’s a fan, but I’m sure the sweet pears/fruit might win with her too. π persnicketyplates at gmail dot com
Though I am currently making food for for my 5 the baby, I think this gadget would give me some more flexilibty, allowing me to take part of the family meal, and puree it fast. I currently use my bullet, and pop the makings a into an adorable resqueeze bag.
In general my kids are fabulous eaters. We make them try new foods about a dozen times, and I have no qualms about adding in fruit to make the veggie medicine go down! Or a little garlic salt in preschool. My opinion, is that eating is much like reading and exercise: we model good habits and give our children ample opportunities to develop a taste for good things.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi! I have a 4-mo.-old little boy who is also a roly-poly BIG DUDE like your David! π We have just started introducing purees and I’ve been making his food, but have found it to be a pretty labor intensive process resulting in lots of dishes. I would LOVE to streamline the process with the Cuisinart baby food maker! I think I’d definitely try some of the basics like sweet potatoes, carrots and peas. But, I think I’d also try to sneak in some greens like spinach and kale and maybe mix them with either fruit or veggies like sweet potatoes, butternut squash or carrots to sweeten them up!
Definitely sweet potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Yum! Thanks for the giveaway offer! π
Sweet potatoes!
Apples and pears and anything else π
sweet potatoes!!
My 4 month old son Mason loves sweet potatoes! I can’t wait to try more fruit with him.
Love this! David is too cute!! I would love to make avocados, sweet potatoes, and apple sauce with this baby food maker!
I had heard about small appliances like these when I had my son but I never got one. I just dirtied up a ton of dishes to make my purΓ©es. I’d be so happy to have one of these with baby #2! I would use this to make squash, zucchini, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and maybe even asparagus! Those are just some of the veggies my son liked (still likes)!
i’ve been researching about what we’re going to do with my 3 month old when the time comes. baby food. real food. a mix. who knows! would love to try this out. i love sweet potatoes so i hope baby does too!
I’d love to make some yummy sweet potatoes, squash, all the fruits, and so much more for my first baby coming in November! Woohoo!
I love making baby food – peas, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, apples, pears, peaches! The Cuisinart Baby Food Maker would be perfect!

#youareagoodmama
I have 6 month old twin boys and have been trying to make all of our own food a well! It is fun and I am eager to start experimenting a little more. I would live to make spinach. I also want to try all the fresh summer fruits like peaches, plums and blueberries.
I have a 4 month old and we are just starting rice cereal (which she hates). I’ve tossed around the idea of making her baby food, and it looks like that little gadget would make it so much easier! If she’s anything like me she’ll have a sweet tooth, so I see lots of banana and strawberry purΓ©es in her future!
P.S. David is so stinkin cute!

My little one won’t be born until September, but I’ve really enjoyed following your journey with David and you’ve inspired me to try making my own baby food! I think I’d start with bananas, avocado, or sweet potato! Avila71313@cox.net
Sweet Potatoes and Apples!! lkarmington@aol.com
I am so glad that you did a post about making your own baby food!! My husband and I are both chefs and expecting our first child in 9 weeks. We are certain we want to make our own baby food, as of now our soon to be daughter LOVES all fruit mainly peaches!!! She has a party in my stomach every time I eat them!! So we will definitely purΓ©e peaches up for her in the future!!
He’s the cutest!
Can’t wait to try sweet potatos, avacado, and zucchini!!!
I would love the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker! My husband and I really want to make food for our little man this summer using produce from our garden. I’m thinking green beans, peas, and hoping our plum and apple trees provide fruit this year too.
Hmm … so many options! I’d love to make applesauce, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans … would love this for my baby who is due any day now!!
I’d love to make my own baby food! I would try carrots, sweet potatoes, and all kinds of fruit!
I did my own baby food with my first one and would love to do it again with my second one coming in 2 weeks. This would save me so much time! Would def start with sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash! π
I’m definitely planning to make my own baby food for my son in a few months and really been looking for a good food maker and this is the best I’ve seen! I hated feeding my daughter those nasty store bought foods when she was a baby. This post is sooo helpful! Thank you! I would definitely start with sweet potatoes, squash, and pears since my daughter LOVED those when she first started food :).
ooh any fruit really (and pears sound…pearfect ;)…after reading this post!)
hannah.schulte210@gmail.com
Would love to try this in the future. Kale, apples, and sweet potatoes would be fun to try!
I have a 9 week old baby girl and can’t wait until she can taste new foods! I’m excited to try my hand at making her apples, peaches, peas, and carrots. Email- lizrob85@yahoo.com
Ooh! I’ve never seen anything like this!! I don’t have any babies that need purees right now, but I’d love to try this out for our future babes! Sweet potatoes are usually our go-to first food, and this certainly would make quick work of those!
I would love this for my Liam! He is just making 5 months today, so baby food is starting soon! I would do sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, oh my the possibilities are endless! I have already tested out a similar method with the rice cooker and food chopper, but this seems so easy! My test products were sampled by me and then added to mashed potatoes, etc, so if he does not like something, you can always add it to your food for some extra veggies!!
Due with my first in just a few weeks and plan to make our own purΓ©es too! Plum was my favorite as a child, so I’ll surely see if my baby is a fan!
Thanks!
I can’t wait to make baby food for my little man! I will do some fun combos…like sweet potato and apple, squash and zucchini and any other fun combos! The more nutrients the better right!
As a first time mom-to-be (a December baby like David!), I would love anything that makes meal time easier! I have looked into making my own baby food and this would make things so much simpler! I’m not sure yet as to what baby would like, but I’m thinking I’d try peaches and peas first!
I make my daughter’s baby food as well! But I have been using my big food processor which I don’t feel gives me a great consistency, so I usually have to use a fork to mash it up more! I would venture out and do zucchini, squash, homemade applesauce, and green beans!
This is awesome. Have a little one on the way and would love this. I’d do pears, apples, sweet potatoes, squashβ¦the whole nine!!
Thank you for sharing this easy process! I have read some articles that sound so much more involved and can’t wait to try it now! I would love to hear more about your veggie and fruit puree combos!
My baby boy is 7 months old and we just started him on baby food a month ago (he is quite a chunk as well!). So far his fav are sweet potatoes and peas – I want to try making my own bc already it’s adding up buying from the store :-0
I have a 5 month old baby boy and it has been so much fun reading your posts since I know I will be experiencing what you are in the next couple months. You give me a preview! π We are just starting on solids and am excited to start making his food – I’d love to give kale a try!
I’d love to try this! Expecting in December. We have an almost 2 year old now. I’d love to try any veggie, and throw an apple in there to make the kiddos like it!
I would love to win this all-in-one baby food system. I didn’t have anything like this with our first and I know it would make life a lot easier to have this for our son (now 4months old). I’ll use this for introducing all veggies and fruits– squash, sweet potatoes, apples, etc.
I’d be willing to try any fruits and veggies!
Mango!
Love your blog so much – what a beautiful, precious family!!
I would love this for my baby girl who is due in a matter of days! I would use it for many fruits and veggies- sweet potatoes, apples, pears, green beans, etc.
I did this for my older 2. I roasted the veggies, but still super easy and fun. My 3rd refused solid food until he was 9 months and my youngest refused until she was 10 months. And trust me I tried. We went straight to chunky stuff. Basically just cut up whatever the rest of the family was eating. It was so odd to completely skip the puree stage for both of them.
Apples, carrots, avocado, zucchini! David is simply precious!
My son is almost 5 months and I’m planning to make his baby food. I’m hoping to start in the next week or two with some veggies and fruits like peas, green beans, apples, bananas etc. I am also wanting to try some baby oatmeal. I am planning to use a food processor, but I can definitely see how this baby food maker would really streamline the whole process. Hoping to win…
My baby girl is LOVING fresh peaches and sweet potatoes! Making her food is really fun. This cuisinart would make it so easy!
I’m expecting a baby soon and I would love to make squash for her! One of my favorites growing up!
I am 4 months pregnant with our second child, and this would make making homemade baby food so much easier, than the crazy process I used with our first!!
team.butler@hotmail.com
I would love to try bananas and pears!! I think it would be great for all veggies!
I’m expecting my first baby (girl!) in October. I plan to make her baby food when the time comes and would love to win this!
I can’t wait until my son is old enough that I can make him some baby food! I would like to try making apples, squash, carrots, potatoes and more!
I would love to try sweet potatoes, peaches, peas, squash and pears. I wasn’t able to make baby food for my 2year old, but I would love to try for my 8 month old.
Wow, what a great device. So nice that it does it all! I bet this is huge time saver!
http://palsywalsyblog.blogspot.ca/
Homemade apple sauce is the best! I would love one of these for my little guy ; )
I’d love to try it all, I’m also interested in making my own baby food for this little girl!
I’d use if for everything, fruits and veggies and combos. I have 2 kids and this would be some helpful and so much cheaper!
Id love to get away from the store bought baby foods and make my own for my 8 month old son Jaxon Thomas. He really loves bananas and apples with rice cereal. I’d love to try to make my own. So many different foods and combos! Gabriellewalsh84@gmail.com
We’re expecting any day now, so my wife and I are brand new to baby food! Some of the foods we’re looking forward to feeding our little one are foods we love ourselves: avocado, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, and bananas are just a few!
Peas, carrots, apples and bananas!
I would love to make my own baby food! Expecting my first any day! π
I would probably try to make a little bit of everything. The cuisinart baby food maker makes it look so easy especially when time is limited!
That baby food maker is genius! Just had baby #5 10 days ago and somehow after all these years/children I missed out on this whole baby food maker phenomenon. I made all of #4’s food but just in the blender with lots of messiness. I always try lots of veggies first because I know once I introduce fruit that’s all they will want!
I love all things cuisinart! Having a newborn, I look forward to making my own baby food – so much cheaper, and you know exactly what your child is eating. This would make it so much easier!
Eliorahgr[at]gmail[dot]com
Love this post! My little girl is up to 3 times a day in solids, and we have our pampered chef steamer and baby bullet for all her fruits and veggies, but this cuisnart gadget sounds a lot easier to manage!
I also love those Ice cube trays you placed the purees in. I’ve been looking for some to store our purees as well, and I think we’ve found the perfect trays thanks to you!
Happy eats to David!

I’d love to make it with sweet potatoes!
Sweet peas and apples!!!
cnalderma@gmail.com
I love making my daughters baby food! I roast things a lot because it brings out the natural sweetness of fruits and veggies but also retains all of the nutrients. We are also using seasoning and spices now (no salt!). Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice with baked apples and baked bananas is a fave!
I would love to win this! I think I would try a bunch of the green veggies like green beans and peas since I haven’t found a good way to cook and puree them yet so my son doesn’t do the disgusted shudder! π
I would probably do all veggies. broccoli and carrots would probably be my first
wtiger9 at bellsouth dot net
Thank you so much for this post – I had no idea such a product existed!! I own a Cuisinart food processor, and I love it so much! I think I need to have this one for baby! I am due to have my first baby any day now, so I will look forward to making sweet potatoes and green beans for my little girl!
I would make sweet potatoes galore… As that seemed to be my Elena’s favorite.
A.charles09@hotmail.com
Would love to make pears and carrots in the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker!!
This looks fun and easy. I would start with berries, apples, pears, carrots, and broccoli.
Too cute! I would love to try apples, pears and butternut squash.
I would love to be able to make homemade purΓ©es! My two month old is a few months away but I’d start with sweet potatoes and squash!
That is amazing! Currently pregnant with baby #4. And they didn’t have these cool gadgets with my previous kiddos. I still would make my own. Seam the veggies or fruit, then put the super hot food into a bowl add a little water, then take my immersion hand held blender, pour into IKEA ice cube trays. This Cuisinart seems so much more efficient! Would love it! Love your blog btw!
I would love to make some applesauce or even some veggies!
I would love to try this out with all kinds of fruits and veggies! It would be great timing too as my twin girls are 5 months and will be getting ready for food soon π
I would love to try it with sweet potatoes and peas.
I would love to win this! My first son ate mostly jarred food because I didn’t know how easy it was to make food for him. I made all of the food for my middle son using my food processor, and you are totally right, a lot of clean up. I planned on making it for my third son (just 3 months on Sunday) but my Mom accidentally dropped and broke the bowl to my food processor. So it would be great to win this!
So far for my 7 month old I’ve made squash, avacado and strawberry/banana purees, but I’d love to use your new gadget and also make other stuff like sweet potatoes and broccoli! Yum!!
Oooooo, sweet potatoes with a little cinnamon!!!
I would love to make sweet potatoes or applesauce!
We aren’t doing purees but when I was considering it, my mom told me not to buy anything fancy, I could just use my blender for the actual chopping But having it all in one place – steam & then chop! – is worth the extra gadget, I’d say!! Anything that eliminates extra dishes or an extra step is solid gold in mama’s book! Good thinkin’ Cuisinart.
Great post! I just started making homemade baby food myself. This would make the process much easier! I would make all sorts of purees including sweet potatoes, squash, pears, apple sauce, and carrots.
So cute! I hadn’t thought of adding one to my registry, but now maybe I should!
I can’t wait to make loads of combinations, but I’m particularly interested in fruit/veggie ones…fruit to disguise the taste of great veggies like kale!
Hi Kate,
I wrote to you awhile back when I was having difficulty getting pregnant. Welllll now I’m 4 months pregnant and very excited. I can’t wait to make my own baby food. I’d love to try avocados, peaches, carrots, and plums!
I follow your blog daily, and have been hoping you would post about this! Thanks for sharing.
Some of my ideas would include:
Bananas, avocado, kale, blueberries!
This would be a great win for me and baby #1 on the way!
Thanks! – God Bless
Lianne
I would love to try sweet potatoes and also pumpkin in the fall!
I think spinach and apples would sound amazing together! What a handy little tool to have in the kitchen!
My baby is two months old and I am so excited for him to be old enough to start eating “solids”. I can’t wait to have him try bananas and avocados… really any sort of solid. It is so much fun to see a baby try new things. Their reactions are the BEST!
I’m having my first baby in the fall and am really looking forward to making my own baby food when the time comes. I love my Cuisinart food processor and blender and wasn’t even aware they had a baby version! Since I have a sweet tooth I would definitely try fruits first in it.
I have made baby food several times and would definitely enjoy using this for peas, sweet potatoes, squash, green beans and apples!
My 7 month old is a huge fan of butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes and green beans. Getting ready to do another “round” of food making this weekend. Plan to try zucchini (inspired by you), blueberries, pears, peaches and whatever else the Farmers Market has! The worst thing to clean HAS to be the trays-I just use standard ice cube trays.
Hi Kate !
I have been a blog reader for 3 years , and I had a little girl almost 2 weeks ago.
I’d love to make Miss Ansley Kate some pears , kiwi, root veggies when it’s time to start foods.
I was a very healthy eater as a child and can’t wait to see her enjoy food.
Allisue22@yahoo.com
Thanks
Allison
Anything and everything! My husband isn’t a big veggie eater, so I’m hoping to start our little one off right and sneak veggies in! Love your blog and it’s exciting to follow your journey in motherhood π
I would use Peaches, Kale, Spinach, Berries and Asparagus! I love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
chaile.allen@gmail.com
I love making my baby girl’s food! This would make it so much easier! She is a huge pear fan as well. =)
Peaches! Carrots! Peas! Pears! To many to list! amtut0905(at)gmail.com
I’d love to try it with carrots! I always have a hard time getting them cooked enough to be smooth when blended!
I have a 6 week old, but when he is older I can’t wait to make him applesauce!
I would like to try carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and pears for sure!!! My girls loves all these things.
He is your husband’s mini-me! I can’t believe how much he’s grown! I swear it was just yesterday that you announced to blog world that he was on the way! π
I don’t have a baby yet, but when I do {hopefully soon}, I definitely want to make my own baby food. I’m going to favorite this post on my bloglovin’ so I can definitely add this awesome gadget and other suggested tools to my registry! I would think carrots and sweet potatoes, being as sweet as they are, would be a favorite for any baby and will go on my list of foods to make one day! My email is klm61210{at}yahoo{dot}com.
sweet potatoes!
We started off with rice cereal and pureed carrots. Next on our try list is green beans and peas and the cuisinart baby food maker would be perfect to use. π cardiganfiend(at)gmail.com
Has David been generally decreasing the amount of breastmilk/formula he drinks now that he’s on solids? I just recently started with my son and that’s the part I’m curious about since it seems like my son will eat everything. LoL
~ Phoebe
Carrots and applesauce!! sniogkristin@yahoo.com
I would make a mixture of fruits and vegetables, such as apples and sweet potatoes or green beans and pears!
It really looks like a breeze to use! I’d love to try using carrots and apples with it!
I would love to try apples, strawberries and sweet potatoes! My baby girl is only two weeks old today, but I know that this is the route I wanna take! Why buy it when you can make it?? Thanks for the chance. He’s getting so big and handsome!
I would love to make squash, sweet potatos, pretty much anything actually.
I would love to try this machine out. Annie just loves her carrots and apples. I would love to see if she would prefer the homemade vs the store bought!!
I would love to try some mango, peaches, avocado, and squash!
I would love to make my own carrots. My little one LOVES store bought ones so I would like to try homemade with him π
I made my sons baby food from 4 months-9 months when he started to grab small pieces of food. I LOVED making baby food–I felt like I was doing something great for him since I didn’t get to nurse as long as I would have liked. Our favorites were sweet potatoes, squash, chicken (I had to mix it with other stuff or he gagged) green beans and peas! π
Oh my goodness, this would be too perfect! We are going to start or almost 5 month old daughter on veggies and fruits soon and I’d love to make my own this time! I tried with our son, but as you pointed out, there’s a lot of cleanup for such a small amount of food!
I can’t wait to see what she loves eating!
I have a 4 month old and I am excited to try to start making my own baby foods pretty soon! I would like to start with sweet potato and squash. I also hope she loves fruit and will want to try apples, bananas, and pears!
I have a 7 month old son and this would be so perfect. We’ve been using store bought now because I don’t have a lot of time to devote to making my own. I hope I win!
I didn’t even know they made such a thing! It seems like a great way to start your kids off with healthy eating habits. I love it! How fun would it be to be able to experiment with mixing flavors…custom made baby food! I would do anything but bananas. They look like melted flesh :o) I’d likely put any fruit and veggie in there at least once.

Thanks!
My daughter just turned 6 months so we will be starting veggies this weekend! I did make sweet potatoes for her the old fashioned way but I would LOVE to have the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker to make her zucchini, squash, pears and apples! Plus I can’t wait to experiment with blends as she gets older.
I’m a first time “older mom” & would live to try the natural way of food processing, this machine looks awesome!
Sweet potatoes for sure!
Carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples! Would love to try pears too! π
ashleyebranscum@gmail.com
I made all my daughter’s baby food in a food processor and this would make it soooo much simpler. She loved sweet potatoes, peas, and green beans. This would make applesauce a breeze! I would love to win and be ready for number 2!
Carrots and sweet potatoes! Cronin dot Amanda at yahoo dot com
This product looks amazing. Our little one is due in the next couple of weeks. I haven’t done tons of research on different baby food recipes but I have already decided that I want to make food for our little guy.
We eat tons of fruits and veggies so I expect that we will incorporate the types of veggies and fruits we normally eat into his diet.
I’d love to try organic white sweet potatoes!
The pears look delish and sweet potatoes of course!
I tried making baby food for my daughter when she was little and it never really worked out. I’m pregnant now with a boy and I would love to make baby food for him, especially if this is a more streamlined method! I would try many fruits and veg – sweet potato, peas, carrots, apples, prunes, peaches, etc.
Jack will be starting baby purΓ©es in 2 months. We are looking forward to beginning with avocado!
I would love to make squash and sweet potatoes!
Sweet potatoes, squash and apples (home-made applesauce!)
This is so encouraging! I was on the fence about making our own food until now! I’d be using it for every vegetable and fruit. Hopefully he won’t be a picky eater!
avocado, sweet potatoes and fruits!
Would love to try green beans as soon as my 4 month old is ready! My oldest loved them.
I didn’t make baby food with my first but would love try with my 2nd! Ideas: carrots, squash, peas…
Right now my 10 month old really likes sweet potatoes and corn. Cmcrandell @Gmail. Com (nospaces)
I am going to be a first time mom in November and am really looking forward to making my little one home made baby food. I’m excited to try it all!
This would be awesome for my 5 months old. I could feed him broccoli and sweet potato green beans apricots peaches and other yummies from the garden .
I’m not sure what I’ll be making yet- I’ll have to wait and see what baby likes once she finally arrives! Maybe some peas, carrots or pears!
I would love to puree berries and serve somewhat frozen for teething!! I know you can do whole frozen berries in a mesh teether, but I am thinking more like baby sorbet! π Also to try steaming a mix of veggies (I’m betting some of those disliked could be diguised)
My daughter loves apples mixed with sweet potatoes..yum!
I made all the food my daughter ate up until we started meats. The meats I made were… gross. I’d love to have an all in one system! My personal favorite mix for her was once we got over the fear of strawberries. I mixed apples, strawberries, and blue berries. Yum!
I have a SERIOUS mango obsession, and I would 100% try to pass along my obsession π I also really love watermelon, but that would turn into water, not puree probably.
I can’t wait to make my own baby food! Looking forward to using my garden fresh veggies (peas, carrots and sweet potatoes). Also applesauce and bananas!!
I didn’t have the Cuisinart for my son. Now that I am expecting again, that would be a great tool to have! I would use it for all of the veggies for sure…sweet potatoes, butternut squash, peas, green beans, carrots and spinach!
I would love to make purees from my garden veggies- especially green beans!
We can’t wait to try avocados and any fruit! It would be nice to save time by cleaning only one thing!
This sounds like a great tool. I’d love to make foods that are in season – like plums, pears, cantaloupe, peas, green beans. I’m getting hungry thinking about it.
I would love to try sweet potatoes or carrots in it for my son!
Allyson.roberts08 (at) gmail (dot) com
This looks so much more convenient than my past 4-pans-in-the-oven-two-pots-on-the-stove-followed-by-blender method of making baby food for my daughter. With baby #2 (a boy!) due in 4 weeks, this would make the food making process a breeze! I really enjoyed making homemade baby food and am looking forward to it again. My favorite food to make was pumpkin/apple oatmeal, which my daughter absolutely loved. Hoping my little guy loves it as much, too!
Not sure if you’ve seen this website at all but I lived on it for creative combinations: http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/
I don’t have kids yet, but it may come in handy in the future. I could also give it away as a gift. I would use it to make sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans and apple sauce. It looks like an awesome little gadget. π
Since the farmer’s market is just brimming with awesome stuff, it would be hard to pick just one. I think that zucchini, summer squash, and spinach are delicious myself.
Oh, sweet potatoes and butternut squash are a.ways go-tos, but I’d do some combinations of fruit and veggies and even some spices π
I would love this to make sweet potatoes, berries, apples, and squash!
I just started my venture into baby food making. My daughter is 6 months old and we are starting with sweet potatoes tonight! I’m so thrilled to watch her try new foods. It’s incredible to watch their little minds spin as they process new things. It has been my favorite part of motherhood so far. This would make the process so much easier! Thanks for this opportunity. π
Apple’s, avocado, strawberry carrots
Sweet potatoes! I would love to make my baby food!
I’d love to try squash! We have a garden full right now.
I have 5 month old twins & would love to try this!
Sweet potatoes and pears!
I would Love to make anything in this for my baby girl! She especially loves carrots though! π Sarah.k.thomas85@gmail.com
I am expecting baby #3, probably my 3rd boy lol! I never did feed my other 2 homemade baby food which idk why I am a stay at home mom and just thought buying was better. Now, I have been researching it and it’s cheaper & healthier, you know exactly what’s in it and when it’s made! Now since both my boys are older in elementary school I’m basically starting over again. I would love this, making it would seem fun. Such as bananas, sweet potatoes, squash…. And more π kudos to you, you seem so fun!
I also forgot my email address oops ….
Samantha.Anderson04@gmail.com
I would love to try the pears! (and carrots, banana, spinach, kale, apples, sweet potato….)
Peas, carrots, squash, everything really. I’m due with our first child in September and I’m already looking forward to making baby food for her.
My daughter just turned six months old, so I would love to try this on a bunch of different veggies and fruits. I love peaches and I hope she will too. I’d also love to try green beans and sugar snap peas.
Oh I’m pregnant with my second and would love to try making my own baby food this go around!
The only puree I’ve made was pumpkin last fall. And baby wasn’t a fan. haha
Sweet potatoes!
Lisa-Leonard at outlook.com
Please change the at to @, just don’t want the skimmers to easily spam my address π
I am due any day and I plan on making homemade baby food. This steamer would be perfect! I’ve heard to start with veggies, then fruit. Can’t wait!
Sweet potatoes, squash, carrots & green beans!
Wholesomebabyfood.com is a great website full of baby puree recipes. It was very helpful to me. Also weelicious.com has wonderful recipes. Some of my family members and friends thought I was crazy for taking the time to make all of my sons baby food but I felt comfort in knowing exActly what he was eating and that it was fresh and hadn’t been sitting on a grocery store shelf for a month.
I would love to make spinach and cauliflower purees. I am sneaky and hide veggies in mac n’ cheese and chicken nuggets by using purees.
I’m due 9/20/14 with our first. I’m so excited to be able to make our own baby food for her. I’ve been researching baby food cookbooks and can’t wait to make carrots, fruits, and sweet potatoes for her!
we (me n my 7 mo) love avocado pear and blueberry pear combination..:)
Would love to make sweet potatoes, carrots, peaches and pears!
This would be great! First things I would want to try – zucchini and sweet potatoes and green beans, just because those are my favorite and I ate them a lot when my pregnancy, so maybe the little guy will like them too π
stephaniegraingerbrown@gmail.com
Carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, everything! Looks so easy!
cndunlevy@gmail.com
Sweet potatoes and squash!!
This is a great invention! My daughter is now 10 months old and I made all of her baby food. It was definitely a process and required a lot of dish washing, so this would definitely cut down on time. I would still love to use this for applesauce and other purees that she will still eat.
We are due in November and can’t wait to make our own baby food! Sweet potatoes would be much easier in there, but I think any veggies would be great!
I would love to make fruit/veggie mixtures for our soon to arrive lil man! We want him to grow up loving fresh, healthy foods too! Loved your post!
I loved making food for my son! http://www.wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com is a great resource! They have recipes for everything and divide them into the food stages also!
Wow, this is so much more convenient than the steam veggies-then-transfer-to-food-processer system! Would love this to make green beans, sweet potato, etc. etc.
i’d love a cuisineart baby and i’d use all types of fruits and veggies – probably carrots mostly since i don’t like them but want my twins to have better eye sight than me π
sunnysideshlee@live.com
all fruit and veggies are great, specially homemade ones!
lcbaldridge@yahoo.com
Brooke loves peaches, bananas and raspberries mixed together!
I love that it steams too! So great! I want to try making all sorts of baby food but I must say applesauce for sure tops my list of foods to try!
I just found out I’m expecting #4, so this would be such a huge help! I would puree anything we get from our garden – pears, watermelon, berries, sweet potatoes, carrots. Endless possibilities! Thanks for the opportunity π
I would love to win it! I would steam carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and beets.
Currently am TTC #1, but my sis is pregnant and I think she would love this to make food of any kind!
I have a 3 month old and would love to begin making his food. Seems super easy for any fruits or veggies!
Avacado and banana…that’s my son’s fav!
My little girl is 5 months old! I am starting her on baby food at 6 so I was excited to see your post for making it! I can’t wait to try sweet potatoes they are my favorite and any fruits and veggies π I want her to love them!
I love that this steams and purΓ©es in one machine!! I would make everything under the sun… Sweet potatoes, peas, beets, apples, pears, and so on! BTW… David is great with his hashtags!! #hemusthavelearnedfromthebest
I didn’t make food for my first two children. My third is ready to start on cereals and I have been looking into the Baby Bullet, but, unlike this Cuisinart, it does not have the built-in steamer. I like the ease of the 2-in-1 gadgets!
I would love to puree some sweet potatoes and carrots! sivadirb@yahoo.com
I LOVE that this does everything. I would try carrots, sweet taters and the list goes on and on. Thanks!
I love to make my baby organic baby food too! Today I made her some peas with my food processor. I just cooked organic frozen peas and then put them in my mini food processor. I plan on trying green beans next.
I love this! I have been wanting to introduce asparagus and greens (spinach/kale), this would make it so easy!
I would love to try making a banana, pear, and peach puree mix. I have seen this in the store bought form but would love to try it out myself!
I would love to make….anything! My little guy is 8 1/2 months and loves just about everything, but we haven’t tried zucchini! [jessica.romano3@gmail.com]
I am due with my first child in September and love the idea of making my own baby food. I would love to do peaches!
I just started trying to make my own baby food for our first-born son, Hunter, last night. He is four months old. We haven’t fed it to him yet, but our pediatrician gave us the go ahead on Friday.
I love that the Cuisineart can steam and puree at the same time!
I would probably make apples, pears, and bananas, for sure. They seem to be staples in our house π
I would love to try it out on all kinds of veggies such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. I am a very picky eater and don’t tend to cook meals with foods i don’t normally eat (most veggies). This would allow me to give my baby the nutrients he needs and a variety of foods that I would not normally cook (or know how to for that much). My husband has already joked around with me that I will need to learn and taste test myself. He eats everything and wants our child to do the same. LOL
My little girl is only 10 weeks old, but I would love to make her baby food in the future! This Cuisinart product looks AWESOME! Sweet potatoes, carrots, avocados are some great foods that I would like to try! π
Ooh! I have an almost 4 month old (she was a st. Paddy’s day baby!), and I’m starting to collect all sorts of ideas for making my own baby food. I didn’t even know something like the cuisinart baby food maker existed!! Would love to try it out!! Annieflash@gmail.com
I would love to make some tropical blends in this! My four-month-old may have nipped at my mango popsicle one day and let’s just say I think she liked it. I’m hoping to blend up some mango, pineapple, and banana purees once we’ve established veggies.
I am so excited to start making baby food. My little one is almost 5 months so it is just around the corner! I would love to make fresh squash from our neighbors’ garden! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
Sweet Potatoes, Peaches, Carrots, and other fruits and vegetables that are in season at the farmers’ market.
Oh, forgot to mention what I want to try–I think asparagus would be good and healthy! And definitely sweet potatoes. Annieflash@gmail.com
I’d like to try sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, avocado, pears – you name it! My little guy just turned 3 months, so I have awhile, but I love the idea of this machine, since I start a new job in a month and won’t have as much time. Thinking if I can simplify the process I won’t get frustrated and default to store bought food. Mdtraugott@yahoo.com
I would love to win the cuisinart! My baby just turned 6 months this past 18 June and we will be starting solids soon. I was planning on starting with Avocados, sweet potato, carrots, and good ‘ole banana! π
I made all of my first two childrens purees and enjoyed the process and the outcome but got discouraged with the clean up in our tiny kitchen. We are now expecting twin boys in the fall and since I will be making fruits and veggies for two at once I have been thinking a system like this would be well worth it, especially for those harder to steam items like zuccini, green beans, and pumpkin π Thanks for the chance to win Kate! tiffany.milne@gmail.com
Oh, I would love to make some strawberry banana mixups!
OMG!!!! My munchkin LOVES apples and sweet potatoes combined. I would LOVE to have this and make her some yummy homemade purees.
I would totally make pears too!
Pears and sweet potatoes!
I love the idea of making my own baby food for my little man in a couple of months (he’s 3 months now). So healthy, simple, and cheap! I would love to make sweet potatoes, and all sorts of fruits! Thanks!
I would love to try sweet potatoes! My little is about 3 months and I can’t wait to start feeding her real food!
I’m getting ready to have my fourth child, and this would make life so much easier! I love to make carrot and apple purees for my little one.
Loved this post! My son is just a few weeks older than yours and I have been buying store bought baby food and oh my goodness is it a pain. I have been wanting to make my own at home but wasn’t sure I would have the time or patience. The Cusinart Baby looks amazing!!! Totally want to try it! So far my son loves sweet potatoes, prunes, and peas…but I would love to get a little more creative and branch out with some of the foods we are eating for dinner.
I am currently 3 months pregnant and this would be a great item to have to make baby food when the time comes! I would love to try any kind of vegetables, based on what is in season. I think that sweet potatoes would be particularly delicious!
We are expecting our first this November! I have been planning to make my own baby food when the time comes – I would try all sorts of fruits and veggies and then narrow it down, depending on baby π
I buy the organic baby food as I got too lazy to make it after starting, but just wanted to say David is SO CUTE! Dying over those pictures!
I love the smell of banana baby food. Weird I know. I’m expecting baby #3 so anything that would make life easier is a win! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d like to try veggies like spinach and squash…..
Sweet potatoes!
Green beans, squash, any vegetable out of our garden.
I am pregnant with my first child and have decided to make my own baby food, as well. I cannot wait to try each and every kind of fruit and vegetable to raise my baby strong and healthy! This Cuisinart Baby Food Maker would be a lifesaver – and a costsaver!
Sweet potato & carrot!
My daughter is 11yrs old now, so I would not be needing this, but would have loved to of had one when she was a baby! Would be a great gift for my friend who just found out she is expecting:)
Apples, strawberries, blueberries, and squash would be good! Also deff sweet potato’s!!!
I can’t wait to make homemade food for our little one! We’ll definitely be trying sweet potatoes, pears, bananas, and carrots.
I would totally make peas, spinach, butternut squash, and sweet potatoe for my baby! This looks like a great baby food maker!
I would love to win a cusinart baby for my little one! I do the exact same tHing you were doing, steam the veggies in my rice cooker and then blend it in my food processor. I steam beans, cauliflower and carrots. I would love to try peas, pears and zucchini!
Email- sunarulz@gmail.com
Ps-David is adorable!
This would be a great future item to have when we have our first – I have heard apple and carrot is a great combo!
I would love to make more veggie options. My boy doesn’t like zucchini either, but he will eat the pouches. I would make them with other veggies and fruits such as peas and pears to make the taste bearable. This looks like an amazing appliance even as they get older.
My little dude Cameron just turned 5 months and I want to start making food soon. I would love to try the cuisinart baby food maker. And I know the “tremble of disgust” you speak of. The first food I tried for Cameron was an Earths Best Squash. He did the whole body shiver in disgust for me!
My baby shall be here in December and would love to make our own baby food! This looks like a great venue to do that!
I would love to try Pear, Banana, Strawberry! Mom might even have to eat some of that π
This is so great! I would LOVE one of these for my 5-month-old baby girl… I’m just starting to plan for her introduction to the world of “real” food. Sweet potatoes are a must, along with all the other yummy veggies and fruits that are out there… I’m not sure there’s any of them I wouldn’t eat, so she’s going to be exposed to as many as I can find! (Dad is a pretty picky eater, so I need to get her started on everything early!)
Thanks for the review of this appliance – I hadn’t seen this yet! It’s definitely on the wish list now!
Kim
Ooh, we have a little girl arriving this Oct or Nov and I’ve alraedy been talking about making her baby food. I would try spinach, sweet potatoes, squash, and lots of fruits! This would be so much fun to try!! I definitely need to get that ice cube tray; so smart!
I would love to make baby food for my grandson. We have a garden growing, so the homegrown vegetables would be great! Peas, squash, zucchini….yum!
sweet potatoes and green beans!
My little one had the “tremble of disgust” at avocados. I still can’t bring myself to make her try them again!
I love the idea of using the Cusinart Baby for our newest one, it won’t be long before she’s trying baby food and using it to fill the Squooshi pouches with strawberry applesauce for our 1 year old!
PEARS.
Sweet potatoes! Yum!
I would LOVE to try making my own baby food when my little arrives in November! I’m thinking lots of fruits: strawberries, kiwis, bananas, and veggies: sweet potatoes & carrots! This makes it look much less daunting π
pears and apple sauce! salleythompson@gmail.com
I would love this. I want to make my little guy anything from fresh fruits and veggies. We have a garden planted so would try using veggies from there when they are ready..carrots, zucchini, squash, peas, green beans. The whole process and clean-up is overwhelming to me because we are always on the go!
I’m interested in the less-mess version- thanks for posting a giveaway! My baby boy (two days older than David) loves sweet potatoes and prunes… wanting to let him try food variations mixing in kale, avocado, banana, etc!
I can’t wait to start making baby food! I think the first foods I try will be sweet potatoes and carrots for veggies and peaches or pears for fruit.
Apples, strawberries, carrots and pears!
What veggies would I NOT make with it!? My little guy is just about a month behind yours and almost ready to eat what the family is eating.csnnot wait to get some good local summer veggies in my guy!
I am 7 months pregnant, and all I want to eat is fruit of any kind! So naturally, I am excited to introduce our little one to my favorites. Your pear puree sounds pretty great, and I think a combo of bananas and berries would be fantastic. And, of course, sweet potatoes are a must!
Sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, and pears! Katieb0103@hotmail.com
Oh I would LOVE this!! I made my first son’s food with my blender – this would be fantastic for my three month-old son in a few months! I loved making sweet potatoes and squash the best before – I bet it will be the same now, though I’m curious how it handles green beans!!
My kids are 7 & 5 and I still puree veggies for sneaking into their diet. Jessica Seinfelds Deceptively Delicious cookbook is a must for those with picky eaters!!!
I really want to try that pear puree, that sounds refreshing on a hot summer day!
shaina.ditch@yahoo.com
I would LOVE to make apples and sweet potatoes with this little thing. I didn’t get to make baby food with my 1st daughter because we were on WIC and I couldn’t afford too many fresh veggies. This time, I’d love to give it a go with my 2nd daughter π We recently started stocking up on fresh stuff at the farmers’ market in town. (amy.pajewski@gmail.com)
I would love to use this for sweet potatoes and carrots!
This seems like the best invention in a long time! Mango would be delicious!
Sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, pears- the possibilities seem endless!
I would love to win! Our first baby is due any day now, and I have been looking into making baby food once he/she is ready for it. I’m looking forward to combining fruits and veggies for a variety of flavors for baby to experience.
liz(dot)beckwith(at)gmail(dot)com
I would try anything!!! I would start with the basics like pears and sweet potatoes. Yummy!
Pears, peaches, bananas, green beans. carrots and so much more!!
I would love to make Apples, pears, squash, peas, green beans and peaches with the baby food maker for my 8 month old! It is so fun to me that I get to make his food!
I would try mangos and guavas!
I made baby food with my Brezza 3 years ago when this was all kind of “new”. There were some things that worked really well (pears) and some things that were a disaster (peas). I blogged about it here:
http://stroutman.blogspot.com/2011/09/mama-monday-baby-brezza-review.html?m=1
I found that zucchini was really easy to mix with fruits because it is so mild. One thing that was kind of a game changer for me was realizing the benefit of store bought organic applesauce. I mixed it in with almost everything! Making the food is time-consuming, so if you can cut a corner with a product that is already purΓ©ed, it really helps! And once he can have dairy, our other go-to was a big tub of stony field vanilla yogurt to mix with stuff she didn’t like. Enjoy! I will be starting the food journey again this fall;)
So fun! & the process seems much less complicated and less intimidating doing it all in one machine. Greens beans would be at the top of my list to try!
I would love to try some tropical fruits…maybe pineapple and mango? Why not experiment a little! π
This gadget looks amazing! I’ll be starting to make baby food for my twins in another month or so, and the ease of steaming and pureeing in one machine would be so convenient! I’ll be using local organic veggies from the farmers market and can’t wait to make sweet potato and butternut squash! Hopefully they’ll like them as much as their mamma does!
I love your baby posts! My son was born the day after David & we’re getting ready to start solids. I want to make my own baby food, too, & this would be wonderful! Our doctor recommended starting with green veggies first, & we’re planning to start with peas so he gets a green veggie with a little sweetness.
I’m looking forward to making butternut squash for our daughter – it’s one of my favorites and I hope she loves it as well!
I would love this for my 6 month old! That would be so easy to make apples, carrots, peas, and green beans!
Root vegetables! I would love to try this! Thank you for the giveaway!
I would love to make peaches, my little dude LOVES them. Also peas…what a strange kid:) Good Thing I love him to pieces!
Carrots, Zuccini, Apples, Peas!!!
Email: daynite21@att.net
Just started cereal and veggies for my 5.5 month old. Would love to try pears next! Email is lindsay_lennon@yahoo.com
I would LOVE to make my own baby food! My little lady just started with Rice Cereal and I’m plotting our next steps. I would love to use the delicious organic produce that my family enjoys–why should she have to have the canned stuff! I think it would make the feeding process so much fun!
Would love to use this to make sweet potatoes and apples, plums and bananas, lots of yummy combinations!
I can’t wait to try peaches, plums, and spinach!
I would do all types of fruit but add veggies to them too so he’s getting more veggies in!
callywog@hotmail.com
I love making baby food! I would probably make pears, apricots, peaches, and all kinds of squash, yum!
I love the idea of making your own – less processed foods! Sweet potatoes and apples are favorites!
I would love to have a Cuisinart Baby Food Maker! My little girl is about to turn 5 months old, so we will be starting some fruits and veggies soon. I’m not sure what I’ll make to begin with…but the pears you mentioned sounded like most babies would like them.
I would love to try sweet potatoes, kale and cherries! All of it!!
Due in September with my 4th. Would love this.
I love that the machine is a “one stop shop!” Perfect for a working mama who still wants to make time for homemade baby food! Would love to make carrots, green beans and sweet potatoes! Sarve333@hotmail.com
Oh goodness, where to begin? My 5 1/2 month old little girl, Henley Hope, will be starting solids soon. I’d love to be able to make her sweet potatoes, green beans, avocado (just pureed not cooked), pears, carrots, and many other things too! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
I can not wait until my son is ready to start eating baby good. He’s only three months and we already using rice cereal to add into his formula because he isn’t staying full with just the formula any more. I can’t wait to see his reaction to sweet potatoes and apples even green beans π I was hoping to make my own baby food as well. Hopefully I’ll be able to, I just need to find the time to make it π
That looks so handy. We are having our first baby in November, and plan on making her food. I have heard that avocado is a wonderful food to start with.
I’m due in December and totally want to make our own baby food when the time comes!!! This would be perfect! π
With my first son I made all his baby food. I used the ziploc steaming bags and a regular food processor. I used those ice cube trays, and they worked okay, but when he got older I was given an Infantino Squeeze Station to use to make my own pouches. I love it!!
It is perfect for on the go feeding, and is way less messy than a bowl of food (even when I was just squeezing the pouch into the spoon)!
His favorite foods were mixes. He enjoyed apples and sweet potatoes (sometimes with cinnamon), pears and peas, and bananas and squash.
I can’t wait to make food again for my second son (4 weeks old today!). It really is fun!
I have a 6.5 month old boy who i’ve been making baby food for! π He is not a fan of peas π This tool would help so much in continuing to make purees for my son — I would make pears + squash! π David looks like a sweetie π
I’m 25 weeks pregnant and would LOVE to win the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker! I’ve also been looking at options to prepare baby food for our little guy.
I’m hoping to make Bananas, Pears, Apples and Sweet Potatoes!
<3 David. Such a cutie!!!
Carrots π
Oh man, with our second baby due in just weeks, this would be incredible! I would love to make fresh veggies for my new babe. Especially veggies that are in season and local. Of course, yummy fruits as well.
Being a Mom is so fun!
I would like to make some hummus
I’d love it for butternut squash and other veggies like that! What I neat idea. I didn’t know such a thing existed!
Peaches sounds yummy, but messy π
ccwilkinson8@gmail.com
I would love to try apples and sweet potatoes! This seems so easy and would make life so much easier when preparing new baby food for my little one!
I would make some fun yogurt/fruit mixes.

I love the idea of this! I would try everything possible…sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, apples, bananas. Surely almost everything works!
This is a complete dream come true…! Take THAT, pricey Vitamix π There are way too many things I would make with this dream gadget–this lil beauty and my CSA box are going to have a ball! My mom made all of my baby food from scratch without any cool things like this and, while I respect the labor of love it was for her, I would love to follow in her footsteps–just a little more high-tech π Thanks mom and thanks Cuisinart!
I would love to make my son homemade baby food! But as a mom, working 40 hours a week, it’s been nearly impossible. I would love to make sweet potatoes, mangos and peas – my son’s favorites! π
kfalter@hotmail.com
Trace LOVES zucchini, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots and broccoli. But I agree, the dishes afterward are SUCH a pain!
I would make carrots, pears, peaches, and sweet potatoes for sure! My babies never liked the green veggies so I’d stick with something I know they’ll love π This would make making their food much easier and clean-up not such a burden at times!
I would love to have one of these! My favorite veggies to make are carrots and squash!
Annie
I would like to do apples, pears, sweet potatoes, peaches, and zucchini! rebekahaskinner@hotmail.com
I would love to try green peas, green beans, and sweet potatoes! kelsieruter@gmail.com
Applesauce, pears, peas, and green beans!
I would LOVE this! In spring we planted a ‘baby food garden’ hoping to make some beets, sweet potatoes, zucchini and various fruits! looking forward to starting foods with my babe at the end of summer π π so fun!
My email is: ckaehler@ymail.com
What a great item to have!! Looks much easier than my current process!
definitely applesauce π
I would love to try this with sweet potatoes!
oops uknowuwantme096 (at) aol (dot) com
I’ve been wanting to start making my own food but always thought it seemed like a hassle until I saw this! My guy loves everything (so far) and I’d love to be able to just throw a little of the veggies I’m making for dinner in there and make his food at the same time. Current favorites include mango, sweet potatoes, bananas, and carrots!
Apple, sweet potatoes, green bean, carrot and lots more.
Would love to make carrots and spinach!!
My email is juliasmoot1@gmail.com
Id definitely make carrots!! I love love LOVE carrots and they’d be perfect for a growing baby π
My nephew has just started eating solid foods and this would be so perfect- although I think we’ll skip green beans as he wasn’t a fan!
I’d love to try sweet potatoes, bell peppers, bananas, berries and squash!
My daughter hates zucchini too! This would be perfect for pumpkin in just a few more months…
Would love to win one!
chaoticdomestic (at) gmail (dot) com
Oh this would be so beyond perfect for my sweet friend who is having probelms getting organic baby food since she lives in the sticks! π
I would love to try sugar peas, soy beans (edamame) and okra as these are some of his Dad’s favorites!!
I could definitely use a more streamlined process for my 7 month old……broccoli, sweet potatoes and apples are some of the next foods on our list! π
Apples, pears, squash
My baby is 2.5 now but I loved making her purees when she began eating “real food.” Now, I would love to have this to create my own pouch foods. You know, like the Plum baby food pouches. My girl loves those and it’s a great way to sneak in veggies. Also if there is a baby #2 this would be perfect for those first foods again.
This would be for one of my friends! I have three kiddos three and under but the last one {at least I think he’s the last one} is already 10 months old and almost exclusively eating table food. I made my own baby food for my 2nd and 3rd kids and LOVED doing it.
I have nothing against store-bought foods…. they are expensive, but it’s a nice convenience to be sure! What I do like about making them at home is that I can mix fruits and veggies TOGETHER {Spinach-Pear-Blueberry or Roasted Banana-Sweet Potato-Apple…. MY FAVS!}
Gerber JUST started coming out with these fruit + veggie blends recently but they didn’t have them when I fed my first two babes.
Wow…. this is a really long comment. Sorry about that! I would LOVE to gift this to a friend who wants to make their own baby food. Thanks for doing the giveaway KATE!
Just starting solids with little J. My first homemade batch was not smooth enough to be called a purΓ©e. This maker would do a much better job with sweet potatoes!
I’m eager to try apples later this week! Henry just tried peas this morning for the first time and loved them. So far we love sweet potato, are so-so on bananas and iffy on avocado. I’m not forcing anything but keep trying the things he isn’t as big a fan of.
I would love to try this! I am due with my first baby at the end of August and have heard great things about making your own purees. I think mango would be amazing!
Thanks for the giveaway! As I was reading your post, I was thinking I’d love to try it out. My 2nd baby was born Jan 12, and we are getting ready to start solids. I made my own baby food with my first and loved it, but it’d be great to have a machine that would make it all easier! We’ll try mango, sweet potato, and pears.
WHAAAATT?! Never heard of this thing!! Mommy want! Mommy need!!
I would love to make mangoes, sweet potatoes, peaches, and green beans. coachgarvey @ Gmail
Also, have you cooked all your fruits first? I have just been peeling and putting peaches in the blender and spoonfeeding him the puree. Do you think that’s okay?
Pears for sure! Zucchini, summer squash, sweet potatoes, and peas to name a few π
I am loving making my daughter, Eavie, some purees in our blender and rice cooker! It is a lot of clean up, but she loves the homemade stuff, so it’s worth it. I would love to try some green beans and some sweet peas (she does NOT like regular peas), and maybe some peaches and some mangos. mmmmm. Thanks for all the good tips!
peaches and pears for sure. yum! kangarookim99 (at) gmail (dot) com
I have a 2 month old, but would love to try carrots and pears! π
I would love to try this out for my sweet little girl! My husband and I are expecting our first, so we are new to all of this and that baby food processor looks fantastic! I would love to make pears, peaches and zucchini!
What an awesome appliance! I’d seen baby food processors before, but I didn’t see how they were any different than a regular food processor. The steam feature on this one looks so convenient! I’d love to try it with some of the veggies we grow in our garden, like carrots and spinach. Sweet potatoes and fruit would be yummy too! I’m 33 weeks pregnant right now, and I can only say I wish I’d known about it sooner so I could’ve included it on my registry before my baby showers!
I would love to get creative and expose my baby to things like beets, roasted vegetables, cauliflower, and mixes of veggies and fruits! What a great tool to feed babies! Love it!
I was just eyeing this at Buy Buy Baby! I would love this for my almost 7 month old baby.
I steamed a blended with my first. This go ’round it might be worth a one dish mess. I HAATE doing the dishes.
I’d love to try something with my favorite vegetables that aren’t typically found in baby food: artichokes and/or bellpeppers!!
My five month old will be eating solids soon and I plan to make him homemade baby food. Looking forward to sweet potatoes and carrots!
I would love to make cinnamon sweet potatoes and cinnamon apples! My Emma loves cinnamon in her purees!
I made baby food for my 3 year old, now expecting my 2nd and this would be great! My 1st liked Sweet Potatoes and Butternut Squash. This device looks like it would make everything a lot easier!
I would love to use all the fresh veggies from the farmers market! This would be a fantastic appliance to have. I would love it.
Wow, this sounds like a fantastic idea. I am thinking about a blueberry, apple, pear medley. I would love to try this gadget with my little guy!
With the small size, I would love to just try any veggies or fruits that we are having for dinner that night!
this might sound silly but I would love to make apples and peaches with one! I love all the different facial expressions!
As a child (not a baby), we would get baby food plums to eat as dessert! So I will love to make those for my future baby, and see if they taste as good as I remember as a child!
My twin girls turned 6 months on Friday and it’s time to start the solids! We are pretty excited to start with some sweet potatoes and bananas π Thank you for the post– it was encouraging to read, i’ve been nervous about starting the process of introducing solids!
I’m pregnant with my first baby and our plan is to make our own food! I will definitely be doing sweet potatoes, spinach (my fav when I was a baby) and many many fruits!
I would make Peas and carrots. Looks fun and easy!
I would love to have one of these! I am currently pregnant with our third and final baby and was always wanting to make my own baby food. Now would be my last chance with this baby π I would try every fruit and veggie I could think of, especially squash and peaches
My daughter loves different fruits mixed like apples/peaches or apple/mango. Her fav veggie is spinach/carrot/green bean mix. And of course sweet potatoes! One of these would def make things a lot more streamlined.
My kids are all out of the baby food stage but I would give this to my best friend. I was her surrogate a year ago, and she makes all the baby food for her little one. She just found out SHE is preggo (miracle baby #2!), so I’d love for her to have this to make the process go faster when she’s got her hands full with 2 little ones!
Jasonandjanae@gmail.com
I would love to win this! I’m a first time mom to a 3 month old boy and have really enjoyed your posts about David! I would like to make squash, carrots and pears for my lil man.
My 5mo old little guy is just starting out with rice cereal, but I am anxious to purΓ©e some bananas and sweet potatoes for him! Love this post!
My baby boy is three months old. We won’t be starting purees for a few more months. I am excited to start making his baby food. I can’t wait to try peas, green beans, apples, berries, and sweet potatoes!
My roommates just had a baby last week, and it would be awesome to be able to make sweet potato, carrot, and other purees for her when she gets old enough!
casonken@gmail.com
I would love to make so many things! I would attempt carrots and maybe some apples first!
This machine would be neat to make some veggie and fruit blends!
I would love to make my baby’s food. I would love to try sweet potatoes and all sorts of fruit.
I made my son’s food too. I just used a food processor and stored it in ice cube trays, then ziplock bags once they froze. What I didn’t anticipate, was how quickly they move out of the puree phase and onto the chunkier stage. It seems like I pureed for such a small amount of time! But it’s way too easy to do to not do it IMO.
I would love to try pears! We have just started making our food at home and this seems like it would make it such an easier/quicker process!!
Carrots and Sweet Potatoes!
I will be making banana, mango and spinach – it’s my go-to smoothie for myself and would be wonderful as baby food too!! π
I would love to try this with sweet potatoes, carrots, & peas!
mango & sweet potato!
I would love to win this for my best friend Kennah who just gave birth to her baby boy William on 6/6/14 (the day before my birthday!) We are from the south and she lives in Columbia, SC so I know she plans to make sweet potatoes! Additionally anything with fresh cherries or berries! She is new to being a stay at home mom but loving (pretty much) every minute of it :).
I would love to win this cuisinart! We are expecting a baby in October and when the time comes I will definitely be feeding him sweet potatoes and pears.
Jessayn@aol.com
Sweet potatoes and cherries!
I am expecting and would love to make my own baby food from my garden, starting with zucchini, green beans, and raspberries!
Oh I would love one!! I’m just starting my baby on solids! I would love to try sweet potatoes…and everything else!
Thank you for posting about this! We are just about to start this stage and I think I was planning on starting with green beans and then apples.
Sweet potatoes, carrots, fruits..?
I would love to do sweet potatoes and apples! It would be fun to mix some different fruits and veggies.
Pears, peaches, sweet potatoes
I’m 7 months pregnant and have been back and forth about making my own baby food when the time comes. it looks like this cuisinart would be a great way to convince me to give it a try. I definitely would have to try carrots, peaches and maybe some green beans in this thing.
Please consider sending one of these my way! π michellebernu@gmail.com
I loved making my sons food when he was a baby. The creativity of food combinations and watching him eat things that I made (and a few I grew) was so fun. To come up with new or unique combinations I often looked at store bought combos for ideas. The HappyBaby line has some very creative combos that shocked my mom and my son loved! That babyfood maker would be so handy for when we have baby #2!
I would def have to do sweet potatoes as a NC momma!
I’m a huge fruit lover so I can’t wait to try pears and bananas with my little man!
I would make loads of green beans for my little man! He loves them π
I would love to start making baby food for my twins!! They are so into veggies more than fruits and I think this would be perfect! Squash, carrots, peas are their faves! Strawberries and apples are their favorite fruits!! Love your baby posts!! So helpful! I was totally intimidated but baby food making but this makes me want to try it!
I would love to make some peaches, and sweet potatoes in this super dandy gadet. With our last one I made his food, and it was a lot of dishes!! This time around I would love to use this!!
Thanks!
I would love to make any kind of fruit! I never really thought about steaming it (silly I know). Second baby is due at the end of the month and I want to make all of his food. I would make the veggies with my first, and put them in the blender. This would be so much help.
eviekhamilton@msn.com
Carrots!
I’d love to make so e sweet potatoes, broccoli, and maybe asparagus!
I’d love to try sweet potato. It’s like the perfect baby food to me.
megan[dot]mcmeans[at]gmail[dot]com
We have started the Paleo diet/lifestyle and love it. I won’t lie, it is hard at times. Pretty much everything we eat, he will be able to have. I want him to be able to try as many different types of foods as possible. I definitely need one of these processors for my baby boy! π
I forgot to include my email.. Sorry!
Taraf254@yahoo.com
I’m pregnant with my second and would love to give this a shot! Pears sounds like a great idea…
I love this! I’m wanting to do this for my soon baby. My question is, what do you do with the ice cube tray?
Sweet potatos and apples would be my favorite!
He’s so cute! I think it would be fun to try mixes. Sweet potatoes and carrots would be where I would start, though!
We have a great organic garden, looking forward to all the fresh veggies-diff kinds of squash, beans, peas sweet potatoes. this sure would speed up the freezing process!! ps David is a real cutie!!!
I would love to try sweet potatoes and green beans
Sweet potatoes, squash, apples, and so much more!
Pears and sweet potatoes
I would make pears and applesauce!!
Squash and sweet potatoes
I am a first time mom, just had my baby girl a month ago and I would love to win this to make her baby food with in the future. I am looking forward to using local organic produce to make healthy purees for her. My favorite growing up was carrots and sweet potatoes, so much so my skin had an orange hue. I’m curious to see what my baby girl likes.
What an awesome invention to steam in the same container! I’m so impressed with how easy that sounds! I love making baby food it is a sense of pride you get when your child enjoys your hard work and creativity! Some of my favorites would be butternut squash, green beans, mangos, and of course how can you go wrong with sweet potoatos!
Sweet potatoes!
New mom of a three month old so just starting to think about this! Thanks
I would try sweet potatoes first.
Wow what a creative invention that is, I had no idea that they made a steamer for baby food use. I’m pregnant right now and have been crazy interested in making my own baby food for a while now. I love all the ideas I see on Pinterest, but this would definitely make the process easier. I think I would probably try just about anything my baby would eat, just experiment with the veggies and fruits that are in season. I’d most likely plan the foods based on what we as the parents are eating sometime. Ex: Baked sweet potatoes for mom and dad, throw some in steam/blender for baby.
Sweet potatoes!! π
Would love to try this! I’ve been making food for my 9 month old the whole time. I love it. But this looks like it will cut down on the mess!
My son just started baby food 2 weeks ago and so far he loves sweet potatoes, carrots and green beans! I’m starting him on veggies first, but can’t wait for him to try fruits!
Love this post! Im going to start making ours too. This was way helpful. We have a sweet potatoe sitting here ready to take the plunge. Now all I need is this! π
I’m due any day now and can’t wait to make my own baby food! Starting with sweet potatoes, but trying anything, including beans, beats, apples, and anything else!
I made my own baby food with my middle child and can’t wait to do it all again with my 2 month old when the time comes. I always enjoyed making Apples with the help of my oldest :).
I’d love to be able to feed our baby out of our garden with this!
Carrots, squash, apples! We are starting food next week with my little guy and I’m so excited!
I would love to purΓ©e peas! val_whitely@yahoo.com
This is fabulous! I could see me using it for all kinds of fruit…apples, pears, plums, etc. I love the idea of zucchini although I am kind of with David…zucchini purΓ©e…yuck π
I would love to win this for my friend Haley. She is finally pregnant after many IVF attempts. Kate, I love your blogs and can’t wait to get home every day to read. You remind me so much of my friend! My email is greenii2@hotmail.com. Please keep up the good tutorials and musings! Love you!!!
I have a 3yr old boy, Lincoln. I really wanted to make his food but to purchase the equipment and then the time spent doing the prep work, actually making the food and then clean up, I was discouraged before I could ever get started. We are trying to have a second baby and I would love a tool like this to make our own baby food. Maybe I just might win it (if not I’ll register for it)!!! I love when you post about things you have tried for and with David. There had been a lot of questions answered for me. Thank you!!!
afinch07@live.com
Sweet potatoes! Pick me! π
Fruit! Pears, plums, apples. PurΓ©ed fruit is yummy to all kids and even big kids (aka-adults)!
I’ve just started making purΓ©es for my daughter and have a giant food processer that obviously does the job but it is so much cleaning with the pots also. I’d love to make some nectarine and peach purΓ©es and get started on some veggie purees as well. Maybe some green beans and carrots. I really hope she likes veggies more than I do!
I’d love to make all of my baby food in this babyfood maker! Looks so easy and simple!
I love making baby food, and now that I have three littles, I would love to streamline the process. I’m envisioning pureed peaches, pears, and green beans. YUM!
I love love love sweet potatoes and can’t wait to feed them to my youngest daughter (now 2 months). I didn’t make baby food for my oldest, but am going to give it a try this time around!
I am due in October and would love to win this! I plan on making baby purees, too… I think I would probably try a fruit/veggie combo like zucchini with apple to help the flavor π
I would for sure make strawberry banana! its my favorite combo outside of sweet potatoes (thats my all time veggie favorite!) My email is bockward@gmail.com!
what a great invention! squash, sweet potatoes, applesauce- the list is endless!
thanks for the great review and chance to win!
What a cool gadget. Green beans
Berries, carrots and zucchini would be great- the more colors the better I say!
Valerie

I have a 3 month old and would love to make all her food. Definitely want to try sweet potatoes!!
Baby #2 is 5 weeks old and I can’t wait to feed her solid food. I loved watching our son taste foods for the first time. Ice cream and donuts were my favorite firsts to give him so far, but carrots, applesauce, etc. are just as fun. Even bland baby cereal is fun because of their reaction to the new texture. If I won this I would make carrots. I also love making purees into pouches!
I’m due in November, so I’m excited to make butternut squash, sweet potatoes, or any type of fruit! Especially pears! I didn’t make homemade baby food for my first, so I’m eager to do it with my second!
Pears, Carrots, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Apples
This looks great! I would love to use it for sweet potatoes and apples.
The hubby has always loved green beans, so I would have to try green beans!!
carrots and peaches… yes, definitely… or maybe green beans and apples… hmmmm the possibilities if I had a machine like that!!!
This baby food steamer/cooker would be great for me to make peaches for my 6 month old son!!
Apples, pears and squash are my favorites!
My son is 4 days younger then David and is currently loving sweet potatoes! What an awesome machine! I have been steaming all his veggies on the stove and then transferring to the magic bullet but wouldn’t that make life easy?! I think we might try squash or zucchini next! We will see of Hudson likes it or not!
Looking forward to making sweet potato, pears and apples!!
I would love to make homemade applesauce. It is easy, yummy, and makes your house smell good! My little one also loved avocados, so I’d probably throw in those or any kind of fruit.
When my son was eating purΓ©ed foods, I enjoyed making his foods as well. He is two now and this post brings back so many great memories! I would go to the grocery store and also research online the fancier baby food options in order to recreate the blends at home. Spinach and Pears was a hit for my son…as well as Avacados with Mango. I also enjoyed the fact that I could introduce spices to his foods and control the amount of added sugar.
Sweet potatoes was one of my favs!!
How great is that machine?! I wish I had that several years ago for my first sonβ¦.#2 is on the way now and I’m excited to try different combos with fruits and veggies.
I’m due in three weeks and would love one of these! I plan to make all of my baby’s food. I would puree my favorite green smoothie ingredients. Maybe my son will love them as well! I love kale, apple and banana. Spinach, banana and any berry. I would love to try carrots and other vegetables as well.
sweet potatoes. and peas. and carrots! All the veggies!
I had not seen this product before your post! I would totally use this! I think I would try sweet potatoes and bananas first!
I cannot wait to start making homemade baby food! Everything is so much better made from scratch. Not to mention, you actually know what’s in it! I am looking forward to pears (my husband favorite treat when he was little) and peas (not my favorite, but you can’t beat the beautiful green of pureed peas!
Thanks for the giveaway! I would love to try parsnips or kale maybe mixed with some fruit. So many possibilities! Meganwbark@gmail.com
That would be so convenient! I’d try carrots and sweet potatoes first!
Apples! My son loves anything with apples. If he doesn’t like a purΓ©e I mix some apples into it and he gobbles it right up!
melissa_noste@hotmail.com
I’d love to make carrots and pears! I want to make REAL food without preservatives! Thanks for the post and tips. We aren’t to real food yet but this is great advice/help for when we get there π
Applesauce combos!! π
I’d love to try making some homemade baby food and this sounds like an easy (and cleaner!) way to try it. I’d try squash, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, and peaches…
How awesome! I would LOVE to make food with our 2nd!! We bought food with my first because it all seemed so overwhelming on too of working full time but this seems like it would be such a time saver & allow me to do it myself! Plus save tons of $ on food at the store! Sandra1931@aol.com
I’ve been looking into buying this same one buuuut reviews talk about mold in it? Do you see any places of mold potential? I’ve seen it for sale on several websites. Doubt you’d know yet but just curious. I’d love to make my little guys food- love all the things already mentioned- I’m getting good ideas (I.e kiwi!)
Sweet potatoes, carrots, squash and apples!
I would love to try green beans (a texture I have never been able to get smooth enough). We just started baby foods a week ago with baby number 3 and I’m hoping to stick with making my own baby food for much longer this time around — there is so much more variety when you make your own. Also, pears for the win at our house, too.
That’s phenomenal! I love the idea of a gadget that you can both steam AND puree the veggies in π I have some pins on my pinterest board about making baby food– for baby #3 who is due to arrive in the next few weeks!! <3
My baby boy loves beets. Go figure.
Green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes and apples!
I love making pears, apples, and sweet potato purΓ©e!!!
I have always wanted one of these. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to have this for my baby that is due in about 4 weeks. I would love making sweet potatoes, pears, and green beans.
Oh wow, I would love to win one of these things! I would use it for cauliflower and the boatload of broccoli I have ready to make for my 9 month-old child who LOVES to eat!
I would love to mix some strawberries!! Email: flippingintofashion@gmail.com
Baby #2 is almost here so I’m sure this would come in handy! My first loved eating pumpkin and squash!
I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and I have been eyeing these and regular food processors to make baby food once my little man is ready. I think I would probably like to try pears because its one fruit that I enjoy as well.
I would love to win this baby food maker! I am due in the next couple of weeks and had planned on making my baby’s food, but didn’t plan on what to use to do so! I would love to make my baby girl all sorts of things: sweet potatoes, apples, pears, etc. Thanks for sharing this great information!
I’d love to make carrots, squash, peas, apples, and pears.
Sweet potatoes! I’m 7 months pregnant with my first child and have been really enjoying sweet potatoes during my pregnancy!
I would love to make peas, pears, and mostly apples! The steaming of apples and such seems like work! I’ve so far only done easy ones- bananas, avocados, green beans, carrots etc.
Carrots and Butternut Squash, hands down! My little (almost) 7 month old adores them!
This looks great! I have loved seeing what you enjoy with David. I have a baby boy about 3 months behind! It fun to see what will be coming!
I would love to use this to make some sweet potatoes! I tried them with a different baby food maker— epic fail. I’m trying to stock up a bit and make a fee batches a week so we will be set in a few months!
Would love to use this! My daughter really enjoys squash and sweet potatoes, so I would probably start with those.
Avocados and carrots – but not together, yuck!
I love making baby food but dislike the mess! I would probably start my third with broccoli and spinach and sweet potatoes, just to get him to like them! Of course I would make a backup in case he hates them! My first liked anything and my second only liked fruit.
I’d love to try making carrots or pears for my little guy.
Just starting to look into all of this as our little guy is 4 1/2 months old. I can’t wait to feed him things like sweet potatoes and pears!
My son loves apples!!
I would use it to make all the baby foods!! It seems like an amazing, time saving machine for a working mom of soon to be 2 boys!
Love this post!
My little girl is only 5 months old and just about ready to start baby food. Iβd love to start experimenting with all different kinds of fruits and vegetables in the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker! Iβd probably start with the simple βorangeβ foods like squash and carrots as recommended. Hopefully she will like fruit more than her daddy does! π
My little girl will turn six months in two weeks. So we are just starting the solid food process, but I’m excited to try all types of fruits and carrots.
this is great. sweet potatoes and broccoli (my two faves!)
tonyanhorst@gmail.com
apples!!!!
Peas, pears, apples, sweet potatoes and carrots are my little’s faves so lots of those.
I would make sweet potato purees.
I would love this! I would make squash, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and lots of fruit!
With my first little one due October 1, I’m hoping to make her zucchini and butternut squash, not to mention strawberries and peaches! I would love to try it out!
I love pears too, but would love to try some fruit combos like apples, pears, and sweet potatoes!
I would love to make sweet potatoes and apples!
sweet potatoes!
My son was born the same day as David & I love seeing David grow along with my Henry. So far, Henry’s favorites have been sweet potatoes and pears. He tried green beans for the first time last night & ate them right up too!!
My husband and I were just talking about starting solids last night! We are new at this and still discussing purees vs. baby led weaning. One food that I am SO excited about for our baby is PEACHES!! We started dating in a town known for peaches so they are especially near and dear to our hearts. This Baby Food Maker looks ideal for making pureed peaches! And veggies too, I know, I know….
I think any kind of fruit would be great! There is so many possibilities with this machine!
Sweet potatoes! Definetly!!!
Carrots and potatoes!
I would love to make pears, peaches and sweet potatoes. Such an easy way to steam and purΓ©e fruits and veggies!
Avocados would be my first choice! I wonder if you can use this to make hummus too!? Thanks!
Sweet potatoes would be great! My first loved peas too! auslka13@yahoo.com
My almost 8 month old daughter loves squash, sweet potatoes and peas. I’ve dabbled in the baby food making process but would love a machine to streamline it!
sorry! thought it would post my email address…
LFerrell18@gmail.com
We have a large garden that is starting to come in. We can’t wait to grow and feed our very own veggies to Finn. Zuchinni, squash variety, pumpkin, beets, spinach…we would try it all π The Cuisinart would be helpful with fruit also, my little man also LOVES pears, but has a preference to the purple stuff… blueberries are a favorite right now with breakfast π
We enjoy your blog! Have a great 4th,
Katie and Finn – 6months
I would love to use this on root veggies, and green veggies especially! Green veggie baby food always tastes so bad from the store, I would like to make it fresh and hopefully my baby will like it better!
Everything! Especially sweet potatoes, apples, butternut squash…. So many to choose from! Thankfully, my 6mo baby girl loves to eat π
I have a 4 month old so will start thinking about baby food in a couple of months. I never really thought I would make my own, but after seeing this, I think I would love to try! Maybe sweet potatoes, applesauce, etc.!
Hey mama!! I am so glad you’ve found my method helpful–and thank you for the linky-loo!! I appreciate you! Happy babyfood making!! What a gift you’re giving your sweet babe! π xoxo. shawna
I’d love to make carrots and apples with it! Jilliancollura@gmail.com
Connor is 4.5 months old and I plan to start giving him food when he’s closer to 6 months, but I know the next month or so is going to fly by and my deadline will be upon me. One thing my husband and I really like is steamed cauliflower so I’m hoping that’s something Connor will like, too.
what wouldn’t I make a puree out of?! right now, I think squash and cauliflower!
My son loved pears mixed with green veggies like zucchini, spinach, &/or peas.
I cannot wait until my son is old enough to be able to eat solids. I would love him to try avocados and sweet potatoes! Those are my faves!
Blueberries, pears & carrots
Anything really! Sweet potatoes, peas, cauliflower (?), mango.
I would love to try out mangoes and see how they turned out, and also cauliflower – love!
Sweet potatoes most definitely! Carrots too since we are growing them in our garden right now! π
Oh I would try anything and everything! Especially sweet potatoes and peas!
I am starting to make baby #3’s food! With #3 its hard to find space and time to destroy the kitchen with all the pots and pans so this would be awesome! Just made broccoli last night at midnight :/ This would make a great replacement for all those dishes!
I’d try spinach!
Strawberries & Bananas – the most perfect mixture for Summer!
This post was super helpful, Thank you!
Zucchini + cod + red potato
My husband and I just found out that I am pregnant…YAY!!!!! This would be a wonderful first addition to all of the fun things we get to buy in the coming months!
I LOVE pears so I would definetly want to try those with our upcoming bundle of joy!
Love your blog! xo
I used the Baby Bullet with my son and it worked great, but the idea of having the food steam and puree in the same contraption would be amazing. I would love to make something messy like beets in it since that’s what I always found to be the most problematic when I was steaming in one place and pureeing in another.
Oh my gosh this looks amazing!! I am also making my son’s baby food, I love that I know exactly what he is eating! His favorites are sweet potatoes and bananas, so I am sure that’s what I would try first!!
I should have mentioned above that my email address is kelly.generoso4@gmail.com π
Sweet potatoes, avocados, ….everything really!
Would love to use this for pears too! Lots of great things in the summer at the farmer’s market, lots of possibilities! This is a great post, thanks for the info!
Baby #1 is due in 3 weeks, yay!!! I would try Avocados or peaches!
I have always wanted to make purees, but have been intimidated! Your post made it look doable. I would love to make sweet potato, kale, spinach, beets. The skies the limit!
This looks awesome! I have just started feeding my baby purΓ©es. So far he really loves sweet potatoes! I would definitely use this for things that aren’t so easy to mash up…corn, strawberries, zucchini, etc.
Ah! Would love to win, just started food with my little boy (named David as well). Squash and carrots would be top on the list since I know he already loves those. π
I made my older DD all of her baby food and would love to start making it for my 4mo DD. I used a steamer and blending for the oldest, but it would be awesome to have it all in one. can’t wait to try sweet potatoes.
My girl looooooves pears too… but I’d also love to do apples!
Sweet potatoes and apples.
My little man loves pear sauce with cinnamon π
DEEEEEELISH
Carrots!
broccoli, sweet potatoes. I think any type of veggies for a baby would be great.
milu_k20@yahoo.es
I would love to make sweet potatoes and green beans. Experiment with some fruit vegggie combos too!!!
I would love to use one of these to make homemade baby food! My toddler loves those applesauce pouches, so I would definitely make those and I would also use it to make pureed veggies (broccoli mixed with pears was a success with our older child) for our infant.
When my son Sam was a little older than David (closer to a year) I made homemade minestrone soup for us, then would blend a bunch for him. It was and still is one of his favorite meals, plus it made me feel virtuous because it’s a bunch of veggies and pasta! I can’t wait to start feeding our three month old Max and agree that the Cuisinart looks like the way to go for a mom on the go!
I would love to make mangos and purple carrots!
Oh my goodness! I had no idea the Cuisinart Baby existed!! I’m due with my 4th soon and this would be a life saver as far as time and clean up hassle go! I’d definitely start with Pears, sweet potatoes, and applesauce!
Sweet potatoes and apples!
I would love to try this. My baby is almost 5 months and we are just starting rice cereal but I would love to try something like this to help make baby food easier.
Would love to combine apples and bananas. Or maybe some fresh peas straight from the garden!
I would try my favorites: sweet potato, carrots, and apples.
Currently 7 months pregnant!! I would love to try pumpkin with a little bit of apple sauce! The pumpkin has so many vitamins i think it would be a great combo!
I’d LOVE the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker! <3 I'm a first time mommy to a 4 month old who is just now starting to eat 'real' food. I want to make my own but am so intimidated at the entire process! This post has made me realize how easy it would be with the right tools!
Thanks so much for the info! π
~Leigh
I have been making some baby food for my baby girl and you are right, there are a lot of work and clean up. So this tool looks very handy! I would try green beans, peas, and carrots!
I would absolutely adore one of these. With my son Noah, I made all of his foods myself and never bought the jars or little squeeze guys in the store. But I had used the Baby Bullet. Very user unfriendly to me. And I didn’t have a steamer basket or appliance. My plan is for any siblings that pop along for Noah, I’d love to be able to make their foods myself also. This appliance would be amazing. Just the thoughts of knowing you personally made the foods your child is eating, you know exactly what is in them, and it was easy to do? Such an awesome feeling! Plus Noah’s favorite was actually zucchini. He’d put that away like no one’s business. So I’ll probably start there next time.
I would love an easier way of making my daughters food. The cuisinart looks awesome! My daughter loves sweet potatoes and squash so far. I would love to try making applesauce and maybe pumpkin with my new cuisinart! π
Spinach! The mushy tastiness is good for babies and for adults!
I would love to make homemade applesauce!!
Our babies are a week apart and I love making her baby food too! Right now in my blender, so it would awesome to have a cuisinart baby! I’ve found that with zucchini she doesn’t like the texture. I’ve been adding it to other foods she likes and she loves it! Especially butternut squash! Now I’m playing around with different combinations of foods she’s tried; like avocado and banana. It’s a lot of fun!
Squash π yummy
I have a almost 4 month old and would love to make her some fresh sweet potatoes, carrots, and pears with this for when she’s able to start eating foods! :o)
I would try any and all fruits any veggies! The sky’s the limit when they’re pureed!
I would love to have something like this for baby number 2, even though solids are still a good ways off (I mean, I’m still pregnant after all)! I would love to try some fruit/veggie blends!
I’d love to use some of the veggies I’ve been growing in my garden this summer!
I think kale would be fun to try!
All the suggestions of root vegetables are spot on! My youngest daughter is just about the same age as David, so we’re in the middle of trying everything food can think of. I definitely look forward to the carrot/parsnip blend another mentioned!
I would love to use this for carrots and green beans for my little man, fresh from his grandma’s garden. I would also make pears and peaches and would love to make pumpkin for my little pumpkin in the fall!
That looks so simple I might even be able to handle making baby food as a working mom! π I’d like to try the ever popular sweet potatoes and carrots, but when baby is ready it would be fun to mix some spinach or kale into fruits (like a smoothie).
Definitely potatoes – either sweet or regular!
I have made my own rice and oatmeal cereals, carrots, and avocados. The avacado has been my little girls favorite. Sweet potatoes up next! This really would be so helpful for the process!
I would love to have this petite option for Baby No. 2 (due end of August). We used the steam/regular Cuisinart approach for Baby No. 1, and there was so much mess! This baby combo version looks like the perfect solution.
The possibilities are endless! I’d love to win one of these for my little! Thanks for the opportunity!!
I would love to make my daughter fresh squash, zucchini, and sweet potatoes from the farmers market! Thank you for sharing your experience, I plan on making her baby food, the advice is useful!
Avacado
i want to try the cucumbers too! My girl is about to start eating next week!
My little guy used to LOVE avocado and banana mashed together with fork..easy peasy.
Sweet potatoes and pears!!
This looks so convenient! A nice way to cut down on the number dishes to wash. Thanks for sharing your experience with making your own baby food. I’d love to make fresh sweet potatoes and butternut squash!
I would start with sweet potatoes! Looks like it makes baby food making much easier!
My son is 4 months and we are just starting him on cereal but I can’t wait to try making my own baby food. I want to make sweet potatoes, apples, zucchini and more. I love the streamlined process of the Cuisinart baby food maker. I would love to try it!
Broccoli is the first one that comes to mind, and then applesauce! After working in childcare and seeing other parents make their children’s food, it’s so interesting to me how different family cultures are reflected in the foods and seasonings they use!
My baby just turned one month today and he is growing way to fast!! When we start baby food I am excited to make pears, avocados and sweet potatoes π
Um….can I eat your baby? Because he is soooooo cute!!! (p.s. I don’t really eat babies, just knaw on them a bit. ;-))
I would love to try out some veggie/fruit combos like peas and pears or apples and zucchini. I have a 3 year old who does not like his food mixed. With baby #2, I want to be more adventurous with my daughter (5 months old) who will be starting solids soon! Thanks π
I would love to try squash. My baby loves store bought squash and this would make it so much easier to make homemade. This machine looks amazing!
‘Tis the season for strawberries up here in NH. I’m thinking a strawberry banana purΓ©e would be a hit with my son Graham.
I would try and fruit and veggie combo.. Maybe carrots plus apples?
Probably squash. It’s such a pain in the tush to cook for us adults this would be a dream for our wee doodle bug. skbarnett AT gmail DOT com.
I would try mangos and guava.
Sarahnuno29@yahoo.com
I am getting so excited at the thought of making my now 4-month-old’s food once she’s a bit older. Plan on starting with sweet potatoes, and then summer squash.
I just started feeding my 5 month old vegetables this week. I would love to try making my own squash, green beans, and carrots.
I would love to do sweet potatoes, squash and spinach. This is a genius idea!
Kale and zucchini! Oh and LOTS of fruits
Ok, I don’t know if the contest is still going on, but I would LOVE that cuisinart baby food processor! I use a baby bullet, and I literally have to dedicate an afternoon. What with the chopping, then the steaming, then the processing… then the freezing… I would love to make the process easier!
What a cool little gadget!
Oh, and I would probably make….apples and kale. My 8 month old surprisingly loves kale!
Hmm. I think I would like to make spinach in this. It is so good for babies but I think it would be a horrible mess to make in a blender. I like that this steams and purees all in one container.
Green beans and carrots mixed with fruit!
Love the Cuisinart appliances I have…I didn’t know about this baby food maker! With a four year old, two year old, and baby #3 on the way this would sure be nice to have. I would love to try making some fruit and veggies blends π Thanks so much!
I haven’t made my little girl any food yet because I’ve been working 70+ hours per week since I got back to work, but the Cuisinart makes it look so easy!! My husband and I have a lot of food allergies, so it would be really nice to know exactly what she is getting! I am so excited for all of the possibilities too – berry blends, apples, sweet potatoes, carrots! So awesome!
I’d love to do some pureed berries. And sweet potatoes and squash!
I would like a mango spinach combo. YUM!
My baby is one month younger than yours and I can’t wait to start feeding her purees. Sweet Potato is #1 but pears will be great too. I would love the Cuisinart Baby because it steams the food perfectly. I always burn it or not cook it enough on my own.
I’m very excited to mix mango and banana! My 9 month old, Sebastian is also a fan of pears. Would love to play around with different combos and get his reaction! Thank you for the chance! Wood.aimee@gmail.com
I would love to make my own baby food, mixing different fruits together and making my own recipes would be interesting for me to say the least.
I’d like to try just about everything! My husband and I really want out daughter to enjoy healthy foods. I have a sweet tooth and I’m hoping my daughter enjoys healthy foods, too! I plan to only do vegetables for a while before I introduce fruits. This baby food maker would be really convient! My daughter is currently in daycare, and they provide baby food in the price, but we still would like to make our own! This would save a lot of time! Love you baby posts, Kate!
Love this post! If make sweet pirates. They were my favorite as a baby, so hopefully our son will enjoy them as well!! xx
cantaloupe, banana, avocado & pear, try all fruits & veggies, & mix flavors
Loving the idea that it steams and purΓ©es in one machine!
That’s the baby food maker I used for my daughter, as well. I loooooved it! It really does make everything simple by having one machine. I’m having another baby in something like 5-10 days so I’ll be busting it out again before I know it! Oh, and my little girl totally dug pears, too. π
He especially loves sweet potatoes, carrots, squash and pears but loves almost everything.
Applesauce!
Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, and maybe experiment with mixed veggies and fruit.
Carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and apples!
I had no idea there was such a product on the market. I would love to use it to puree pineapple, peaches and pears!
Can’t wait to feed baby girl sweet potatoes! We’re starting solids in 2 weeks!
I made baby food for my first, and my second is due in a little less than three months. Can’t wait to make it again! My favorite to make was peas… the jarred peas taste (and smell!) disgusting, but homemade pea puree is delicious!
Love this post! We are due in October with a baby girl and looking forward to exploring homemade baby food options!
I have loved making my daughter’s food! My sweet little weirdo really prefers savory foods. One of her favorites right now is turnips. I could do up a whole slew for her with this gadget!
I love your blog!!! Husband and I are expecting our first baby, Dec. 2014! So excited, we’ll see what he/she likes but I do plan on making purees for our baby!
Can’t wait for the end of the year π
Sweet potatoes!
I think peaches and strawberries!
This machine looks amazing! I would make sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples.
I use to mix the zucchini with pears for my baby and she loved the combo.
OMG! I would LOVE to win this!!! I have been looking at different processors etc because my daughter is now three months old. I cannot wait to make her squash and sweet potatoes π
I would love to try some apples with it!
I am currently pregnant and have decided we are also going to make food for baby fish (our last name is Fishel fyi that’s what everyone is calling baby till we have a name for sure)when its time for many reasons and I would love something like that! I think maybe carrots and apples together, sweet pots, oh and Fredericksburg peaches!!!!! YUM!!!
E>
I would love to try green beans and bananas!
I’d love to try sweet potatoes, green beans, peaches and pears!
Fresh applesauce even for the bigger kids!
I would LOVE to start making my daughter’s food. We’re trying to learn how to start introducing solid food, as she has a milk and soy protein (which is in almost everything!) intolerance. It’s been interesting! Making it from scratch would eliminate a lot of doubt for us. Can’t wait to see her try sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas… anything!
Apples & Mango!
Pumpkin and black bean mix…Yum!!!
I made a lot of PRUNES for my first. She loved them. She ate literally anything I put in front of her. It was wonderful. Now she is 2.5 and survives on crackers and air. So, that’s nice.
Number two is here though, and I would love to try this. Especially the walk away part. That would be wonderful. π Thanks for the chance to win it.
I would love to make anything, especially with the recipes that they give you. But I would especially like to make apricots or apples. I love fruits. π
I’d love to win this. I have a baby on the way so it would definitely come in handy! I’d would first try out sweet potatoes or apples.
Anything! Baby #3 is a month old – I’ve done a combination of baby led solids and some homemade purees before – this would be great!
My sister just had a baby and it would be great for her to try this out! This looks so much easier with the steamer. I would do peaches first.
Would love to win! This looks like a really neat machine!
Our baby girl is due this week, and I’m planning on making her baby food when the time comes also! This looks great for really any fruits or veggies!
My baby is 4 months and I am getting so, so excited to start introducing him to foods. I would love to try to make interesting creations trying out leafy veggies, but I would also stick to the usual: sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, etc. So neat that it cooks and purees, I’ve never see that before!
Carrots or strawberries!
I would love to win this! My little one is 3 months old and I’m looking forward to experimenting with homemade purΓ©es. Sweet potatoes and pears will probably be some of the first ones we will try. Email is brianacrowley@hotmail.com. Thanks!
If I won this, i would give it to one of the new moms at our church. Thanks!!
This looks like a great device to use to shorten the clean up process a bit. I think any options of fruit or veggies would be fun to try out π
I would love to make carrots and sweet potatoes. My baby is just starting solids!
Apples, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, avocado……& so much more!
Oh I would love to make a strawberry puree. It looks so much fun!
Pears and sweet potatoes!
Apples are such a pain to cook in the microwave! My little guy loves them, and I think this gadget would be the perfect way to prepare them! apukstas[at]gmail.com
I’d love to make any purees with it. My son is only 3.5 months old but I’m really excited for him to start solids as soon as he’s ready. : )
I would love to try anything with bananas or avacado. Sweet potato sounds good to me as well!!
Sierra.sda23@gmail.com
Wait, so it steams and THEN purees? I quit making baby food because I was sick of all the dishes from the fifty bajillion appliances I had to use. With this one, I’m pretty sure I would MAKE ALL THE BABY FOOD!!!
A friend of mine is expecting, I’ll make sure to tell her to look up for the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker or a similar device, since it seems a lot nicer to prepare the baby’s food oneself. Thanks for sharing this information.
I’m so excited to start making my son baby food in a few months! I think the baby food maker would be especially helpful for squash.
I would love to make peaches, pears and possibly try some butternut squash. I have a 3.5 month baby girl, so we have a couple of months before it is time to start on solids. It has been fun to read what you are doing with David, and begin to prepare for my little one’s next phase. Thanks for your posts!
I love that it is so compact and everything is all in one….and that I know exactly what is going into my baby’s food!
I would love to try the stage 1 banana-pear recipe. http://www.cuisinart.com/baby/recipes/stage_1/277.html
Julie smartsavvymama@gmail.com
Sweet potatoes! Or some avocado!
Our little girl turns 6 months on the 27th so we are ready to try pumpkin with pear. PurΓ©e apples, mango. I like to mix the veggies with the fruit.
I would love to try squash and also pears!
Butternut squash and bananas!
My baby loves carrots and squash, so that’s what I would make. I would love to win!
I’d love to make sweet potato puree…and see what I can do with pumpkin in the fall π
I would love the blessing of winning this baby food maker. I love to make my baby sweet potatoes and feel have this device would really encourage me to stick with it!! Thank you for your encouragement and posts!!
Yum! Cauliflower, peas (my favorite), and apples
I would make my little boy sweet potatoes, squash, spinach, broccoli and so many others. Hope we win!
My youngest just turned 6 months today! I have sweet potatoes and squash ready to try and feed him. I would love to make up some zucchini (I even have some ready to pick in my garden!)
I would like to make a strawberry mango banana puree mash for my baby with this amazing maker!
blessienelson (at) gmail (dot) com
My daughter is 1 day older than David, I just started making her foods, but she seems to like the store bought ones π Do you start with s store bought to test for allergies before making a batch, or just dive in? I want her to prefer the fresh veggies, she is already pretty uninterested in eating, so maybe if I cut out store bought altogether it will help?
We have tried sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, and bananas.
What a great little gadget! I’d love to do sweet potatoes and broccoli.
Thanks for sharing this all this great info; very helpful website! My little site hardly compares, yet when time permits, you could peek at my site… appreciate it! : ) http://isee-ato.com/?page_id=2
Not sure if this is still open but thought I’d try! Having a baby boy in September and this would be great! I’d love to do zucchini, never thought of that, and apples! YUM!
I would like to make those pears! Think the baby would love it!
Always wanted to try making baby food. My little man is a eating machine and loves sweet potatoes the most. Thanks!
Everything! But sweet potato’s and apple sauce!!
This looks like such a time-saver!
What a handy machine! Great for all the fresh summer fruits and veggies!
I would make green beans or sweet potatoes! These both usually require some work when preparing for baby, and I’m sure the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker would help simplify the process!
I would make tons of different foods! We raise a garden and this would be awesome! I think sweet potatoes would probably be the highlight!!!
I am so absolutely happy I follow your blog. Some of your advice doesn’t apply to me currently, but the advice, tips and cues I have taken from you always work out better than what I was doing. I can’t wait to meet you f2f one day. π
Pears, green beans, and mixed fruit!!
I’d love to make sweet potatoes and pears!
green beans and sweet potatoes!
Green beans & squash!
I would love to make my own food with my baby due in September. I would try pears, mangoes, sweet potatoes, green beans and squash.
I’ve toyed with the idea of making the puree’s myself but was concerned with how much equipment it would require. This is perfect! I would love to be able to strictly puree all the veggies and fruits. I think I’d be most excited about apples since they’re my favorite fruit. π
I would love to make green beans,squash, and applesauce! This machine makes it look so easy! Love your blog!!!
My son will be starting on solid foods soon. I would love to learn how to make him baby food. I would start with sweet potatoes, strawberries, avocados and bananas! Thanks.
More like what I wouldn’t make in that thing…but my Lil’ guys favorite are sweet potatoes and green beans
Pears and Peaches would be delightful. Oh and probably some sweet potatoes as well π
green beans:)
Any and all! I really want to try to make our own baby food here in a couple of months, and only having to use one appliance sounds amazing!
Green beans, peas, broccoli, squash, or zucchini – mixed with some mango, pears, peaches, or apples. Yum.
I would love to try this out with carrots or peas.
btweety04@sbcglobal.net
I would love to make veggies and fruits for my daughter! So far sweet potatoes are her favorite!
Hi!
I have been following your blog for the last 2 years or so and I have to say I feel like i know you already! Shortly after you had baby David, we had our little man, Hudson. He is 3 months now and I am already researching baby food makers- this looks like it would be perfect. I am really excited to try different veggie combos to see which he will like- I personally love sweet potatoes, squash and zucchini, so we will see if we have better success with the zucchini than you did with David.
Thank you for the opportunity!
-Sarah and Hudson
I make all of my daughter’s baby food, and as much as she loves squash, I can definitely envision a much easier life with this nifty gadget. The kitchen gets so messy! Your baby is precious! π
This post is a complete guidance towards homemade baby food. However, the importance of baby milk-powder always holds its place in an infant’s diet.
I would love to win a Cuisinart Baby Food Maker! I am due with Baby #3 in October and really want to make all of his baby food so I think this would be the magic trick in making any of his baby food much easier.
I would love a Cuisinart Baby Food Maker!
I would love one!
I think this would work really well with carrots, apples and sweet potatoes!
I would love one of these for my 8 month old daughter. I would try sweet potatoes.
I would love one for my baby!!! I would like to try all sorts of combos but bright orange foods like carrots and sweet potatoes would be the first on my list!
I’m thinking about starting off my little girl off with avocado (which doesn’t need to be cooked)…pears, peas, sweet potatoes and apples.
The zucchini looks delicious! FTM here, living in a small apt in NYC so that would save so much space. I’d love to try some veggies like peaches and apples as well. xoxo
tiffanyrusso@gmail.com
I would like to try making purΓ©es to add ore veggies into myfamily’s diet. Maybe cauliflower or spinach.
I would love to make baby food for my 4 month old baby girl. I like the idea of being able to mix flavors like avocado, pear, and pineapple. I see making food as something fun to experience together.
Any kind…but mainly carrots, pears, bananas.
I want to #makeallthefood!
I’m with everyone who said “all the food!” I don’t know that my son has turned his nose up at anything, though I don’t think the veggies were as much of a hit as the fruit has been. Can’t say I blame him!
With my first two kids we just did the store bought food for the most part, as they got a little older I would cook up some veggies for them as finger food, now that I’m pregnant with number three we have changed a lot of our eating habits as a household and I would love to make my own purees this time around. I’m thinking a little of anything and everything…I like to try and get as much variety for my kids as possible!
I seriously laugh every time I look at your #hashtags and #pearfection. Ahh. So fun.
I’d love to win! I’m just starting to make my own baby food for my 7 mo. Old too! I know he’d love sweet potatoes. So far it’s only been avocado and he’s not so sure about that π
Did you pick a winner yet?? I would love to use the Cuisinart Baby Food Maker for sweet potatoes! My favorite! ajagow89@gmail.com <3<3
Sweet potatoes or peaches
sweet potatoes!! π
#nomnom
Thanks for the great review! I really love your blog.
I would love to learn how to make combination fruits and vegetable purees. Like the store bought foods, they always have pear, spinach and blueberries…or something like that. Also, once they’re a bit older, how do you start to incorporate pureed meats?!?!
Squash and Pears were my sons fav! Also try a dash of cinnamon in some of your puree!
All I can do with this food processor. Where do I start!!. I am already super excited. Umm, lets see. apple, avocado, banana and pears puree. Carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans puree. Then start mixing them. Maybe some peaches and mango’s.. Oh the list can go on forever!
What are some good diet foods for babies?
best natural baby formula
I would LOVE this!
I have been spectacular, thank you very much for the information
It is really a best food processor to make baby food and helpfull to make home made food for kids . I am really exciting about that .
The blog and the post is absolutely fantastic! Lot of information is helpful in some or the other way. Keep updating the blog, looking forward for more content…Great job, keep it up.
