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,…
I haven’t posted in awhile because I feel like, at least for my experienced eater, BLW has turned into just plain eating at this point. Sebastian eats like a toddler, usually a major grazer, which is perfectly fine. It is totally normal for babies to eat less as their rate of growth slows down. Sebastian…
Today was one of those days where no amount of MMP (Mummy’s Military Planning) would make things go smoothly and follow the schedule I’d set out in my head. We missed the 4pm deadline when the supermarket closes to do this week’s big shop. It meant I had very limited food in the fridge and…
Recently we took Blake out for his first meal where we were to pick something for him to eat from the menu. This was a huge deal for me. I have spent months making absolutely everything he eats myself, from scratch but my husband and I decided it was time to take him out into…
This past week my mother was in town visiting. She doesn’t come out this way often, so we always make the hour drive to a small, popular Brasilian cafe when she’s here. With no high chair, we had to feed Baby J on our laps. He had a sampling of each of our plates, but…
I put my baby on solid food last week! My baby – that teeny tiny thing that..oh! wait a sec.. he’s not that teeny tiny any more, huh? At 5 1/2 months to the day, M started his food exploration with a cucumber… And he’s since progressed to melons and figs, too they were fun!…
I love my slow cooker! It allows me to chop chop chop the night before, bung it all in the cooker in the morning and get on with my day without worrying about rushing back to get dinner started. This was the first time I had made vegetarian chilli for Blake and I decided to…
This post will be short and sweet. About 1.5 months ago (yeah, I’m late posting) Kynlee tried sushi for the first time! She loved it. We were out to lunch with my sister and best friend at my favorite Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi restaurant. Please excuse the blurry/bright cellphone pictures. I’d left my camera in…
Last night Sebastian tried corn on the cob for the first time. (These photos were taken during a brief power outage so they are a little washed out.) He mostly nibbled the kernels on the edges but clearly really liked it. This particular corn was grown in Grandma’s garden, making it extra special. Most foods…
My daughter’s first food is basil. That’s right. Basil. And she’s four months old. You might be asking, “Why?” but what you should really be asking is, “How?” You see, in the morning, while I’m making breakfast, I set Phoebe on the counter in her little chair so that she can watch me at work,…
