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 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…
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…
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…
Anneliese likes to eat paper. She tears apart my magazines with her teeth (when I let her), LOVES tags from items of clothing or other new stuff, and has sucked on a bunch of my business cards (which I can’t pass out after that, obviously). So I figured I’d give her some edible paper! Nori…
Stir fry is so good for baby led weaning. It gives a variety of options for the baby to try, it’s quick to cook, and the whole family will enjoy it. Don’t be tempted to make “healthy stir fry” by just steaming everything or using a tiny bit of spritzed oil (basically trying to eliminate…
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 have been dying to give Capri corn on the cob. And it has started showing up in the stores more and is on sale and Capri has 1.5 teeth so we got some. We roasted it in the oven and cut hers in half. It had some butter and pepper on it and she…
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…
