This hearty beef and vegetable stew that can be made in the slow-cooker is a family favorite. It is also the backbone for an excellent beef soup, if you actually find yourself with leftovers.

Turkey Baby Food

Turkey Baby Food

Turkey is a great first meat for babies because it's easy to digest, and the dark meat is high in much-needed iron. Making your own baby food is quite easy, even with turkey! I recommend freezing what you don't use within a day or two — then you'll have little meals at the ready whenever your baby is hungry. Store for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator or freeze for later use.
