Crock Pot Carrots

So, as I mentioned in my post about peachy pears, I'm continuously looking for ways to gain efficiencies (can you tell I work with logistics?) when making baby food.  It hit me that during the winter I let our crock pot run all day long, making soups for dinner.  Why not cook baby food overnight, let it cool during the day, and blend it in the evening?  Genius! 

While watching one of my DVR'd episodes of the Voice (I am SOOO behind since I never have a moment to sit anymore), I washed, peeled, and chopped organic carrots.  It actually was a very enjoyable evening task.  The nice thing about this was that I didn't have to dime the carrots.  I chopped each carrot into about 5 or 6 sections, then tossed it in the crock pot.  I added about 1C of water, then set it on low and let them cook overnight.  The next morning I turned it off to cool slightly while I got ready for work, then stuck it in the fridge.  Later that evening I pureed the carrots and froze in ice cube trays for the upcoming weeks.  Very simple and time effective!
