Tomato soup is one of those soups that you really can’t do wrong. You simply chop up tomatoes, toss them in a pot, add some liquid then puree and presto – Tomato Soup. Tomatoes are bursting with lycopene, beta carotene and vitamin C; all nutrients that babies benefit from greatly. Yet tomatoes and babies often [...]
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 [...]
Roasting veggies brings out their delicious, and sometimes sweet and nutty, flavor unlike any other form of cooking. Another great thing about roasting veggies is the lack of intense preparation needed! Yesterday I roasted some parsnips, purple-top turnips, carrots and 1 bulb of garlic – total delicious yumminess! I combined the prepared veggies with some [...]
During the Fall, I use the crock-pot a lot. When the weather begins to get colder and the kids’ activities begin to consume us, tossing a meal in the crock-pot is simple and we are rewarded with a nice warm and hearty meal. The crock-pot is also a great way to prepare fruits! I decided [...]
Sadly, I have made the last of the fresh raspberries purchased from a local orchard. This place not only grows super apples & pumpkins but grows strawberries, blueberries and luscious raspberries as well. While I’m sad that berry season is now truly over, there’s still reason to rejoice in all the foods of the Fall [...]
Between September and November, the cauliflower comes into season and you may find it at many farmer’s markets and also fresh in the grocery store. The cauliflower is one of those veggies that many have a love-hate relationship with. In my house, we’re fickle when it comes to cauliflower. Sometimes my kiddos will eat it [...]
Butternut Squash is one of our favorite Fall veggies. Preparing and cooking butternut squash can be a bit time consuming but the delicious end result is worth it! In a post last year I asked Is your pumpkin or winter squash puree plagued with hard strings? A few parents had emailed that their squash puree [...]
If you have ever opened a jar of commercial chicken meat baby food, you likely had the same reaction as many parents – ICK! Making your own homemade chicken baby food (puree or not) is as simple as baking some chicken, cooling it off and then whizzing it up! 1 baked chicken thigh and 1 [...]
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. Knowing that the power would be going out and that we have limited use of appliances with the generator, I decided to try some rice cooker oatmeal. This is just like making overnight crockpot oatmeal but without the overnight. Oatmeal is [...]
Fingerling Potatoes – totally finger food friendly! Several nights ago I roasted up some fingerling potatoes and thought what a great finger food these would make for babies and toddlers. The perfect size, with minimal prep work, simply wash & scrub then season and roast! Mix some applesauce or pears or even sweet potatoes with [...]
The maple trees are flowing with sap and the best maple syrup around is boiled down just 20 minutes from my house! As winter gives way to Spring, we always look forward to the sugar season and while it is almost wrapped up we are happily awaiting the promise of the warmth of Summer. Today [...]
