Slow Cooker Baby Food Recipes - Yellow Squash, Sweet Potatoes, or
Green Beans
The first recipe you can use with squash, sweet potatoes, or frozen
green beans. Make sure that the vegetables are washed and the skin is
peeled to make sure that they do not harm baby's stomach. You will want
to put the large chunks of food in the slow-pot and cover with the
smallest amount of water that you can cook them fully in.
Ingredients
¼ cup water
Green Beans
Squash
Sweet Potatoes
As far as the frozen green beans are concerned, use the same amount
and you can put those in the crock-pot frozen. In regards to the sweet
potatoes, you will only need to use a third cup of water to fully cook
them in. Unlike other slow cooker recipes, you'll want to ensure that
you will be home to keep an eye on the food as it is cooking. Each of
the foods that I have given will be cooked differently all depending on
the content of the moisture and the density of the fruit or vegetable
that you are preparing for you little one. Everything should be cooked
completely in a three to four hour time span and you only need to use a
four quart or two six quart slow cookers. After the food is tender and
ready, unplug your slow cooker from the outlet and utilize your blender.
You can even make use of your food processor to puree the baby's food.
If the food is still thick and you need to make it thinner, only use
water in little drips to do so. You will not harm your child by freezing
the baby food so you may put the food in ice trays and store in a
freezer bag for later use. It is actually very safe but make sure that
you put a date on each bag and use them accordingly. Also, do not freeze
breast milk.
