I really loved making home-made baby food for my little girl. Before I started I thought it would be too much trouble and difficult. I quickly found it was fun, easy, and it was nice to know exactly what was in her food. Baby Cubes were really helpful when I took the food to go. I froze the food in the cubes and when I went out, put one in the diaper bag. By the time I needed the food they were defrosted. You can buy them here.
