If you are looking for a bright and tasty way to fix quinoa, then this recipe is definitely for you! Quinoa is a super seed though we often think of it as a grain. Known as a source of complete protein, quinoa contains lots of minerals, including 31 mg of calcium per cup, and folate [...]
Muffins. Do I really need to say more? Muffins can be sweet or savory, veggie or fruit and even meat-y. You can pack all of the food groups in a muffin and then, call it a meal Muffins are really nice for older babies and toddlers too. Of course us big kids could eat them [...]
I have almost gone through all of the baked/pureed pumpkin that I had frozen over the last 2 months. I have about 4 cups left which is just enough for bread, pumpkin-ricotta wontons and tiny cheesecakes. Last week I thawed out a container full and have been mixing it into yogurt. Yesterday I made myself [...]
I wish you could have been in my kitchen as this stock was simmering on the stove top! You could really smell the taste of warm chicken noodle soup, quinoa pilaf, chicken pot pie and so many other recipes that can benefit from a wholesome homemade stock recipe. Chicken stock can be a blessing during [...]
Using whole grains to make baby cereal or other grain based recipes is always better than using refined and enriched grains. Whole grains retain all of their natural and wholesome goodness. Because they are not highly processed and stripped of the parts that contain important nutrients, whole grains will offer the most bio-available nutrients for [...]
Homemade Baby Cereal tastes so much better than that pasty, cardboard stuff that pours out of a box! It’s very simple to make baby cereal and takes only a few minutes, especially when you use food from the side dishes you make. For example, I had leftover basmati rice last night and I also had [...]
My crockpot cracked a few months ago and I have not replaced it yet.

This is just like making overnight crockpot oatmeal but without the overnight. Oatmeal is [...]
So a few days ago we roasted some pumpkins and I know many of you out there did as well! I hope that you totally enjoyed the delicious smells wafting through your kitchens as much as I did. Now I wanted to share with you a few of the things I have done with some [...]
Here is another one of our favorite “exotic” grain breakfast cereal recipes. We love quinoa and have taken to calling it the “martian grain” due to its odd appearance when cooked. 2 cups of water 1 cup quinoa 1 apple – thinly sliced and diced handful of raisins – pureed or finely diced cinnamon How [...]
Oatmeal is one of our favorite comfort foods during the cold frigid winter months. Oatmeal has that warm “stick to the ribs” taste sensation that really warms us up the morning, afternoon or evening! Oats are high in fiber, calcium, protein and even some B vitamins so they are an excellent choice of grain to [...]
Favorite varieties of winter squash for baby food are the Acorn and the Butternut. These are the best choices for baby’s first squash experiences. These types of squash are great even if you start solids early at 4 months. While technically a winter squash, we think of it as a Fall squash as we begin [...]
We received 2 emails during the week asking about grinding rice for homemade baby cereal. I thought I’d clean the coffee grinder and post some images in response. Below I am using Basmati rice because that is what’s for dinner and that’s what I have to use up before I can move onto the brown [...]
