When I think of feeding my children there is one universal theme- how can I feed my babies the best quality food on a realistic budget. I say realistic because sure if I had a thousand dollar food budget per week then it would be high quality super foods flown in from all over the world, but even if that were the case, I would still need a way to keep them fresh and store them. Funny, that even though my families weekly grocery budget is modest we share the same universal issue of how to safely store our babies food.

As our family grows so does this website- we started out just trying to figure out how to store the basic store bought baby foods so they would preserve the quality, taste, and be safe to eat. Now we are making more of our own baby foods as well as growing a lot of our own foods (there are a whole new set of circumstances with preserving are storage there too.)

This page has a basic overview of baby food storage, for more detailed information select one of the topics from our menu bar to read more detailed information. Be sure to book mark our site and check back often we try to add new articles and recipes each week.
