Peas on Earth

Date: August 31, 2007 | Category: Food, Kids

A baby’s breakfast is nothing to meddle with. When my kids were young, everything that passed their lips had to be mommy-approved. I was lucky to have my good friend Amy Bonetti who versed me in all the dos and don’ts of creating my own baby food. Besides being the only tried-and-true way to monitor exactly what they’re eating, it saves significant amounts of packaging from landfills. It’s also super easy and convenient to make large batches and store them in the freezer for future use. For those of you who don’t have your own baby-food aficionado on hand, Fresh Baby makes the So Easy Kit that comes with almost everything necessary to get your production up and running (except the blender) - freezing trays, a cook book, a how-to video and a handy cheat sheet. “30 Minutes a Week” they boast. But sometimes things are hectic and 30 minutes seems like a lifetime. In such situations TastyBaby, the collaboration of Malibu socialite Liane Weintraub and chef Shannon Swanson of Swanson TV Dinners, makes the hippest organic baby food without any sugar or preservatives that comes in a biodegradable box with soy inks. Flavors like “peas on earth” and “squash ‘em” will soon be available in your grocer’s freezer to make sure even your baby-food emergencies are as green as can be.
