Baby Food

I haven't posted much lately because I haven't been trying new recipes lately. I have really been focusing on making my own homemade baby food for my 7 month old daughter. I have really found some great ways to make her baby food and she has really loved what I have come up with. If anyone is interested in making their own homemade baby food, please let me know and I will get some info to you about it. I love knowing that what is going into my baby is healthy and has no preservatives in it. It actually ends up being more cost effective also to make your own baby food.

Meltaways

Ingredients:

1/3 to 1/2 c. powdered sugar

1 1/4 c. flour

3/4 c. cornstarch

1 c. butter, softened

Mix all ingredients together. Roll into 1" logs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Remove logs and cut into 1" cookies. Bake in 350* oven for 12-15 minutes until set. Cool.

Frosting:

3 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 c. powdered sugar

1/2 t. vanilla

Beat frosting ingredients together until fluffy. Place frosting in a decorator tube fitted with a star tip. Frost the top of each cookie with a swirl of frosting.

*This recipe is from my neighbor Jackie Thomas. She made these the other night for a baby shower we threw, they are so yummy......the term "once you start, you can't stop" completely applies here. I will be throwing a baby shower in a month and I am definitely going to make these for that.
