Crock Pot Baby Food

Today our Spook is 6 months old.  To celebrate,  we're going to introduce solids.  I've been making baby food out of produce we have around the house, and I had a novel idea.  Why not throw the stuff in the crockpot?
I actually read today that leaving the skins on while cooking retains more of the nutrients.

So I tried it, I used some sweet potatoes and a couple apples that needed to be used up. Just threw them in the crock pot with about a 1/2 cup of water. 

I froze in this fancy dancy flexible slicon tray.  They each yield 1 oz cubes, so it's easy to know exactly how much baby E's getting.  It worked fabulously!
