I made all my babies first foods....I used ice cube trays with a lid and a plastic bottom & I bought something like this http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=537637&parentCategoryId=85181&categoryId=85206 She is all about snacks now, so those containers work perfect for cheerios, and are great to throw in the diaper bag as I run out the door!
But, I did try some store bought puree's for travel...
I LIKE:
*Sprout Organic Baby foods--they taste GREAT, nice simple ingredients and flavor--plus get baby used to our tastes and spices and they travel well, and the big plus is they are made by chef Tyler Florence--such a cutie! :)

*Gerber Organic Smart Nourish Foods--taste good, simple ingredients, good little containers and travel well.

I did NOT like Ella Baby food, my daughter always seemed to get sick afterwards :(
Taste OK, Travel Great, but I don't know why..baby always got a sick tummy after the food!!

For my babies first foods, I made all of her first foods. It made me feel good, since I worry non stop...plus have you tried to eat that stuff they make for kids? YUK. Baby loves mango and avacado! So weird, I bet I did not have avacado or mango until I was in high school! I would take the food, cut it up in tiny pieces, cook it with a little pre-boiled water on the stove top or roast in over....and then puree it. let it cool and put in the freezer! Easy!
The left over cubes of pureed food work great now as a fruit ice pop for her teething--http://www.amazon.

And, have you read Jessica Sienfiel's cook book? http://www.amazon.com/
I have made a few of her recipe's and they ARE GOOD!
I bought one of those small cuisinart's for her food. Works great. She is just moving up to table foods now, I take our meal and just chop up a little portion--she is "stage 3" and doing really well with most foods.She has the mashing and the finger grasp down. I always laugh when I feed her, she likes to play in it--I let her get all messy, it is too funny not to let her have at it! I think she might be allergic to pumpkin or curry, she had a little rash after she shared some soup i made with me last week, but it could have just been coincidence...I will try again later and really watch to see. I was nervous about eggs but we just tried egg yolks and that went fine , so far so good!
