Baby Food prep- Sweet Potatoes

I made sweet potatoes this morning for our BIG little potato. Seriously, he is HUGE! It's really easy to do. I peeled (3) sweet potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes. I cooked them in the microwave, with 2 tablespoons of water in the bottom, covered with saran wrap, for 9.5 minutes. They are done when you can pierce through them with a fork. From there, I use the Magic Bullet to puree them. Mixing in water (I use my eyes on this), to get them to a puree type of mix. Please note, especially when baby is first eating, you will still need to "water" the mixture down before eating to get it to a texture he can eat. I use breastmilk for this.

So, I got 32 servings first stage size (16 servings second stage side). I bought the sweet potatoes on sale for .79 per pound, so I spent $1.47 for (3) sweet potatoes. That works out to approximately $.05 per serving of first stage and $.09 per serving of second stage!! Regular price at Target for Gerber stage 1 is $.99, which works out to approximately $.50 per serving. That is a big savings!

  1. I'm Serenity Autumn , currently living in Texas city, USA. I am a widow at the moment with Four kids and I was stuck in a financial situation in May 2019 and I needed to refinance and pay my bills. I tried seeking loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success, and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, I was introduced to a woman of God a private loan lender who gave me a loan of 850,000.00 USD and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan without collateral , no credit check, no co signer with just 2% interest rate and better repayment plans and schedule, please contact Mr Pedro On Email pedroloanss@gmail.com He doesn't know that I am doing this but I am so happy now and I decided to let people know more about him and also I want God to bless him more.
