Have you ever tasted baby food.
I would not serve it to a starving dog, It tastes disgusting.
When my babies transitioned from the breast to solid food, I made all my baby food for my kids, with organic produce, spent a few hours each weekend making it, then froze it in little containers, so we had plenty to fall back on, in case the baby was extra hungry.
The meals were initially vegetarian meals, then I started adding in different cooked meats, finely ground chicken and beef etc.
As they got older, I would whizz up the food that my wife and I were eating. for instance, If I made a shepherds pie or spaghetti bolognese. I used to whizz some of that up for the kids.
For the sweet puddings, I used to buy fresh fruit, whizz it up in a food processor, or simmer some apples in some water until soft, and mixed it with my home made greek yoghurt or home made egg custard.
Home made greek yoghurt, is made from natural yoghurt, by pouring it into a fine seive, and leaving it for a few hours until all the whey has drained out. super tasty thick greek yoghurt. perfect for little growing kids. they love it.
On the plus side it trains your kids to like proper home made food, and not get used to factory, mass produced, processed shit.
Home made baby food is as cheap as chips, super healthy and super easy. Babies dont eat much.
Proper tasty grub for kids.
