Yes, I read you here too...when my son was a baby I got the book "Super Baby Food" by Ruth Yaron...I didn't adhere to making ALL my own baby food, but I learned an awful lot about nutrition and food preparation, and I STILL use this book at least once a week. It is battered and dog-eared, and I can tell you the grain-to-water ratio of at least three whole grains and how to choose, store and prepare any veggie you throw at me...
