Infant Dinners: Prepping Finger Foods

April 15, 2013

Oliver is officially a finger food lover. We had been dabbling to keep him happy in the seat and allow us time to eat but then he got impatient with the purees too. Add to that, daycare was STOKED about him doing finger foods and I was told to start sending it along ASAP. We have been [...]

Kidlet Dinners: Salad Bar Nation

April 2, 2013

Kid food. I have slowly become quite passionate in the last 3.5 years. What started as a way to save money on baby food quickly turned into a love for introducing my child to a variety of healthy foods. I enjoyed chopping, steaming and pureeing even with a busy working mom schedule. I made it [...]

Toddler Dinners: Pizzeria

March 25, 2013

Ever since my food documentary marathon, I have been trying to find ways to teach Landon about food. Books, going to the grocery store, letting him help stir things. All little things to make him appreciate the kitchen and food. He really seems to enjoy it. He really seems to like grocery shopping with me [...]

Food For Thought

If you have been following me on Twitter and Facebook lately, you will have noticed my binge on Netflix documentaries about food. With 3 sick days between me and Ollie, I overloaded on them and with that, took a lot away to think about. I could write for days about my rants and raves but [...]

Infant Dinners: Getting Organized {Free Printables}

One major component to making your own baby food is keeping stock of it all. Add to the mix, my crazy Type A ass, and you get festive means in doing so! I make lists and probably micromanage my children’s food, but it helps me…STOP JUDGING ME! I like to think I am just really [...]

Infant Dinners: Eating the Rainbow

February 11, 2013

One theme with feeding littles early on is “feed the rainbow”. By providing a variety of foods, you give them tons of nutrients and open them up to new foods for years to come. Different colors usually come to represent a new set of goodness for them. This is kind of engrained into me for [...]

Infant Dinners: The Bottomless Pit Named Oliver

February 6, 2013

Oliver eats a lot. I am starting to refer to his feedings as The Golden Corral. He loves food just like his brother did. We can’t shovel it in fast enough. He is still lacking some coordination (just not old enough) and can’t reliably get enough to his mouth on his own and gets aggravated [...]

Infant Dinners: The Poop Equilibrium

January 21, 2013

Oh poop. Back to the days of being defined by poop. I remember this well with Landon. The balance of binding foods with non-binding foods. I spent YEARS counting the amount of bananas and cheese to the amount of spinach and peaches. When I talk about this with some new moms, they look at me [...]
