You would think that my favorite part of making natural baby food would be watching the tiny humans gobble it up and then reach their little hands out for more...and while that’s definitely a rewarding part of the business… if I were being honest here… my favorite part is actually watching the parents when they try the baby food. When I originally offer them a sample you can immediately see the horror and hesitation in their eyes. However, thanks to social niceties nine times out of ten they feel obligated to try it. So they take the spoon and you watch them as they bring the spoon closer and closer to their mouth (I’m pretty sure throughout this whole time they are thinking to themselves… how in the world did I get suckered into trying this). They eat it… and then immediately there’s this slight smile like “hmm…oh…wow… this is pretty good” and sure enough those are the exact words that come out of their mouths. I’m a huge proponent of “if you wouldn’t eat something then you shouldn’t feed it to your kids” and I can tell you, if you tried our food you would eat it too.

I think one of my favorite things about this pouch is how fresh it tastes!

This pouch was described to me by a mom as tasting “like a fancy soup”... it is pretty delicious 😋

This pouch is hands down a favorite in my house! It taste like a slice of apple pie...without all the carbs 😜

I find myself often explaining how and why I started ChowBaby and because it’s such a great story I am going to share it with you all. The day we got the green light to start giving Ella solids I was THRILLED… finally I could sit with her in my lap and we could share a meal together… even if that meal was baby food. So, I did what most parents do and I went out and bought the most expensive jar of organic carrot baby food (because if it’s expensive it’s gotta be good… right?). Well, I’m sitting at the dining room table ready for this legendary moment (cue the angels singing) … I open the jar, dip her little green spoon in and take a big mouth full... (angels singing are cut off by screeching tire) to say that I was disappointed was an understatement, the baby food was salty, didn’t taste like carrots and it had a slightly sour after taste. I immediately thought if I wouldn’t eat this, I’m not feeding it to my daughter. So, I ran out bought a bag of organic carrots, steamed them and pureed them. I was shocked by not only the drastic color difference between the two (mine was a vibrant orange and the jar was a drab orangey-yellow) but also the taste was exactly what you would expect steamed carrots to taste like. Needless to say I did end up getting my legendary first moment and the best part was that the purée was so good we ended up eating it as a side to dinner.

I feel like I have to share my mango story because it was one of those moments where I thought “ah... this is why I’m doing this”. The first time I made mango purée my mom was visiting and I asked her to feed it to Ella while I cleaned up the kitchen. Now, normally these two are very chatty... Ella with her baby collection of random sounds followed by my mothers “really? Aha... and then” or mimicking the same string of moshposh words and sounds that Ella uses. Well, I hear none of this coming from that direction of the house... what I see, is the two of them taking turns eating the purée together 😊

The purpose of this workshop is to teach parents how to make their own baby food using fresh produce. Alexandra has been making her daughters food since she was 6 months old from scratch.
