If you have ever looked in the baby food aisle, you might be a bit surprised by the lack of true variety to be had in jarred baby foods. The standard foods are there of course, foods such as squash, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, apples, bananas and meats too. Some surprises are to be [...]
The question of what to do with “leftover” homemade baby food purees is one that comes up all the time. For some babies, their infatuation with purees runs steaming hot then snaps quickly over to cold. Here is just one way that you could use up a sweet potato puree (or any other for that [...]
The other night we had steamed broccoli, brown rice and salmon for dinner. It was a quick meal to prepare and not fancy or gourmet at all. I love being able to throw together a meal that is simple yet delicious and nutritious. As my babies were exploring the wonderful world of solid foods, I [...]
Yes! It’s another winter squash post and I’m ok with the fact that you may be rolling your eyes a wee bit. Butternut squash is just such a nutritious and wonderful vegetable that I can’t help myself, especially during the Holidays. One of the best things about butternut squash is that it is a veggie [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
So tiny when all alone, separated from the rest of the pod, you’d never think that these little peas could cause homemade baby food makers such angst.
