Easy-Peasy 5 Veggie Pasta for Baby + Toddler
This Easy-Peasy 5 Veggie Pasta is a nutritious and flavorful meal for baby and toddler! Great for baby-led weaning or the finger food stage! 6+ months and up. This wholesome dish is made by tossing together your favorite pasta, a whopping 5 different veggies and a simple yet delicious basil dressing. For the veggies, I used a mixture of frozen corn, carrots, peas, green beans (I chopped them before cooking) and red peppers but you can use whatever frozen or fresh veggies you have on hand or that baby or toddler prefers. You should have everything on hand to make the super simple (yet favorable) basil dressing that is made with dried basil, garlic powder and olive oil. If you have fresh basil on hand, you can totally use a tablespoon of chopped fresh basil in place of the dried basil, but my kiddos tend to like the dried basil version better in this dish.

There is nothing like spreading a little love during Valentine’s Day ♥️ One of the ways I love to share my love, is through food - delicious and healthy food! And that means, I get up extra early and make my girls a special school lunch on Valentine’s Day (I completely acknowledge that I am that type of crazy mom, but I’m just rolling with it:). I try to make these lunches as healthy as I can, because somewhere between when I was in elementary school and now (if you asked my girls that would be a 1 million years ago), Valentine’s Day has now become the new Halloween - soooooooo much candy! For this lunch, I packed it full of healthy fruits, veggies, complex carbs and some protein to keep my girls full and satisfied for their afternoon Valentine’s Day parties. I’m hoping the naturally sweet fruit will ...

Rainbow Peppers + Feta Quiche
Quick and easy rainbow peppers + feta quiche is a kid friendly breakfast that can be re-heated in seconds for a healthy meal on-the-go!! Let me set the record straight. If you really looked at my meal plan from last week you would notice that this weekend we have a camping weekend scheduled. That is still sorta happening... But instead of going up to the beautiful Rocky Mountains that are 30 minutes from my house to pitch a tent (the same one we haven't used since pre-kids that may or may not still be usable), hike and look at all the trees doing their color changing thing, we are instead pitching a much smaller tent in our own backyard. So we are camping - urban camping, if you will. Which means that hubby and Ellie are sleeping in the tent and Parker and I are sleeping inside <----- when I put it that way, I am not camping at all! Buuuuuuuutttttttt...... I am still making a ton of camp food and planning on seriously partaking in that activity. I am giving myself ...
