When I was pregnant with Norah, I decided that I was going to do the best that I could to give her the most wholesome food possible. Good eating habits begin early on, so I really wanted to get her used to healthy food. We went straight from milk to veggies and fruits, bypassing the white, refined rice cereal. I am not one of the those people that gets all anal about organic, but when choosing between pre-packaged food, or making my own baby food from fresh fruits and veggies, it seemed like a no-brainer. Plus, it is so much cheaper (which means more money to spend on etsy.com or at Gymboree, my two weaknesses)
I highly recommend www.wholesomebabyfood.com for anyone interested in making food for their baby. This site has lots of great recipes and tips on introducing solids, menus and how to do BLW (baby led weaning). Making baby food is super simple- steam, puree and freeze (sounds like an infomercial, right?) Here we are in action:
Norah's stash: bananas (top, kinda brown-ish), pears (light yellow), winter squash (dark yellow), green beans (green in the bag) and peas (green in the ice cube trays).
As of now, she uses most food as a facial treatment rather than nourishment, but we are getting there...slowly.
Trying BLW...she can get food into hands, and hands to mouth. We are still working on food INTO mouth...
And finally, I have to show off the new stylin' seat cover from Sewplicity:

Did you make that seat cover?! WHERE do you find time!? Totally impressed, jules! ...also with the baby food! So, what IS the deal with the rice cereal anyways? Is there a reason that most people use that as the bridge from milk to solids? Oh I have so much to learn! :)
