Homemade Butternut Squash

i made Luke's first homemade baby food today. the only thing that makes it "baby" food really is the breast milk that i added to get the smoother, creamy texture. though, i doubt any adult would ever want to willingly eat pureed butternut squash without seasoning (flavor). i tried it and immediately wanted to reach for the cinnamon and butter, oh no, that's sweet potato!

so, it was really easy and a lot of fun. no sarcasm here. the hardest part was cutting the dern squash before popping into the oven! i got the cooking instructions from wholesomebabyfood. love that website! after i baked it as instructed, i gutted half the squash and added about 2.5 oz of breast milk to it and then pureed it in my mini prep. then i did the same for the other half. i filled up two freezer trays and then once frozen, transfered the cubes into labeled (& dated) freezer bags.

so here are a couple pics of my efforts. so proud of myself!!! and as an added bonus, Luke gobbled it up!
