Part .05 Organic sweet potato finger food

If baby is starting to karate chop the spoon, perhaps finger foods are up next on the menu. One medium size sweet potato makes a heaping cup worth of finger food.

1. Wash, peel + dice 1 organic sweet potato. The size of the dice depends on how swanky your babe is.
2. Steam the chopped sweet potato in the Beaba by following these directions. I steamed for 4 minutes, so the chunks were soft but not falling apart.
3. Your baby will be all over feeding himself, so go ahead and give him a handful on his tray or loosely freeze in the sections of Fresh Baby Food Trays.

Ugh! Maybe i don't have time to make finger food?
It is faster to make your own finger food than buckle a baby into a carseat: 30 seconds to peel, 2 minutes to chop (small dice) and 4 minutes to steam. Presto.
