How Much Baby Food do the Twins Require Every Week?

77 Jars!!!!
Of course, this excludes bottles - at 5 milk bottles each a day and 1 juice cup,
that equals 70 bottles and 14 sippy cups every week!
We won't even get into the diapers....

C'mon, man. Our daycare accepts frozen veggie cubes we make for ourselves.

Money-savin' recipes:

Summer squash or spaghetti squash.: Scoop out seeds. Put in covered dish with 2" water in it. Microwave for like 20 minutes. Put in blender. Blend the hell out of it.

Spoon into ice cube trays, freeze.

Once they're frozen, pop out of trays into gallon freezer bag. Grab 2 per kid, nuke, no prob.

Works with carrots, broccoli, peas, and sweet potatoes, too; you may have to mix half 'n' half with applesauce to make it tasty enough to eat.

Applesauce is applesauce. One giant no-sugar-added jar is fine; we burn through one every 3 weeks or so, even now. It's a good mixer for weird veggies, too.

The other good part of veggies in the freezer is that you can throw chunks of soft tofu into the blender with the veggies, to add protein.
