Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
This might be interesting for those with foodies-in-training, as their options can be fairly limited when they're not really up to un-mushed foods yet. The Mercury News has a great guide with tips and tricks for cooking your own baby foods, all of which are useful in helping to select the most nutritious foods and prepare them safely. In general:
- Brightly colored produce, both fruits and vegetables usually pack more nutrients. They are more flavorful, so sugar should be unnecessary.
- Steaming is the quickest and easiest way to cook the vegetables quickly. Puree them in a food processor once they are tender; there is no need to cook them to death.
- Be vigilant about keeping surfaces clean while preparing the baby food, since babies are more sensitive to bacteria
- Refrigerate or freeze foods after cooking and cooling to room temperature without letting them sit out.
- Offer foods multiple times, but start with small batches in case it doesn't turn out to be a favorite.
One of the most interesting suggestions is to freeze the foods in ice cube trays for single-serving sizes after preparing them in large batches. Once frozen, you can defrost a cube or two as needed, and the cubes can be easily stored in a large plastic bag.

I did find an interesting resource through www.lammazing.com in their Baby Food & Formula section. It will come in handy because I can browse by brand and order it online.
