Apple sauce is so easy to make and tastes so much better than the jarred stuff. Not to mention it is a lot cheaper to make it yourself. I just peeled and chopped 4 big Fuji apples, added 1 cup of water, some lemon peel, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 cinnamon stick and a little brown sugar (next time I will probably go sugar free), brought it to a boil, then simmered for 30 minutes. Afterwards, I used a potato masher to, well, mash it. Delicious with vanilla ice cream (for me) or on pancakes (for Toto).
The best baby food storage method I have found is to cook big batches on the weekend - chop mangoes, bake squash, roast carrots, pan fry turkey, boil noodles - then cool and freeze in these 6.5 ounce Libbey bowls I get from Amazon. According to the Libbey website the lids are BPA-free (god knows what other chemicals are there, but the food rarely even touches the lid).
My other great food storage method is a second fridge. I had to beg my employer a bit for this one, but it was SO worth it. Now I can store (hoard) tortillas, bread, baby food, berries, spinach, and all the other stuff that we would have to run to the store weekly to replenish.

The applesauce sounds delicious honey. You are doing a great job feeding our Toto. I'm glad you got the other fridge to save you some time. Love, Mom
