Homemade baby food

Today I spent most of the day in the kitchen boiling fruits and veggies and then grinding them up to a lovely puree for little Miss Harlow.  The recipe below turned out awesome!  After baking a giant summer squash in the oven for over an hour and then grinding it up with boiled apples and brown rice Harlow was over the moon.
