These wholesome Apple Cinnamon Muffins are filled with whole wheat, fiber rich apples, pecans, dried cranberries and heart-healthy olive oil. While I first made them for a healthy snack for the girls, they have quickly become our favorite go-to breakfast on crazy mornings. It's Muffin Monday peeps!! Who's excited?!?! Nah.. you didn't miss anything, there really is no such thing. But in my world, there should always be a warm pan of muffins sitting on your counter and ready to eat on the most dreadful day of the week - Monday morning. So glad we can agree on that!

Broccoli + Olive Oil Puree Baby Food Recipe
This Broccoli + Olive Oil Baby Food recipe is a great way to introduce healthy green vegetables into baby's diet. A delicious puree full of essential vitamins and healthy fats for growing baby. If you're looking for an easy green starter puree for baby, this is it! Great baby food for 4 months and older - stage 1 baby food! Broccoli just isn't my thing.

I won't let my weird aversion to an awesome vegetable deter my baby from being able to experience and make a judgement for herself on whether she likes it or not. She will probably love it and then hold it over my head for ...
Roasted Yellow Squash with Olive Oil + Cilantro Baby Food Puree
This fun and tasty Roasted Yellow Squash + Olive Oil with Cilantro Baby Food Puree will be a hit with your little one! Creamy, rich and full of flavor, it's hard not to love this amazing puree. Great baby food for 4 months and up - stage 1 baby food. There is something so magically summer about yellow squash. Maybe it's their color. Or maybe it is the way they can be plucked off the vine, still warm from the afternoon sun, mixed with a little olive oil then roasted and used as a side to almost anything you are making for dinner. Or possibly, it's the fact that when yellow squash are in season, they are in season! They are like the rabbits of the vegetable family. They just keep coming and coming. In abundance. With force. In shear numbers that are on the edge of creating an army. And just when you think you have had your fill, suddenly a whole new crop pops up and you have a million more to consume before they go bad. This is where I step in, ...
