Cottage Cheese + Fruit Bowl for Baby + Toddler
Cottage Cheese + Fruit Bowls are a fast and simple breakfast recipe for baby or toddler. This easy recipe can be made in the matter of minutes and with just about any fruit you happen to have on hand. Cottage cheese has a great thick texture which makes it easy for baby to use a spoon (or their hands) to eat. Great for 9+ months. Cottage Cheese + Fruit A fun, simple and easy breakfast for baby and toddler - cottage cheese and fruit bowls. Filled with whole-fat cottage cheese, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a handful of chopped fruit of your choice. This simple breakfast is full of protein, calcium, antioxidants and other essential vitamins and minerals for growing baby. I have found that babies tend to love the tart taste of cottage cheese. But if you find that it's just a bit too intense for their growing tastebuds, then I would try using frozen fruit instead of fresh in this recipe. Simply defrost any frozen fruit and save the naturally occurring juices. Take ...
Ellie’s Favorite Granola – Dried Blueberry + Coconut + Almond
This toddler and kid-approved Blueberry Coconut Granola will be a huge hit for breakfast or snacktime! This recipe all started a couple of weeks before my due date, during my crazy nesting filled days, which for me were equally about scrubbing the bathroom e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y to the point of being on the verge of OCD and at the same time preparing big batches of food that were enough to feed an army for after I delivered the baby. I admit I went a bit over the top. My bathroom has sense went completely downhill and my freezer is just at the point of being able to open without a dozen or so meals falling on my toes. It was during my heyday of preparing food, that I decided I needed to make not one granola recipe but three. And while I was at it, I should probably just go ahead and double or triple each of these recipes. Why not, right? Granola is always a good idea. This one was for my little Ellie, filled with some of her most coveted things - blueberries, coconut flakes and ...

Mini Blueberry + Rosemary Breakfast Bars
Breakfast in our house either goes one of two ways. The first being a lovely morning where we calmly sit down and enjoy a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, eggs or yogurt and fruit. We laugh, talk (mostly in baby speak), eat slowly and just enjoy each other. The other way, which happens more often then the first, is a complete cluster. We are late for something, the wee one is laying on the floor dying of being hangry, there is no plan for any sort for food and toast will just not cut it. These are the mornings that I need something healthy and portable. Something filled with fruit because that is about all the little one will eat these days. Something that doesn't leave a mess everywhere. Something that she can feed herself in the car seat, stroller or walking around the house while I frantically get ready. Oh, and it has to be healthy and filling. Too demanding? Nah. Then I found this amazing recipe from another mom blogger and I knew it would rock my world. I knew I had to try it ...
Peach + Blueberry Mini Muffins for Toddler
These Peach + Blueberry Mini Muffins are a flavorful and wholesome muffin for our toddler or kid! Self-regulate. That is what babies do. Hungry - they eat. Full - they don't eat. Sleepy - they fall asleep anywhere at any time. Not sleepy - they won't even bat an eye about not taking a nap for an entire day. I find this interesting to watch. Inspiring. Self-regulation is not something that I am good at. I will eat that cookie sitting on the counter no matter if I am hungry or not, I can take a nap at almost any time of the day. No problems. This is mostly because I am a lazy person who likes to eat sweets. I am ok with this. The wee one can go days with only a slight interest in food. A nibble here, a nibble there. Inspiring. So I was only a tad hurt when she passed not once on these mini muffins but twice. I mean, I made them from her favorite foods - blueberries and peaches. Which she usually pounds back by the bucketful. But mixed with whole wheat ...
