I currently make most of my sons baby food (somethings are just easier to buy) I work full time, AND have an 11 year old. And yes I even find time to sleep! I honestly didnt even know that existed..huh. Looks cool as hell though. But for my uses it's a bit small.
I have to second the making it in big batches and then freezing it. That way you're only cooking hardcore every two weeks, if that (I would just make a big batch of carrots, peas, sweet potato's, fruits ..or whatever and then freeze it in cubes..then pop them in a ziploc bag in the freezer) Plus when doing it that way you have the added benefit of being able to mix it up easily for each meal, pop a carrot cube in with a peas, and a potato and viola..veggie sheppards pie (he loves it don't mock) Or even better when I make dinner for us, I just puree whatever is leftover and sharable and then freeze it in ice cube trays.
One tip, Trader Joes jarred mangos? Best thing ever, you can just mush em with a fork and they're ready to go.
