This week, Bon Appétit Magazine is holding a “Kid’s Week”-featuring articles and recipes related to kids. They have been posting articles on their blog related to raising “healthy and happy eaters”; Adam Rapoport’s post says not to sweat it if your kid doesn’t eat vegetables and actually promotes a “tub of powder” veggie supplement, Jenny … Continue reading
You always hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day-for adults and especially for kids, but when you look at the breakfast aisle at the grocery store or even the freezer aisle it’s loaded with sugary options. I thought I’d come up with a healthy option for breakfast for adults and kids … Continue reading
Wondering if making your own baby food can save you money? Carrots provide a good answer to this question. Carrots are high on the list of veggies you should be buying organic according to the EWG list. If you shop at Cub, check out their organic section on so many occasions lately, I’ve been able … Continue reading
Since the pear puree was such a hit with Stella, I made a double fruit puree of pears and bananas. I used organic pears as they are pretty high on the EWG list of foods you should buy organic and regular bananas. Some recipes will have you remove the skins from the pears after cooking, … Continue reading
Recently we tried Pears and they were an immediate hit with Stella. I used organic pears as they are pretty high on the EWG list of foods you should buy organic. Some recipes will have you remove the skins from the pears after cooking, I leave them on and they chop up to such tiny … Continue reading
Well, Stella is no longer a vegetarian. I heard that lamb was a good meat to start with, apparently it is easier for babies to digest. I bought the meat at the St. Paul Farmer’s Market from Bar 5 Meat and Poultry from Arlington, MN. They have good policies on being hormone free and natural. … Continue reading
Spring is such an exciting time, but especially for us Minnesotans who can’t wait for the first opportunity to put on a pair of shorts and take the plastic off the insides of our house windows! And with Spring also comes the St. Paul Farmer’s market! The market opened this weekend and one of the … Continue reading
Well the rumors are true-babies love bananas, well at least Stella does. Based on the EWG’s organic list, bananas are a middle-of-the-road food. I opted to buy regular bananas. Stella loved the banana puree and it was a nice change after her Pea Puree protest. I kept a couple of the purees in the fridge … Continue reading
We’re moving on in the veggie world and this week we are trying peas! Peas are a great vegetable to make yourself, if you need convincing, check out the color difference between the jar and fresh puree! The fresh puree is a beautiful bright green! Based on my research on organic foods, frozen sweet peas … Continue reading
I decided that for Stella’s second solid food, she’d try Avocado, which according to most books is apparently a fruit-who knew! And according to EWG Avocado is low on the list for foods you need to buy organic so I just bought regular avocados. My family thought it was weird that I was feeding Stella … Continue reading
When I was pregnant I received several cookbooks on cooking for baby. Just like anything new, you really need to educate yourself. So I’ve been learning about what you can and can’t feed your baby. So I’ve been reading up on food schedules, the possible allergy foods and how to prepare and store your own … Continue reading
In the last two years I have really given serious thought to the things I have been putting into my body but also the environmental hazards I expose myself to. During my pregnancy with Stella, I cut out many questionable things including artificial sugar and wouldn’t expose myself to household chemicals or paint. I even … Continue reading
