Baby (food) post coming ‘atcha. If you have no interest, just close the browser. Here are a few new tricks and trials I have to share… -I’ve discovered a way to make apples (and hard/unripe pears) the perfect consistency for P to eat without the work of cooking them. I just chop the fruit and freeze it (raw). Once it’s been frozen for at least a day, I thaw it and voila! It’s soft and semi-mushy and I can feed it to him straight away. I have frozen fruit for two months and it still… Read more >

Last week I took photos of my whole day of eats – something I rarely do anymore – and then I just forgot about it. But they were good meals worth sharing so I’m posting them now because it’s food related and this is a food blog! It’s pretty atypical for me to have oats in the mornings nowadays, so this creation is more of an anomaly than the norm. I was in the mood for peanut butter but I used sunbutter instead because I’m still nervous about eating nuts when I’m around P. Even… Read more >

Swoon. We spent too much time at Lamps Plus last Sunday buying a chandelier for…drumroll…our new house!!! I am still in shock. More on that later. In the two hours it took to find a suitable chandelier and matching chain, P managed to pee through an outfit and get super hungry. Like a total rookie mom, I was prepared for neither. We left at 11:30 thinking it would be a 30 minute trip, tops. But we were way wrong. Needless to say I made it work. I changed him in the car and cleaned… Read more >

Mama’s little helper. The addition of shoes to the wardrobe has transformed him into a little boy. He’s non-stop exploring. Still not walking, but he’s perfected his cruising skills, so it’s only a matter if time (days). Green toys. And now the word tractor is a part of his vocab. Davis appropriate. Inspired by Vintage Mixer’s kale coconut & chicken salad I made this guy for lunch. I have been struuuuuggling with lunches lately. I don’t know what to eat without soy or nuts or hummus. I’ve been trying to limit meat to… Read more >

In order for all my tasks to stay straight in my head, they have to be written on paper. With check boxes. Because otherwise my mind will never ever shut off. I will literally lie awake at night going over all the things on my to-do list… So I have this. OCD? Yes. But oh so helpful too. For the birthday party, it kept me right on track, and guess what? The hour leading up to our guests’ arrival was completely stress free. I had nothing to do because I had already done everything!… Read more >
