Anyway, you may have to look around. It sounds similar to the "Tasty Baby" stuff you mentioned. It's frozen cubes of pureed food. The selections were somewhat limited, but I'm happy to have something that I can buy pre-made. Anything to save some time. Kendall loves sweet potatoes! I've yet to make them myself. HappyBaby sells them premade. I love giving her bananas because it's so easy. I heard good things about avocados, so we are going to try that soon.

Sweet Potatoes. I have decided to try to make as much of her food as I can, so far it actually seems pretty easy. We have started bananas also, but those I just mashed up for her from a fresh banana and added a little bit of formula for consistency. She doesnt eat the whole thing so if I dont want it I slice it up on a cookie sheet, cover tightly in foil and then freeze it for an hour or so. Then transfer them to a ziploc bag for future mornings. I also just found something called "Tasty Baby" at our grocery store. Its frozen organic purees. She hasnt tried it yet bc technically my doctor didnt want her to start food till 6 months so I am kinda going slow until her check up. But it looks good! It was pretty pricey though and they only had 2 flavors for Stage1 so it probably wont be a frequent item in our house, but I thought it was worth a try. I will have to look into Happy Baby, I didnt see it at our Super Target, the only brand they carried was Gerber for everything :( They didnt even have Earth's Best which I have heard is pretty good. This is a long comment, I should have just emailed you. :) So funny to read this right now as I am making my first batch of baby food. Sweet Potatoes.
