My "Home Making" Continues

So yesterday I made homemade pot roast which I blogged about. Well, that is what Andrina has been eating too with us. And today we had a lot of leftovers. So I decided that Andrina would have pot roast for lunch and dinner today. She still has a cold so she hardly ate any lunch. She was a little more eager for dinner but it was taking her such a long time to chew the meat as she has no molars yet. I remembered that I had a mini electric food chopper that my mom gave me as a Christmas gift several years ago. So I decided to use that to make the meat easier for her to chew. Tom watched her and fed her veggies while I washed it out (it had never been used before) and cut up roast and put it in there. It was funny, the chopper or food processor chopped up the meat into fine little strips. So I added some of the juice from the pot and ran it though again and now it looks like meat baby food. Which, essentially, is what I ended up doing. Making home made beef roast baby food. Andrina ate a few bites of it but just isn't into eating at all today. She didn't even want graham crackers at lunch today. So I blended up more of it and but it into two small plastic containers for lunch and dinner tomorrow. She has no problem chewing up the carrots and potatoes, so I'll just cut those into small pieces for her again.

I ended up making homemade baby food. Wow. That wasn't something I really set out to do. I never really wanted to do it before, but the need arose this time. But hey, anything for my baby and she can't chew the roast yet. And Tom and I both thought the meat was very tender too. I guess not tender enough for someone without molars. Oh well.

I also now know where my food processor is and I'll be using it to grind up broccoli and potatoes for some homemade soup soon. And I decided that when the pot roast leftovers are gone, I'm going to freeze the leftover beef "stock" liquid and try to use that in soups too. Since I'm on this kick of wanting to make homemade soup lately.
