All the Way!!!!

Ever since Good eats COC I do not make it any other way. Peel back husk, removing the hairs but leaving some husk ( gives it a nice grassy flavor) boil it using sugar instead of salt. After a few minutes take it out of the water. Now I add my little touch, butter and salt it, wrap it in foil and keep it warm on the grill. By grilling it, it kinda like steams the butter and salt flavor right into the kernals.

But when I was a kid, smothered with peanut butter.

Tappito, fresh black pepper and celery salt. with a cucumber garnish.

This is nice, someone who wants my advise. With both my boys I did this. 1st off let me share this tip, I would carry a garlic press in my diaper bag, I would put anything through it from, cantaloupe to rib eye steak, just mix the steak with a little of your baked potato and some butter, yum.

What I would do is starting as soon as they could gum food, and didn’t mind some textures. I would make a whole slew of meals. Then pulse them in the food processor, separate them into those little glad, freezable containers. I would make these things kind of stew like and extra soft. And limit the amount of salt, but do taste to make sure it tastes good. Also is another good tip, keep some Gerber rice cereal on hand to thicken meals that became to runny after freezing and reheating.

Chicken noodle soup, with the norm-carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and chicken broth, Pulse that pretty good, then just before separating into the containers, add in soft noodles or rice.

Beef Stew, pretty much on the puree side.

Beef and barley soup

Lamb and barley Stew

Imagine this one……Stuffed baked potato with Chicken, broccoli, cauliflower and cheese sauce. Cook everything well done, peel the potatoes and throw it all into the food processor. They loved this one.

Spaghetti with meat sauce. Cook the meat, rinse and drain, place tomato sauce and meat in food processor. Puree, then stir in some extra soft small noodles. ( I added a little bit of sugar to the sauce to make it kid friendly, sometimes tomatoes can be too acidic)

Split pea soup with ham.

The list goes on and on. Basically I would try to emulate anything that they made in the jars. I would serve these things with cranberry sauce or apple sauce. And make sure I had 5 -8 of at least 3 kinds in the freezer at all times. Then to serve, I would place the container in a micro-safe bowl (just incase it overflowed) on high for a minute or so. If it was too thin, stir in some rice or barley cereal, or even some instant mashed potatoes.

Honestly I never bothered with the 1st foods because it was so much easier to buy them and they were over it so fast. As soon as they had some of momma’s home cookin’ that was it. I hope you try some of my

Too funny. I was just at walmart and I was looking at this bag. They have it in print and solid Aqua too. Um I like it, very cute. But as the above person said, I always seem to have leaks in my lunch bag and this one is not wipeable on the inside. But I do hate those unsightly lunch sacks, so good luck.
