Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Sandwiches
It feels weird to continue with Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays because we’re technically at the age now that it’s not unusual to see other kids eating “table” foods. At the same time, Peanut is miles ahead of those kids. While they’re just figuring out that they are actually allowed to put their own food in their … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Birthday Edition
Last Saturday was Peanut’s first birthday (Yay Peanut!) and I wanted to make her a cake. I’ve always loved those pictures of a baby diving into their first birthday cake, but I didn’t like the idea of giving Peanut all of that processed sugar—not to mention the other unhealthy ingredients in store-bought cake and frosting. … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Mashed Potatoes
***I just realized (after months of giving Peanut homemade mashed potatoes) that mashed potatoes have uncooked milk in them, therefore shouldn’t be given to babies under one year (I think?). So maybe find a milk alternative to put in the mashed potatoes if you’re giving them to little ones? Someone please tell me if I’m … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Mum Mums
Please tell me there’s nothing wrong with feeding these things to Peanut because she loves them. Really though, if there is something wrong I do want to know. I have had a sneaking feeling from the get-go that these aren’t as healthy as they seem. They are very boring. I would think that Peanut would … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesday: Spaghetti Round Two
I already did a post about spaghetti, but with such a vast change in the procedures for eating it, I decided it was a topic worth re-addressing. I’m a big fan of noodles. Really, grains in general. If I had to pick one part of the food pyramid that’s my favorite it would probably be … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Spoons
With certain foods, spoons just make sense. Yogurt, ice cream, apple sauce, etc. all work much better with a spoon. For over a month, Peanut has been eating yogurt nearly every day with a spoon. We do it differently than traditional spoon-feeding, but I still control the spoon (she just controls where her mouth goes). … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Navajo Tacos
I have been looking for a good recipe for Navajo tacos since I was pregnant, so when I found one in The Food Nanny cookbook that looked like it could be it, I had to try it out. It. Was. It. OMFG they were so delicious. I ate leftovers for lunch today and was actually … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Spinach
Recently in an effort to eat healthier, I decided to cook chicken breasts stuffed with spinach and ham. I was not only surprised by how good they were, but also how Peanut reacted to spinach.Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Spinach I love spinach and we’ve had it before, but never really as a separate thing. No, it … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Product Review
I wrote this yesterday, but forgot to publish it because we took Peanut to after-hours care after she vomited. Luckily, she’s fine. About a month ago my husband and I were wandering around Babies R Us and looking at toys when we stumbled upon this device. I immediately turn to my husband and say “This … Read more
