It is just gorgeous outside. It’s amazing how much the weather can impact my mood. On days like this I just feel alive and as content as can be. Does the weather affect you? What kind of weather do you have today? I hope to plan a picnic for lunch or dinner to truly get to enjoy the outdoors. I am hoping the mosquitos are finally gone too. Because of all the rain lately, mosquitos are still in full swing.
This is what I served my six month old last night for dinner. I know it doesn't look gourmet. He had some shredded chicken with beans with a little kick (yes spice), roasted golden beets, roasted carrots with cinnamon and roasted sweet potatoes. They were all soft to chew on. Don't worry if your baby doesn't have teeth, his jaw is plenty strong to crush soft foods. I am skipping purées and opted to introduce loads of flavor and texture. I am doing things completely different this time! And I'm loving it!! Pickiness is on the rise and some of the reasons is processed baby food. It's ultra puréed without any lumps and bumps. It's generally also bland and mostly fruit. It's difficult for a baby to learn to eat veggies if they taste like pears. Don't fear introducing the same foods you are serving at home to your baby! You want him or her to eat what the rest of the family is eating. Say no to short order cooking! Skip the salt and honey and their isn't anything your baby can't eat. More than 75% of the salt we all take in comes from processed foods and going out to eat. Be careful when offering your little one food from a restaurant.
Enjoying life's simple pleasures. There is the most beautiful breeze. Our littlest one is strapped to me so he's apart of the action too. We've been enjoying a mini-staycation to celebrate birthdays.
I am doing everything different with this little guy. I was so afraid of feeding solids the first time around with my twins. Not this time! We are doing baby-led weaning (which I didn't know anything about the first time around) and you should see him attack whole broccoli florets, fruit and even lamb and whole roasted garlic! I'm going with bold flavors, spices and textures. There is a sweet spot between 4-7 months old where kids are most accepting of flavors, textures and foods. I'm going to use this phase to it's full advantage. This kid is going to love casseroles. I can't handle another one that needs ever meal deconstructed, which is normal for the age, but what a pain! I'm going mat my new baby's comfort level, but so far he is eating like a champ! This morning he had some prunes to help things along. It's a good food to get kids used to eating for those times when they are backed up, you'll want him or her to like eating prunes. I am not going to let feeding be stressful. I've come a long, long way in my own cooking skill set so this time I'm going to have fun with it! I want him to learn to eat what we are eating! What are some of your baby's favorite foods? #baby #babyledweaning #babyfood
Leeks and onions are wonderful prebiotic foods. Check out this super simple recipe on our site, link in bio. If you’re not familiar with the term prebiotic, it is a food that is not easily digested by your gut and that promotes growth of your beneficial bacteria and microorganisms in your intestines. Sounds appetizing doesn’t it? We need prebiotics for our probiotics to work better. We have more bacteria and microorganisms in our gut then we have cells in our body, a lot more! I have changed my thinking in the last year from how best to feed myself to how best to feed my gut bacteria. Why you ask? A healthy gut bacteria will allow me to take in more nutrients from food. Right now, they estimate that a healthy gut flora will allow us to take in 30% more nutrients and vitamins. Have a healthy gut flora also reduces the chances I will have leaky gut and/or inflammation in my body, which can further exacerbate my autoimmune disease. It’s better to eat leeks raw if you can. I just cut them up and add them to a salad. Onions can be cooked or raw to still get all the prebiotic benefits. Try not to caramelize them very often as that adds carcinogens to them. #healthyfood #prebiotic #healthyeating #nutrition #kidshealth #healthylifestyle #guthealth #leakygut

This is definitely a special treat. Whole Foods had lobster tails 50% off and I just had to splurge. I love to see my 3 year olds dig in! Since we don’t eat lobster often, we have to over come the “newness” of foods all the time, especially with seasonal food. Right now, my daughter won’t touch a watermelon, because she doesn’t remember how much she loved eating it from last year. And, my husband and I pressured her to try it knowing that when she did try it- she’s love it all over again. Huge mistake with my head strong daughter! Now, she’s dug her feet in and almost can’t lose face by trying it. Did you know? Studies show that when you pressure your child to eat, they actually will eat less. I’ve read these studies and I still did it! We all make feeding blunders, but it’s important to acknowledge it and then try not to repeat it. One of my favorite veggies is Brussels sprouts. I roast them with some bacon. Absolutely yum! My kids have taken a number of bites, but are not in love with Brussels sprouts. One day, I have hope they will love them as much as I do! Tip: Kids learn to love the foods you serve them often! Do you ever hear someone who grew up in the South go on and on about how they love Southern home cooking? My family is from another country so I love borchet soup and mackerel, which I used to affectionally call “stinky fish” but I ate it up with pumpernickel bread! How many Americans would say that is some of their favorite foods from childhood? Help your children learn to love a large variety of foods and don’t fall into the trap that they can only eat kid’s food like mac and cheese, hotdogs, nuggets and other kid favorite foods. Expose them to so much more and they will start eating so much more! #eatinggood #kidsfood #kidshealth #kids #parenting #pickyeater #fussyeater
