Homemade Baby Food (Part 2)

Anna is almost done with her Stage 1 foods and has honestly liked almost everything she has tried! Green beans and pumpkin were a challenge but I'll give them another try in a week or two.  She is eating solids twice a day, so she gets her "new" food at one meal and then I'm trying to do "old" food combinations at the other meal.  By "old" food I mean foods she has already tried.  I'm trying to do as many veggie+veggie and fruit+fruit combos as I can so that she doesn't get used to having a sweet fruit with her vegetables.  I've mixed avocado with both fruits and vegetables.

With the fruits I have found that a cocktail muddler (like this) is helpful when mashing avocados, bananas, etc.

Fruits
Apples (did not freeze, Target brand adult unsweetened applesauce thinned slightly with breastmilk)
Avocados (did not freeze, mashed with a bit of breastmilk)
Bananas (did not freeze, mashed with a bit of breastmilk)
Mango (made & froze, pureed in blender with some water)
Peaches (made & froze, bought frozen peach slices, thawed and pureed in blender with some water)
Pears (made & froze)
Plums (made & froze)
Pumpkin (did not freeze, used canned pumpkin)

Vegetables
Beets
Cauliflower
Summer Squash/Zucchini
