can be stored in the freezer for 1-2 months.
One cube is approximately 1 ounce of food and can be thawed out
in the refrigerator or microwaved for a quick meal. You can also
mix cubes together (e.g. one meat, one vegetable) for a
combination meal. The cubes also travel well, just place a
frozen cube in a sealed container until ready to eat...it will be
all thawed out and ready to go.

Fruits (except bananas) need to be cooked before they are pureed

family meal, puree it and freeze it for baby. I also pureed some

It's a good thing the green beans will keep in the freezer for
awhile, because when I gave a bite of them to my 4-month-olds
they looked at me like I had just fed them the most disgusting
