I have been both a busy working mom and a busy stay-at-home mom. After seeing the enormous benefits homemade baby food gave my own children, I was inspired to create a system that would give moms all the tools they need to make fresh, healthy, and delicious food for their babies in a fun and efficient way. Drawing from my own experiences and the guidance of a leading pediatrician, I developed Sage Spoonfuls to provide ideas, information and inspiration that will get you excited about making the healthiest food possible for your baby!

As parents, we only want the best for our children. By feeding them homemade baby food, we are not only giving them the most delicious and nutritious food-we are laying a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy choices. You don't need to be a chef, have a lot of time on your hands, or a kitchen full of fancy equipment to make your own baby food-in fact you'll be shocked at how easy it is with the Sage Spoonfuls system. By spending just 1 hour every 2 weeks, you can have a freezer stocked with healthy and delicious baby food. Instead of going to the store to buy baby food, you can simply "go shopping" in your freezer! The idea for Sage Spoonfuls was born 4 years ago, when I had my first baby. I searched high and low and could not find homemade baby food products that offered the ease of use, convenience and quality I was looking for. I created Sage Spoonfuls so parents would have a complete homemade baby food system. One that had the same convenience as store-bought, but with the enormous benefits of homemade. I hope you enjoy Sage Spoonfuls as much as I enjoyed creating it! Liza Huber has been both a busy working mom and a busy stay at home mom taking care of her 3 children. She has been making homemade baby food for many years and has seen the enormous benefits it has given her own children. This inspired her to create a system that gives moms all the tools they need to make fresh, healthy and delicious food for their babies. Drawing from her own experiences and the guidance of a leading pediatrician, she designed Sage Spoonfuls to fit the needs of all moms and their busy schedules. Before creating Sage Spoonfuls, Liza starred on the NBC daytime drama Passions. She also had the honor of being Miss Golden Globe in the year 2000. Her mother is Emmy-Award winning Susan Lucci of "All My Children". Liza and her husband, Alex, have been married since 2004. They have 3 children, Royce 4, Brendan 2, and Hayden 4 months.
Store bought baby food, including the organic brands, has a shelf life of about 2 years! In order to achieve this shelf life, the food needs to be sterilized. This is accomplished by heating it to very high temperatures to ensure food safety. While necessary for shelf life this process kills vitamins, nutrients, taste, color, and aroma in the process. Homemade baby food is higher in nutrients, tastes far better than store bought, and has the enticing aroma that will make your baby excited about eating. It can retain most of its nutritional value, taste, color, texture and aroma because it is only lightly steamed and not overcooked. In fact, most ripe fruits can be pureed without cooking, leaving all of the precious nutrients intact!

Depending on the brand, store bought baby food can cost two to three Introducing your baby to solids is not times more than homemade!
