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.

Peach + Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes + Avocado + Chia Seeds
I usually find that while trying to get somewhere/anywhere, my play date, pool party or just going to the park, I forget all of the essentials. Sippy cups, snacks, sunblock, diapers (I swear I just loaded up the diaper bag, oh man). I am that mom, the one who is always asking to borrow something. Doesn't matter if it is from friends or strangers, I like everyone just the same. When packing snacks, I usually bring a couple chunks of cheese, maybe some Cheerios or crackers and if the babe is really lucky a banana. Then when she devores all of the snacks I brought by the time we have drove down the alley she gives me a look as if to say 'ok, that was lame but I ate it, so what else did you bring for me.' Then I end up buying some packaged food or kids meal wherever we end up, leaving me to wonder what she just ate and worrying that she will probably now never get into college because I just gave her a bag of chips for lunch. So I am going to get better at this snack thing. ...
