Broccoli + Asparagus Baby Food Puree with Tarragon
This Broccoli + Asparagus Baby Food Puree, or Super Green Power Puree as I like to call it, is filled with 3 different green vegetables and rounded out with a touch of pear sweetness and refreshing tarragon. Using the Babymoov Nutribaby this puree is a done in a snap and is a must make puree for any baby (or toddler)! Did you survive the craziness??.. Halloween followed up with daylight savings! Holy Moly! It was like a double hitter - excess of sugar and lack of sleep! I would like to say that my family and I cruised through Halloween with just a little extra sugar and an extra servings of vegetables, but this is not the case. We do up Halloween! CANDY! COSTUMES! BOOZE (for the adults)! We eat candy, and a ton of it. This happens one day a year, so we go all out, and I am pretty sure Ellie has eaten her body weight in candy! Obviously, she (and the rest of us) was a mess the day after. Which means, it is time now time for a huge heaping serving of green vegetables! ...
Peach + Blueberry + Vanilla Bean Mini Muffin
Self-regulate. That is what babies do. Hungry - they eat. Full - they don't eat. Sleepy - they fall asleep anywhere at anytime. Not sleepy - they wont 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 anytime 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. Nibble here, 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 flour, a drizzle of honey and a blade full of vanilla bean. Not interested. The third time, I think she got over the scary ...
How to: Oatmeal for All Ages
I have this deep seasonal passion for oatmeal that goes beyond anything on a normal level. Every Fall, I open the cabinet and see my glass jar full of those big flaky oats and get excited. Really excited. It's time to get reacquainted with an old friend. You know the kind of friend I'm talking about, the kind where you start talking and then you look up at your clock and 3 hours have gone by, your ear hurts and your phone is beeping the low battery sign. That kind of friend. I open the jar, smile and start simple. Oats, apples and cinnamon. Just taking it out for a test drive. Then as the season lingers on, I find different methods of cooking oats and different toppings to pile onto the oats. I can't get enough of it. They are easy. They are healthy. Oatmeal is my jam. Oatmeal for babies is a no-brainer. It is a whole grain that is packed with soluble dietary fiber, iron, magnesium and vitamin B. A clean food that some people argue is the best food you can eat for breakfast. ...
Turkey + Beets + Carrots + Cilantro Mini Burgers
Here's to a day where we are not supposed to work, a day of rest. Well resting and eating. Two of my favorite things. In my opinion, we need more of these days. Days for doing nothing. For being with our family and not having to get any errands done, any work down, any laundry done, any workouts done, any life done. Just relaxing and eating. Let's ban together and get every Monday off or this cause. Too much? Maybe just the first Monday of every month. Perfect. Since we all just agreed to do nothing today. We certainly don't want to be in the kitchen cooking all day. Remember, relaxing and eating. So I'm sharing one of my all time favorite recipes that is perfect for days like these. It is a snap to make and everyone will devour these turkey burgers up, including picky eaters that don't usually touch green things or vegetables. The key is grating the beets and carrots into the burger, adding color and texture but not taking away for the turkey burger itself. The yogurt, while it ...
