Grains and Veggies

Brown (parboiled) rice with zucchini and acorn squash*. 
Quinoa with butternut squash 
Millet with carrots and a little broccoli 
Lentils and squash 
Soba noodles and yams 
Whole wheat couscous and pasnips and peas 
(*don't underestimate the versatility and lovely flavour of all the squash family!!) 

Instructions 
Just cook the grains (rinse well first) and steam the vegetables, then use your food processor (a must for baby food) to make a big batch. Making 2 dozen ice cube size servings makes it seem more worth while, and keeps well in your freezer in plastic bags. Once you start experimenting...your freezer fills up quickly and your baby's diet is full of taste, texture and variety. 

Keep the tall baby food jars that you have to defrost the next day's diet. Label the lid with a permanent marker (carrots and peaches look very similiar!). 

The consistency needs to be smooth for success...I sometimes add a little soya or rice cereal to make the vegetable more palatable ( ie. more bland) for a baby. 

Good luck and when those last few bites are no longer interesting to your baby...don't force them on her. Changing to fruit is always welcome and the leftover bites can sneak in, disguised with fruit.
