The day that I have been waiting for finally arrived! Gabe is now eating solids and his first time was so fun to watch! Tony and I were so excited, and after it was all over, we could not stop smiling and feeling so proud of our little munchkin. We decided to start with apple...I don't know why I started with this but I do know he really loved it. I made a homemade applesauce, very easy to make and I have to say it is way better than any store bought apple sauce. It was the simplest thing to make and the flavor was nothing but true apples, no preservatives, sugar, etc....
We started with very little since I did not expect he would eat much, then we gave him seconds, and then some more. He really loved it! I am really keeping my fingers crossed he is not a picky eater! I have to repeat that this homemade applesauce tastes way better than anything you can purchase at the store. The following is a recipe for making this quick apple sauce...honestly, it is really just mashed apples. Make it for your baby, your kids or yourself. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon if you like and enjoy!
Homemade Applesauce
2 medium apples (Gala apples), peeled, cored and chopped
2 Tbs of water
Put the apples in a saucepan and add the water. Cover and cook over low heat until tender (6-8 minutes).
Transfer the apples and cooking liquid to a blender or food processor and puree. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold. Add a pinch of cinammon if desired. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
