Sweet potato “jack-o-lanterns” are a fun way to make your dinner side Halloween festive! I love this because this recipe is different from a typical sugary-sweet holiday treat (not that there’s anything wrong with sweets). Creating your lanterns is simple, and the cinnamon gives them great flavor when roasting! This […]
This time of year when pears are at their best, I try to use them in meals multiple times a week. Pears are not only scrumptious, but they are incredibly nutritious. This recipe I made for my 17-month-old, but they are so yummy that I eat about half of the […]
I need multiple pick me ups throughout my day (life as a tired mom), and instead of grabbing a candy bar, I grab these instead! These energy cookies are sweet, chewy, full of texture and full of healthy ingredients. These cookies are perfect for toddlers, as they provide energy, great […]
As a toddler mom, I am always looking for new ways to add veggies into my daughter’s meals. Incorporating veggies into pasta sauces is my favorite way to do just that. This recipe not only incorporates veggies, but this recipe I made for specifically using frozen veggies! I always have […]

I love making pancakes for my toddler, especially when they are healthy and nutritious for her. These spinach pancakes are not only healthy, but the texture and flavor of them are so good that I will also eat them with her! There is a slight sweetness to the pancakes from […]
I made this applesauce when my toddler was starting solids. Now when I find some good apples I always like to make a batch! Fall and winter is the best time for that since apples are in season now. This applesauce is simple, with no added sugars, but added spices […]
I make this recipe at least once a week because my toddler will have a second and sometimes third helping of it every time I serve it to her. And I am okay with that because this dish is full of good protein, fiber and iron, so I feel good […]
It’s the season for pumpkins and the flavor of these fritters will really get you and your toddler in the fall mood! I always keep a couple of cans of pumpkin puree in my pantry as well as rolled oats, so this recipe is a convenient one. This recipe is […]
I’ve been making this dish for my daughter since she was 8 months old. French toast sticks are nostalgic as well as easy for little ones to eat! The only thing that makes these better is to dip them into some raspberry yogurt…that’s the way my daughter likes to eat […]
