Get a Real Lunch

Everyday_change_50x50
After one bologna sandwich too many, you've lost all faith in your lunch-making abilities. Fill a Thermos with leftovers, toss veggies with last night's chicken or saute artichokes with garlic and oil for imaginative, quick and (cheap) healthy lunches.
"Ever since I subscribed to your site the daily reminders are the only thing I read apart from email and the NY Times headlines and weather. I am hugely critical of most self-help information, but this is not what your site is. I save 1 in 2 of these and have kept a library folder. They are intelligent, concise, relevant and are pitched at exactly the right level." -Martin Chalk, CEO, Balance Water

Question:Do you cook fresh foods for your baby or do you use store bought baby food?

I have two sisters. One of them went the route of steaming and pureeing vegetables and the other sister opened up jars of baby food. I don't know that it made any difference in the health or personalities of their children.

I guess it's personal preference. Do doctors recommend one way or the other?

Answer:

I'm a grandmother and greatgrandmother. I always made the food for my babies and still do for any of the grandbabies when they are here...there are no picky eaters in our family! What ever I made for dinner the babies had, too...my blender was my best friend!!!

Answer:

My Mom made all homemade baby food for me. I'll be doing a combo of homemade and store bought for my baby, depending on how time consuming the food prep turns out to be. You can buy handy baby food making "kits" including storage trays and instructions.
