This broccoli cheddar quinoa is one way I know my toddler will eat her broccoli. This 4-ingredient quinoa has a creamy taste and soft texture that’s hard to resist. The finely chopped broccoli fuses perfectly with the quinoa and creates the perfect bite! Willow finishes her bowl every single time […]
I like to feed my toddler food with lots of flavor and textures. But I think there is always room for simple foods and simple meals. Sweet potato puree is one I fed her in her first couple weeks of eating solids. Safe to say, she was a fan! Sweet […]
I made this 4-ingredient hot chocolate for Willow so that she could enjoy some holiday cheer without all of the sugar and additives you get from prepackaged hot chocolate. Even some homemade hot chocolate recipes can be loaded with sugar…this one is not. But it is still just as delicious […]
I could also call this recipe, “Willow’s Favorite Oat Bars”, because each time I make these she eats about 5 bars in one sitting. These bars are soft but chewy, sweet, delicious and incredibly healthy. These bars are also egg free, gluten free and sugar free. I call them a […]

These spinach rice balls are a great way to combine spinach and rice to make a delicious snack. These are healthy, nutritious and easy to make! They’re toddler and kid friendly. If you have leftover rice hanging around in your fridge, this is a great way to use it! This […]
Comforting is what comes to mind when I think of this meal. Meatballs in my opinion are always considered a comfort food, but when you add gravy to it, it’s hard for me think of anything else that’s more perfect for dinner this time of year. These chicken meatballs feature […]
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 […]
