My husband is a big fan of Vietnamese Pho. A couple months ago (I’m behind in writing posts!) we tried out a little family-run restaurant within walking distance from our apartment. The boys loved it! Pho, for those who don’t know, is a rice noodle soup with bits of beef, then you add basil, jalapenos,…
We went to the Farmers Market on Thursday and scored a bunch of fresh local fruit. I finally decided to let Kaitlynn try strawberries. I have been nervous because with my first born strawberries were a no no till 12 months (because of the pesticides). I decided that is lame. So we stripped her down to…
One of the best perks to baby-led weaning is being able to easily feed Sebastian on the go. He is getting to an age where we do tote around some snacks as he is hungry often, but when we stop for a meal he gets to share in the experience and just have what we’re…
Last week Kynlee ate steak & corn-on-the-cob. It was her first time trying either of these and I really enjoyed watching her enjoy them both! Kynlee started with the corn and she was sucking it clean! We were eating at my parents’ house that night and dad had grilled steaks. I…
I’ve been making the best pork breakfast sausage recipe for well over a year and it’s wonderful. I also have this spicy breakfast sausage recipe which has a little bit of a different flavor than my original maple one. Since Anneliese loved my spicy pot roast, I decided to make her the spicy version. The…
Asparagus is one of those foods that’s naturally perfect for baby led weaning, by virtue of its shape. It’s very easy for little hands to hold, and my daughter was able to flip it around to taste each end very easily, because it is long. I roasted some asparagus for my husband’s and my dinner,…
Some people think that giving berries or citrus or whatever “too early” can cause allergies to those foods, but I’m good with it. So when some strawberries came in our farm basket, I of course let Anneliese try them out while I washed and prepped all of the fruits and veggies for the week. She…
My girl has been teething for so long now, it’s like a constant state of being for her. She’s working on her top four middle teeth at once, and her gums are sooo swollen. I give her all sorts of homeopathic goodies to help her feel better, and ibuprofen when it’s really bad. But she…
Anneliese tried Ricotta cheese for the first time today. I used it in my family’s Easter pie recipe (a traditional Italian thing – meat and cheese pie) but the pie has eggs in it… and since I was allergic to egg whites as a baby, I am trying to wait to give them to her….
Often, I give Anneliese things one at a time. But sometimes I like to give her several foods at once and see what she chooses, what her reactions are, and what she prefers. This time I gave her deli turkey, a cylinder of cucumber, a red bell pepper slice, and a hunk of steak. The…
