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 [...]

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 [...]

Well we’re officially on a smoothie kick in my house. The best part about smoothies is that you can turn them into whatever you want them to be! Blend it up and drink it, freeze it for popsicles, add it oatmeal in the morning, let baby practice with a spoon, or use it as a “dip” [...]

We’re heading out on our first camping trip of the season. I hope everyone has a safe and happy July 4th weekend. Here’s one “dessert” we’ll be having. This is very tasty, way too simple to make and pretty to look at too – for babies who can have dairy and strawberries/raspberries. Red White & [...]

We’ve hit a heat wave here in New England but I’m not looking for snow just yet! The boys are home for the summer so it’s been crazy around here. They were looking for a frozen treat this morning but I didn’t have anything to offer. As they were eating their morning yogurt, one of [...]

Another email to share with you all today. This one was written to ask why we suggest giving baby plain whole milk yogurt and then adding your own fruit purees to it. We do this for a few reasons: Flavored yogurts are seldom made with whole milk and baby should have whole milk yogurt and [...]

This post is prompted by an email we received 2 days ago from a visitor. She sent in the following: I found your site by Googling “Can Toddlers eat Activa yogourt”, the reason being that my husband bought Activa for our 18 month old recently instead of Stonefield YoBaby. Soon afterwards he started suffering diarrhea [...]
