Quick bread for little fingers

I made this bread for me and P thinking he’d do what he always does – try it, like a few bites, but ultimately be over it by the 4th bite forevermore.  NOPE!  Little man took this loaf down in two days with not much help from mama (which was a difficult sacrifice on my end because it was gooooood). Coconut Flour Banana Bread [vegetarian, gluten free, grain free, nut free, soy free, dairy free] Ingredients: 3 large super ripe bananas, mashed 3 eggs 1/4 cup applesauce 2 tbsp coconut oil 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp… Read more >

All about hemp milk

Obviously I didn’t invent hemp milk, so this post is not going to be super detailed on the tutorial end, however, I did do lots of research about hemp seed sources that I think could be helpful to have all in one place for others.  Since many companies that package/manufacture/sell hemp seeds also package/manufacture/sell nuts (and other allergens) I wanted to contact as many as I could to find out the details on their standards of co-packing.  There were a few who didn’t respond to my email, which I indicate below, but the rest were very… Read more >

Sorry for the delay on this one.  I was going to ditch the post altogether, but people did ask questions so I wanted to try to offer something as a way of a response.  [Reminder: here’s the first installment where I waxed poetic about how little I knew and how ill prepared I felt] Now that the trip is over and we survived without the use of the epi pen, I’ll try to share more in the hopes that some of it may help someone. Things we did prior to traveling: 1. Tried as many… Read more >

The latest food discoveries

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 >

New foods for a happy baby

Since we are heading out of the country, I wanted to try a bunch of new foods before we left, to maximize the options for P. As you can probably imagine, I’m not really keen on the idea of trying various foods for the first time while we are oceans apart from our MD (and the coverage of health care).  I am bringing 3 epi-pens with me and I’d like to return with the same amount.  Benadryl can fill in the gaps if there’s cross contamination, but for the 2 weeks we are gone, I’m… Read more >
