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 leaves protect the tender curd from bruising and mold. The [...]
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 [...]

Did you know that babies and toddlers love to explore food not only with their fingers and mouths, but with their eyes as well? As your baby gets older, sometimes the colorful and creative presentation helps get him/her interested in actually trying the food. This super easy “hearty” recipe really “pops” with interest and looks [...]

According to the Seed Savers Exchange, the Parisian market carrot (Daucus carota), is a nineteenth-century French heirloom. It grows early in the season and can be a red-orange color. These sweet little carrots are about 1-2″ [...]
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 [...]
The parsnip is a root vegetable. While many root vegetables, indeed most vegetables, wither and die when the frost sets in the ground, the parsnip actually shines! The flavor of parsnips, and their texture too, improves after the first frost. The chilling cold of the frost seems to force the natural sugars outward as the [...]
One of the tastiest and most nutritious first foods that you can feed to your baby is winter squash. Just 1 cup of baked butternut winter squash has an average of 28mg of calcium and 22868 IU of Vitamin A – Now that’s a lotta nutrients! For my winter meals, the more squash the better [...]
Last night I had one little butternut in the bin, hardly enough to bake up as a side dish. I also had a Macintosh apple sitting on the counter that I pulled from the crisper because it was a bit bruised. My intention was to make parsnip and carrot fritters but instead, I made use [...]
If you have read the White Potatoes for Baby Food page on the main WBF website, you know that I am not a big fan of feeding younger babies this little spud. I think it’s important to offer up foods that have the most nutritional bang, especially for those little ones between (4)6-8 months of [...]
