We would store them in the used baby jar/plastic containers. This really saved us a bunch and our little one seemed to love it!

They actually wouldn't even eat the jar stuff because it didn't taste as good. <br/><br/>Another tip - I always took part of what we were eating out before I added all the seasoning and did the same thing. I would add just a teeny bit of salt when they got a little bigger, but that was it. I used any kind of meat and veggies we were eating. It was so easy just to take out a little and throw it in the food processor and freeze. I wasn't having to go to any extra trouble (cooking anything separately) and they ate very well. I did it with soups as well, and just added some rice to thicken them up. So easy, and I sure did save a lot of money! I did this when both of my kids were babies and it was awesome!

But I never did meat. Maybe I will try this time around! That is the book that I used. But I never did meat. Maybe I will try this time around!

I saw that you were in the DR. I was there for a couple weeks working at COCREF schools and teaching Bible School near Sabana Grande de Boya. Just wondering where you were!<br/><br/>And I made pork tenderloin and potatoes in the crock pot earlier this week. I cut my tenderloin in 1/3s too for multiple uses :) I hopped over from Happy to be at Home! I saw that you were in the DR.
