Alternative uses for baby food...

So before I knew about the nitrates or whatever in carrots, I had made a big batch and used the reserved cooking water in them. Once I read that was a no-no, I decided to figure out a way to use them in our food (not Olivia's) so as not to waste it. 

My husband is not a huge veggie eater, so I thought I would try to sneak it in some of his food! Here was tonight's spaghetti sauce right after I threw 6 cubes of carrots in it! He never even knew, and I'm not telling!

  2. what a crazy good idea. i found out before i made carrots that i shouldn't make them myself, but if i had, i would totally be doing this! try throwing a few cubes into some mac n cheese. the orange will blend right in!
