First, I started with the squash...
 |
| Cut a small portion of the end off so you will have a flat surface to stand it up, then cut down the middle in half. (my cutting in half didn't work out so well) Scoop out the seeds, set aside. |
 |
| Bake 350 degrees, 1 hour. |
 |
| Once cooled, scoop out flesh (should have consistency of a sweet potato) |
 |
| Puree until smooth (if you want it chunkier just mash with a fork) |
 |
| My 2 lb butternut squash cost $2.60, it made 8 - 1oz servings. Oh and it tastes delicious! |

 |
| Rinse and separate pulp and seeds |
 |
| Bake seeds for about 10-15 minutes, add salt. You can snack on these or add them to your salad like I did. |
 |
| Then onto green beans and pears (I didn't end up doing the apples) |
 |
| After seaming and pureeing the pears, I added oatmeal to half and to the other half I added oatmeal and applesauce. |
 |
| After pureeing the green beans I mixed half of it with rice cereal and to the other half I mixed in rice and applesauce for a sweeter taste. |
 |
| After dating and labeling, it's time to freeze |
 |
| There's something to be said about opening your freezer and seeing a bunch of adorable smiling faces staring at you! |
I tasted everything I made today and it was all good! Not that I'll be having the green beans, oatmeal and applesauce mix for dinner or anything but I like to make sure that they at least have a nice baby friendly flavor.
The idea for the squash came from one of my all time favorite bloggers Roni....
