There are times when little ones seem to be completely disinterested in eating any solid foods. This can be frustrating for us, particularly when we have lovingly slaved taken the time to prepare a variety of homemade foods. I think it’s important to remember a few things about why babies and kids may not want [...]
Tonight I roasted some cauliflower to dinner. Did you know that the “flower” of the cauliflower is actually called a curd? When selecting cauliflower from the grocery store, it is important to purchase a cauliflower that is almost completely wrapped in its green leaves.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
