Don't let the word "homemade" scare you. Preparing baby food is simple and a wonderful way to know exactly what is going in your baby's mouth. This Thanksgiving, prepare a feast for Baby while the turkey bakes and the stuffing browns. How's this for a meal?

1 slice cooked turkey
1/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes
Water, formula or breast milk

Place turkey in a blender or food processor. Blend with water, formula or breast milk (1 tablespoon at a time) so it becomes a smooth liquid. Blend in sweet potatoes to desired consistency. You may need more than 1/4 cup to make it thicker than a puree if you are feeding an older baby.

2 cups cubed butternut squash
1 cup water

In a saucepan, combine the squash and water. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer about 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and cool slightly. Add to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.

1 cup green beans
2 tablespoons water, breast milk or formula
