Can I use baby food for recipes in Deceptively Delicious?

I have a LOT of leftover baby food that my child (who's almost a year and a half old now) doesn't eat often anymore. I recently picked up a cookbook that calls for purreed veggies to make food healthier (I have a lot of sweet potato, carrot, and butternut squash baby food, as well as banana..all that the recipes calls for alot) Is babyfood the same thing, and could I use what's left of the baby food instead of purreeing for now?
