Cloth Diaper Cake
 Thank you to our local cloth diaper manufacturer...SoftBums! I was lucky enough to have the most amazing
diaper cake included in one of my baby showers. This isn't your typical diaper cake though...it's made from CLOTH
diapers - specifically SoftBums cloth diapers. This cake was made from the cloth diapers my family members purchased for me,
multiple diaper inserts, the cutest wet bag, toys, and various other decorations. Take a look at the softbums
website for information on how you can get a cloth diaper cake of your own! www.softbums.com

Homemade Baby Food - money saving segment - ch 12
Why make your own baby food????
- You know baby is getting fresh & healthy food
-
You know it doesn't contain salt, sugar, or other preservatives
- You will save money!!!
The
average cost of an ounce of jarred baby food runs about $0.20. Homemade baby food will run about $0.02-$0.03! That sure can
add up!
Here are a few of our favorite baby food recipes...
Carrot & Ginger Delight:
16oz (2 cups) carrots, washed &/or peeled, diced
1Tbsp Butter (Babies need fat in their diet to replace what they lose from formula or breastmilk)
1/8 tsp.
Ginger
Place carrots into a saucepan with about 1 c. water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 8-10min.
or until tender. Drain carrots (save cooking liquid) and place in food processor or blender. Add butter and ginger. Blend
until smooth adding approximately 1/2 cup cooking liquid to thin. Scoop mixture into ice cube tray, cover with plastic wrap,
and freeze. Once frozen, pop out and place in freezer bag, label, and date. Will last 1-3 months in freezer. Thaw in refrigerator
overnight or microwave briefly to warm.
Avocado & Banana Supreme:
1
small , ripe banana
1 avocado
Peel both fruits and mash together and serve! It's easy as that!
Avocado is an ideal baby food. With it's smooth texture and nutty flavor, this ultimate healthy food is perfect
for a starter baby food.
Peas
w/ Curry:
1 pkg (10oz.) frozen peas, cooked and drained
1/3 c. plain yogurt
1/4
