Baby Bullet Review And Recipes ? Here and There ? A New Jersey ...

Old habits die hard. I eat too fast. I don?t chew enough. Neither helps my diet or my digestion. Still I am trying to turn things around.

Obese for most of my adult life, I decided enough was enough and started to take control two years ago. It was not for previous lack of effort ? diets, meal plans, rx?s just weren?t enough. They never staved my constant hunger. Since all else had failed, I opted for bariatric surgery creating an egg-sized food pouch instead of a huge cavernous opening . The lap band was a success, and the weight came off.

BUT?no bread, no rice, no pasta (they swell) coupled with problems digesting any fried food, most meats, gassy vegetables, and acidic fruits limit nutritional choices. Thank goodness for protein shakes. They help build muscle as fat shrinks away. Love the inch loss that comes with the disappearing pounds.

What do I eat? Soups, all kinds of potatoes, tuna, chicken, applesauce, bananas (chopped, mashed, pureed) are friendly; however, most restaurant menus aren?t. So when dining out my entree of choice is salad cobb style, chopped fine with moderate dressing. I could eat them daily except I hate cutting and prepping.

My kitchen has lots of small electrical appliances?huge blender with a lifetime guarantee still not fixed since I called a year ago, counter mixer with loads of attachments, coffee mill, fountain machine, frozen drink machine, food processor, and mini chopper ? all impractical and awkward to use in making my special foods.

Enter the Baby Bullet ? I like it so much that I am keeping it for myself. I planned to pass it to middle son who is having a baby; correct that to middle son?s love of his life. (I?ll get back to that later.) Power base, milling blade, baby blend blade, batchbowl, short cups, spatula, resealable lids, batch tray, date-dial storage cups, storage tray, and pocket nutritionist and user manual/cookbook make for quick prep, easy cleanup, Plus, they are the perfect size for the entrees and sides I prepare for myself. I can make a whole batch then refrigerator or freeze it instead of doing the same old, same old daily tiring of wasting what I have made, seeing it spoil, throwing it away.

Take my roast chicken leftovers, for example. What a tasty creamy soup the fine pureed batch will become when mixed with fresh veggies! What a yummy salad the chunkier batch will become when mixed with celery, onion, pepper, and mayo.

Back to the upcoming blessed event. I am ecstatic that the couple has chosen to invite hubby and me to share the upcoming blessed event with them. Early bonding sets the stage for a lifetime of relationships.

Things were tight for me economically when I had my babies. I remember making most of my own baby food the way my mother did for me. So I figured that Baby Bullet would be a perfect gift that would carry through the early years. I think natural is best. What could be better than pure fresh fruit and veggies without fillers and chemical additives?

Making baby food from scratch has to be better than the stuff on the shelves in the stores. It is certainly more economical than bottles and jars. It?s what moms and dads fed their kids before baby food was invented. It is also a perfect use for last night?s leftovers, too little for meal or snack. Consider the foods you regularly keep in your kitchen, produce like sweet potatoes, peas, apples, bananas. Have it your way from smooth thin puree to chunky finger like pieces. Cut the sugars; cut the salt. Do it fresh, organic, nutritious, non-toxic, BPA free.

The Baby Bullet Pocket Nutritionist, Your Grocery Store Companion, Hi Risk Allergy Foods, Low Risk Allergy Foods, Safest First Foods, Choosing the Best Foods (by vegetable, benefit, and selection process) as well as the food chart and feeding schedule for year one are great reading musts for all parents especially ones expecting their first.

So?since I am keeping MY BB, I guess it is time for me go to on a shopping trip. Available online and in retailers like Kohls, Target, Walmart, Bed, Bath and Beyond. the Baby Bullet lists for $79.99 and carries a one year limited warranty.
