Quinoa With Beets

P1100944

This is a picture from a month or so ago, shortly after we started BLW with Baby J. You’ll notice he’s sitting in a bumbo chair…this was taken before he could sit up unassisted. As I mentioned in our introduction post, because J had all the other readiness signs we started BLW once he could…

Applesauce and Rice Cake

P1100886

One afternoon while M was napping, I decided to let Baby J have at it with a bowl of applesauce. I’m not sure he got a whole lot in his mouth, but he enjoyed playing with it! About halfway through I got the idea to break apart a rice cake and give him the pieces….

Greek-inspired chicken with cucumber yogurt sauce

Sebastian munches on a cucumber slice

Sometime last week my darling husband pulled together this meal: Rice with cucumber yogurt sauce, (spicy) chicken and veggies. Unfortunately I didn’t realize just how spicy this chicken was until I gave Sebastian a fat piece and he started grabbing at his mouth and crying. OOPS. Luckily there was plenty of rice and sauce to…

Park Pineapple & String Cheese

BLW String Cheese

This week marked our first couple of visits to the park with Sebastian and it has me pumped for summer. Outdoor eating is perfect for baby-led weaning. There is something so idyllic about packing a picnic basket and no cleanup is a HUGE bonus. On our first trip to the park – Sebastian’s first ever!…

Spicy!

So tonight I made lasagna! (It was SUPER delicious by the way!) And in my husbands family if you have lasagna you also have Italian sausage. So tonight we did just that.  But here’s the thing. It.Was.Spicy. Ok not THAT spicy, but it had a little kick to it. For me it was just right….

Sticky rice restaurant lunching

Giving an appetizer spring roll a taste

One of the biggest perks of baby-led weaning, in my opinion, is the ease of eating out. When we go out to eat, I don’t pack jars of ‘baby food’ or toys to keep Sebastian busy – We just bring a bib. No matter where we are dining, there is always something suitable for Baby…

Chicken, Broccoli & Cheese Casserole

First taste of the casserole...

A few weeks ago I made a Chicken & Broccoli (& cheese!) casserole. It was a last minute decision and I’d never made it before but I figured it’d be simple enough and (hopefully) delicious! I’m here to say that it was simple and it was delicious…and Kynlee thought so, too, apparently!…     And…

If you have more than one child, you probably realize that in a few years everything that was safe or not safe is the complete opposite with your next child.  At least that is how it feels for me. Example- when my son was eating it was “highly recommended” to wait on any citrus type…

My baby eats beef tacos with sour cream

Sebastian holds onto his homemade taco

That title comes from the fact that I’ve been receiving some negative comments about BLW lately. I will have to make that a post of its own but basically some other moms aren’t so keen on the fact that I’m not afraid to give Sebastian sugar and spice and everything nice. Today’s vice? Oh-so-good greasy…

Raw Carrot Sticks

Carrot

A couple weeks ago I posted this picture in the BLW Faces section. I fully intended on writing an actual post about it, but time slipped away from me and then the pictures wouldn’t upload. After much advice to use Windows Live Writer, we’re back in business. So here it is. Kynlee’s first time trying…
