so, i fell for the hype...

but it is worth it!! thanks to a good collection of williams-sonoma gift certificates, i was able to purchase this amazing little appliance. i have always been a sucker for kitchen gadgets! yes, i know i have all the necessary appliances to make homemade baby food already (steaming pot, blender and/or food processor) but this is just so much more convenient. everything in one little, stylish machine! it also just makes small batches so i can easily pop something in while i am fixing breakfast in the mornings. lance likes that it doesn't make enough to freeze. he hated having millions of little colored ice cubes of food in the freezer when ethan was younger...not sure why, but it drove him crazy! he was not excited when i said i was planning to make baby food again for miles. i will admit he did roll his eyes when he saw this thing, but as soon as i said it made small batches that i wouldn't need to freeze he was all over it.

so far, my food reviewer loves the two things i've tried: applesauce and yellow squash. tonight i steamed some of the leftover green beans we had for dinner and hopefully he'll be a fan of those too! i know, it isn't for everyone...some love to have their freezer filled with food, but i am glad i found it this time around. i feel like it has already been really helpful and am looking forward to making more food with it.
