DIY Baby Gift

We got this as a baby shower gift and I just loved and appreciated this DIY gift. How creative and thoughtful it was to get a gorgeously illustrated book (by Tyler Florence called Start Fresh on recipes for your baby and great information for starting them out), some canning jars with some custom made labels, chalkboard stickers and chalk. All packed it into an adorable 

wire basket with a big burlap bow!

FEED THE BABY: Steamed Pumpkin

Steamed Pumpkin

This little pumpkin came from our garden. What better thing to feed to your baby than organic, fresh, homegrown vegetables. I think so. And it is so simple.

 Start with a fresh pumpkin.

 Cut it in half and remove the seeds. I keep them to replant later.

 I made my own steamer. A rack in a basic pan with about an inch of water in the bottom but if you have a steam rack or steam basket use that. Turn on Med-High heat until squash is soft. About 20-30 mins.

I used an immersion blender and added a little water and blended till smooth.
