To Cut Down on Preparation Time - For items such as Cranberries and Lemon…
- I chop (the finer the better) enough of the foodstuff in the food processor to last several days to a week;
- Then I put the chopped food in containers - plastic (BPA free) or glass;
- I leave the appropriate sized measuring spoon in the container – this little convenience makes it faster to prepare the meal at feeding time.
