A few days ago on the WBF Facebook page, we were discussing babies and their gas/wind/toots. In particular, someone asked if sweet potatoes made anyone’s little one gassy. There were several people who replied that sweet potatoes did indeed cause gas and for some, it seemed to be painful gas. I was curious about other [...]

Today I am posting my recipe for homemade meatballs and tomato sauce. Tomato sauce for babies? For many of us, some sort of “pasta night” is a weeknight ritual. In my house, forgetting skipping this ritual meal means that I subject myself to lots of huffing and puffing; cries of “But it’s pasta night!” may [...]

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 [...]

Over the holidays I gifted myself a Cuisinart 14 cup Elite food processor. Even though my little Cuisinart mini-prep plus is still going strong, I want to expand my horizons. I want to start making more homemade foods like sauces, salsas, and do some shredding and slicing amongst other things that the mini-prep and my [...]

It’s New Year’s Eve and 2011 is about to be a part of our past (here on the East Coast U.S. that is) and many of you are already ringing in the New Year! The tradition of making a New Year’s resolution is one that I find rather silly and high-pressured. Most of the typical [...]

You probably already know that it’s not a good idea to introduce salt into a baby’s diet. I am a firm believer in allowing children to enjoy the natural tastes of foods free from salt and sugary additives. Herbs and spices are a healthier, more flavorful choice when deciding to enhance foods for children of [...]

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 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 am one of those people who just loves to get appliances and kitchen/tech gadgets for my birthday, Mother’s Day and Christmas. Now appliances are seldom thought of as romantic or thoughtful gifts and I know many of you might feel a bit insulted if you were to receive a new toaster as a birthday [...]
