Sweet Potatoes!!

I have been waiting FOREVER for sweet potatoes to go on sale. At Walmart they are normally $1.12/lb, but I knew as Thanksgiving drew near that they'd go on sale. Finally the day came and they were marked down to .33/lb! I filled up three big bags. I love sweet potatoes myself, but my main purpose was to make baby food. I now have tons in the freezer and if they're still on sale, I might do more.

My first batch...


I decided it was easier to bake and peel, rather than peel, cut, and steam. It was nice to have the oven on too since it was a cold day.


The first batch yielded 4 ice cube trays plus 6 baby food containers (I kept 2 out for her to eat right away). To the right, you'll see summer squash that I made earlier this year. To the left is my meager supply of breast milk. I don't have the crazy oversupply like I did with Kelton and I work for every drop of it!



Lastly, I must brag on the boy's duck hunting adventure. Kelton was super excited and had no problem getting up at 5am, even though I have to drag him out of bed during the week. Hopefully Eric will make duck gumbo again soon. It's super tasty and awesome on a cold day.


And in case anyone is wondering, no, Katie is not sleeping and has not been in a very good mood lately. She's back to being up about every hour at night. I'm attributing it to teething.
