After scrubbing the outside of my yams, I wrapped them in foil, and baked them at 375 degrees for about an hour. When I took them out, they were perfect, the skins were peeling off.
I scooped out the insides with a fork and gently mashed them up in a bowl. I added a little ginger and a bit of breast milk to make them a bit more creamy for my lil guy. Adding breast milk is not necessary, if you bake them, they will be the correct consistency.
I stirred it all together and I had the perfect yummy lunch! My yams seemed a little stringy, but I just stirred and mashed a little more and my baby had no problem. I put the rest into jars in the fridge, and we are good with a weeks worth of food.
My next adventure is to make some green foods. The only green food I have given him so far in mashed avocado, I have yet to do beans or peas. If you have a good green baby food recipe, please share!

Tate loved sweet potatoes, that was by far his favorite!! I cooked them the same way too. He also like peas quite a bit, I just did plain frozen peas, steamed them and mashed away.
