The first time around you may have been inspired to go out, buy a fancy food processor, bone up on your organic food chops and actually make your own baby food. Or if you were like me, you bought baby food at the store and shoved it into your baby's mouth whether she liked it or not.

Either way- you need to decide what your new family structure will allow for. Do you have time your second time around to make your own baby food? Or have you been feeling guilty about not going organic with your first and you want to with your second? I am feeling a bit guilty and decided to go organic when possible with Elkė. I definitely don't have time to make all of her baby food. Occasionally I do and am very inspired by certain recipes. Something as simple as mashed zucchini with a hint of nutmeg makes her giddy, but if I don't have time I know that I need to turn to someone who does. An online organic baby food delivery service.

We have been trying Jack's Harvest and love it. I have to say, now she sort of "poo poo's" any other food that is not from their service, or that I did not make fresh in the kitchen. I don't blame her because why would you want to eat peas from a jar when you could eat the greenest, freshest peas known to man with a hint of mint, courtesy of Jack's Harvest? Why would you want to eat store brand jar macaroni and cheese when you could eat pears blended with parsnip? Seriously. Babies love it and you will feel great knowing that you are giving them pure, healthy, fresh foods.

Jack's Harvest will deliver these delicious goodies packed in dry ice on a weekly basis if needed. You will receive the cutest little heart shaped frozen cubes that you simply place in the microwave for the suggested time and voila- a gourmet meal for your tiny love. They ship every Tuesday  so get your order in by Sunday night so that you don't miss another week of this delicious food!

Menus are available at their website and updated seasonally. The combinations will make your mouth water and I insist that you try a taste yourself right along with baby. You then will understand the freshness and value that comes with a service like this. Adding a cube to some ground up meat is a great way to get kids to eat additional protein, or nuke some of their organic veggies with some pasta to create some noodle fun! For simplicity you can order Jack's Packs in either smooth, tasty textures, or lumpy depending on what stage your baby is eating at, and their recipes are free of potential allergens like wheat, eggs, dairy, and nuts.

Jack's Harvest Frozen Organic Baby Food- because your baby has good taste!
