I am a SAHM but as many of you know that is a full-time job in itself. Typically I don’t cook a big lunch; instead, we have quick lunches. That doesn’t mean it has to be frozen TV dinners that you just pop in the microwave. One of my “go-to” lunches for Kynlee, if…
My husband has been away and even though I LOVE to cook, I cook less when he’s not here. Part of it is that it’s difficult to keep up with cooking, doing all the dishes, and keeping Anneliese occupied or happy the whole time. Even with babywearing, it’s not easy all the time. So at…
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…
I’ll definitely post the (very simple) recipe for these chicken fingers soon. Anneliese LOVED them. She picked up the broccoli first, but threw it on the floor after one taste of the chicken (and she loves broccoli!). Then throughout the meal, she only wanted chicken. More and more chicken! I was eating mine dipped in…
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…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The best part of BLW is not worrying about what you are going to feed your baby. For Mother’s Day, we spent the day at the beach. We took picnic food and didn’t worry about packing baby-specific food. Ben had blueberries cut in half, which was…
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…
We’ve been slowly adding more meals to Ben’s diet. He’s still not actually ingesting a ton, but I’m okay with that. Right now, I like getting into the habit of mealtimes. It’s been easy to add him to breakfast and dinner, since those are meals we usually sit down and eat. Lunch, however, is a…
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…
Today we had takeout from one of our favorite local restaurants, Sunny Hans. I portioned out some of my food for Sebastian, including a handful of rice, a gyoza and his first piece of chicken. He was the most interested in the texture of the rice and the flavor of the gyoza, unsurprisingly. I should…
