There are lots of "birdie bread"* recipies out there... this is the one that I use. It can be made ahead in very large batches and frozen in self-sealing plastic bags. For a nice selection of high quality utensils for making your own birdie bread, please check out our affiliate, JCR Marketing.
Mix dry ingredients in very large bowl, add grated yam or carrots and mix well. Put eggs, shells and all, into a blender, a few at a time. Blend till shell bits are very small and eggs are foamy; add to dry mixture. When all eggs are blended and added, mix well and pour into greased 9"x13" baking pan. Put in oven and turn heat to 350° F, set timer for 50 minutes (your cooking time may vary). Bread is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out dry. Set on rack to cool. When cool, break into pieces and run through food processor with blade attachment. If you plan to add coloring agents to the baby food, add while in food processor. Bag in single day serving amounts and freeze.
To serve, thaw overnight in refrigerator. You may want to sprinkle with poppy and/or thistle seed before freezing or after thawing.
*"Birdie Bread" is the name usually given to 'eggy' corn bread specifically made for feeding baby birds, and for conditioning their parents.
