Homemade baby food? STMs

rfrazier611

I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but it dawned on me yesterday that since I'll be staying home for the entire first year unless something drastic happens, I might as well puree my own baby food rather than pay for the jars.  I like the idea of having total control over the freshness and contents of the food my baby eats and I love to cook anyway.  Have any STMs done this?  What has been your experience?  Did you just use a regular blender or food processor or did you get a separate appliance?  Any guidance would be most helpful.
