what to do with leftover baby infant cereal and food

After my little one has already turned one, I realized that I have an abundance of baby cereal and jarred food that I have gotten over the last few months.  He is not too keen on eating it anymore so I had to think what I could use it in but of course it has to be disguised or no one will eat it.  Here is a list of possibilities that we personally use in using up your leftover baby foods.

  • use it to thicken soups—instead of using mashed potato flakes we use a box of baby rice cereal
  • use it to thicken gravies–instead of using cornstarch we use baby rice cereal
  • do some muffin or bread making—we use baby banana food in place of mashed bananas when making these
  • make smoothies  we use jarred banana instead of cut up fresh bananas
  • buy baby applesauce, the only baby food, I believe, that tastes almost like regular adult food and serve to older children
  • use applesauce in place of oils in bread, muffin, and cake recipes
  • use any fruit to add to your waffle or pancake recipes for added flavor and nutrition

 

21 days to a more natural home series—day 21 wrap up

all natural home series

 

 

We have completed this series.  I hope that you have made some of the changes in your home.  You don’t need to start big, just small baby steps.  If you just change one thing a week or even a month, it will be an improvement upon what you are doing now.

I know for our family personally this has been a huge money saver in our home.  I am constantly thinking that I need to wash that baggie out and save that plastic piece to reuse it.  I know the chemicals that I used before were costing us alot of money, making my own has made things much simpler and cheaper as well.  The only thing is that it takes some time making the cleaners.  I started making my all purpose cleaner and quadrupling it and putting it in an old water milk jug.  So that when i do run out, I don’t have to stop what I am doing and tend to mixing up another batch, now  I just pour directly from my gallon jug.  So much easier.
