Homemade Baby Food: Green Beans

Green beans…not one of my favs nor my twins…but great to mix with other veggies/fruits.

Place a small amount of water in your steamer and turn the heat to medium.

Wash

Snap the ends of your green beans. You’ll want to discard the ones that are flimsy and don’t snap.

Once the water comes to a boil, turn the heat down and start steaming your green beans. You’ll want to steam them until your fork can easily pierce them.

After they have cooled, puree them using the water you steamed them in. For Stage 1, you’ll want to strain them (like so) b/c the skins can be tough.

Here’s a combo my baby likes:

green beans, brown rice, millet, chicken

I will show you how I make my baby’s chicken in another post. Super easy and it’s all done in the crockpot! I stayed away from making chicken with the twins because after making 1 batch (I pureed the cooked chicken and froze it), I got soooo grossed out! It tasted really grainy so I stopped feeding it to them. haha! as if they would have known the difference! My new method is so much better! Granted, it takes a lil bit more work but you’ll have a tasty batch to last you for awhile.
