I make all of DD's baby food and have since she began solids.  Try this website: www.wholesomebabyfood.com   It was a lifesaver for me.

I also love wholesome baby food site. Great ideas and recipes.

I have triplet girls that are a year and recently they decided they will not let me feed them from a spoon. They refuse no matter what or how long I try. SO I have been just giving them chunks of steamed vegetable and fruit. I don't know what else to try. They all have different likes and dislikes so every meal has become my most dreaded time of the day. Clean up is the worst because they basically need a bath after every feeding. Any ideas or suggestions would be so helpful. Running out of things to give them.

They haven't been able to master meats yet, they were born 10weeks early so only 10 months adjusted age. Thanks in advance!

I wish you would have posted this a couple of days ago! I just gave a way my homemade babyfood book! I think you can find recipes on the 'net though. Just Google homemade babyfood.

I used that wholesome baby food website when I made my own baby food. I tried a variety of things, after I was sure my baby wasn't allergic to any foods of course. Each meal would include maybe 5 or 6 different types of food as opposed to just one thing. I gave small helpings, such as 1-2 cubes of each type of fruit/veggies. 

If you're looking for small batches, you can take one piece of fruit or veggie, prepare it, and freeze in ice cube trays. Store those in ziploc bags and take out one or two as needed.   

Didn't really use any "recipes"... just used a baby food mill/grinder and grinded up whatever we made. By like 8 months, she was on all table foods but the grinder was great!

ditto! wholesomebabyfoods was my homemade baby food bible!!  it's great! the recipes on there are simple and my ds likes all the food that we make for him.

Read SUPER BABY FOOD by Ruth Yaron (library for free or amazon for 12$) and modify it to fit your lifestyle. It really opened my eyes to what my daughter needs and easy ways to incorporate that into our day. She is the healthiest baby I know and has a great disposition. Most family/friends don't get how she eats a whole foods diet at her age without jarred foods but I know it is what is best for her and feel really good about it. Shop sales for organics, freeze and stock up so all you have to do is take out everything the night before. I also keep track to make sure she is getting a good variety of fruits and veggies that includes all the colors. Turns out we eat alot of the same stuff and as she gets older I am seasoning my food less and sharing with her more. Awsome...

You can get fresh vegetables or frozen like baby carrots and broclie and just steam them and crush them up.  You can do a single vegetable or combine.  Also boil a potatoe with the skin on to get all the nutrient then peel and mashed adding just a little formula in it and that can go with vegetables or by itself.  I use to give my son cream of wheat in the morning also.  You can shred or grind bake chicken.  My son use to like mango, bananas which iI will crush also.  I also juiced vegetable and gave his a little to drink but must dilute with water.  Half and half.

34 years ago I fed my second daughter out of my summer garden.  Beets, beans, zuchini, carrots, squash, etc.  No guide books available, but I steamed/boiled whichever veggie was ready to harvest, blendered to whatever texture ws appropriate,  froze them in icecube trays, and thawed as needed.  I'm sure it was all organic, as I used no chemicals in the garden.  Broke an egg into steaming cream of wheat, put homemade jam into homemade yogurt, HM applesauce into cottage cheese...etc..it just seemed easy and more natural than the jarred babyfood that (at the time) contained added sugar and salt.  Had a "Happy Baby" food grinder, which travelled to restaurants, and friends' homes.  It ws all so easy..I loved the 70's!!!!

FYI...frozen veggies are often more nutritious than fresh, as they are processed within hours of being harvested, while fresh items often spend days on a truck being delivered to you grocery store.  Buy local, or buy frozen.
