Does ANYONE Like Sandra Lee 3: Money-Saving MESSipes

I don't know...for me, the texture skeeves me out. Just like some people can't eat certain types of food because of the way they smell/taste/feel, I am that way about baby food.


LOL! It's not like it's dog food!:dog: I would not want my child eating anything I would not eat, myself...and probably did when I was that age.

Well, yeah, but when you mix it into things, it doesn't have that texture. Pureed food mixes in so smoothly that you aren't even aware it's there; it's almost liquid, after all.

I've made cakes with baby food; like I said, it's just like applesauce. It blends rights in and makes a cake (or muffins) moist. Plus when you use baby food carrots, the carrots are nitrate free, which usually can't be said of carrots you buy and prepare yourself. I made most of my kids' baby food, but you aren't supposed to make your own carrots for that reason.

I still don't get it. What's wrong with baby food?
I don't get it either. :slinkaway: Like Prancer said, it's just pureed veggies or fruit.

The carrot coconut though...I will agree with! :scream:

My thought is that while baby food is mega-healthy and all, it is also sold in tiny expensive little jars. So Nasty Sandy telling people to use baby food in a recipe instead of the non-baby-food alternative is just like how she tells people to buy a big jar of spice but only use 1/8 tsp of it, to scoop out premade pie fillings to make petit-fours, to use pre-chopped veggies instead of chopping their own, etc. etc. In other words, to use a really expensive and impractical ingredient whenever possible.

I have had recipes that use baby food in them. What's the big deal? :confused: It's just pureed food; no different from using applesauce.

Dangnabbit, woman, this thread isn't for your fancy book-learned pie charts! The only way we'll accept that is if you intend to muck up those pie charts with some Cool Whip and call them baked Alaskas.

I beg your pardon. Are you trying to tell me what I can and cannot post?

Is it working?

[Southpaw]

Hahahahahaha! Prancey totally smashed her Baked Alaska Pie Chart into jamesy's face like Nasty Sandy on a deep-fried vodka bender at the State Fair.
