I have a cuisinart, it purees all kinds of food. I can puree at will. Give it a try. It is pureed food that is essentially baby food, low in spice and seasonings. Now that you know that you can puree at will just like me.
My blender purees too btw.

Apricot baby food makes a great glaze. It holds up to the heat of cooking really well. Mix it with whatever herbs or spices you want for savory (i.e. chicken or pork) or sweet--I put it between the layers of chocolate cake when I want a chocolate/tart fruit combo.

Gerber's Hawaiian Delight. It's really good-- similar to a slightly ricey pineapple pudding. I have a jar in my fridge right now. :)

My adult cousins (with kids) always say they liked Blueberry Buckle as a kid and now :)

I've used baby applesauce on the rare occasion when a recipe will specify "one tablespoon of applesauce" because I don't want to buy an entire jar for such a small amount.

Other than that, the sight and smell of baby food makes me feel sorry for babies!

I don't have children, for those who do (or those who know): what is the point of baby food? Why can't you just feed small children bland, pureed versions of adult food?

A friend had gastric bypass surgery earlier this year and has to eat a lot of small meals throughout the day. I watched her slurp down some Gerber beef something or other and almost lost my cookies :P Must be an acquired taste.
I'm with bygnrd. Gerber Hawaiian Delight is great for a small snack.

Gerber Vanilla custard - - just the thought makes me smile and want to grab the car keys for a trip to the store :)

I’m developing a taste for Gerber’s as a result of a joke--One day in reply to a question about what I wanted for lunch I’d planned to reply “Gerber‘s strained prunes.” Well, the joke was on me because at the suggestion of a co-worker I tried Gerber’s apple sauce and loved it. Then I remembered that I liked Gerber’s strained prunes as a kid so I tried those, too. Now I’m hooked on Gerber’s fruits and puddings as supplements to many of my meals! Incidentally, I buy these items quite openly at the store and never have been made to feel embarrassed. :}

i have a confession to make. we were feeding my boyfriend's old, sick cat gerber strained beef because that was all he could eat. one night we went to babbo for dinner and i ordered the beef cheek ravioli. it smelled exactly like those jars of baby food!

I put baby food carrots in my tomato sauce, if I have any in the pantry. I like chunky sauce, but not chunks of carrots in it (although I love chunks of carrots in tons of other things). It's just so easy and it flavors and sweetens the sauce, and is totally natural and organic. Carrot soup would get pretty expensive using baby food...LOL..

I used to love Gerber's banana but I haven't had it in years and I believe that most baby food manufacturers cut out some of the salt and sugar they used so I can't vouch for it now.

What I do love now is YoBaby yogurt by Stonyfield Farms. It is unbelievably delicious and the only fruit yogurt I like. I find all others disgusting, but this stuff? It's like the richest creamiest dessert ever.

I have always loved Gerber's vanilla custard pudding!!!! But I can't find it anywhere. I think they quit making it and I'm very upset because it is the best tasting stuff in the world. I've never tasted anything like it and it seems like there's just no satisfactory substitute for it. If anyone knows where to find it, I would love if you could let me know! I will buy bulk! :D

Okay, I must say I love peach baby food and those little puff things for tots! But being a teenager, and eating baby food can be a big problem! Mostly because I get odd looks from people in the check out line........and then everyone has to ask who is the owner of the baby food in the fridge at school.....which is always awkward. But now I'm chill with it, I mean it's just mushed up food, right?

I use baby food fruits instead of real live bananas as a nice change in my banana bread recipe.
