First, I baked Chewy Granola Cookies. Then, I decided to make some Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars. They are AMAZING. I can’t stop eating them, and my husband has already requested another batch so that he can take some into work. (more…)

Nature’s Hand Chewy Granola Cookies
September 28, 2011 by crystal
I was recently asked by Nature’s Hand to try out some of their granola. The good people at Nature’s Hand sent me two packages of French Vanilla Almond Granola. That’s a lot of granola! So, I decided to pop over to their website and try out some of Nature’s Hand’s recipes. I tried two recipes, and they were both delicious!

Homemade Baby Food: Muffins
August 24, 2011 by crystal
Who doesn’t love a good muffin? It’s like cake for breakfast. I recently introduced Charlotte to a baby version of muffins. By this, I mean they are *whispers* good for you. Don’t tell Charlotte (or the dog) – because they think they are the best thing ever! (more…)Category Yummy Stuff | Tags: Baby Food,Muffins,Recipes,Things my kid ate | 4 Comments

Pork Chops and Green Beans
July 22, 2011 by crystal
When cooking for my husband and myself, I often try to plan meals so that my daughter can eat a little of what we are eating. What does this mean? This means that part of the meal needs to involve nutritious, organic foods that are prepared without added salt. I might use a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil, but only enough so that what I’m cooking doesn’t stick to the pan. I also use only those spices that we have already introduced. Right now, that includes garlic, basil, parsley, and cinnamon.
I have never bought jarred or packaged baby food – We have always made our own. When Charlotte was younger, (more…)

Homemade Baby Food: Pancakes
July 15, 2011 by crystal
These pancakes are so good, my husband actually sneaks bites of them off of my daughter’s high chair tray. They are made with egg yolks and breastmilk/formula, because egg whites and cow’s milk are common allergens that we haven’t introduced yet. There’s no added sugar, but the breastmilk and bananas are sweet enough to make up for it. (In case you weren’t paying attention, they have boob milk in them, and my husband still sneaks bites of them. They are that good!) (more…)

Homemade Baby Food: Zucchini
July 8, 2011 by crystal
I promise to get back to discussing breastfeeding, but I wanted to give you all a taste (ha!) of some baby food recipes. My daughter loves zucchini. When we first introduced solids, I would mix it with other veggies to get her to eat them. Now that we’re onto diced foods, she still loves it. I’m including directions on both how to make pureed and diced zucchini. Really, the directions can be applied to most steamed fruits and veggies. (more…)
