Mango Creamsicle

Mango Creamisicle

My favorite avocado lady at the farmers market has been selling mangoes lately. They have a gorgeous color and smell like heaven. I let them ripen a day or two until they’re soft, but not mushy. When you cut into them, the meat is almost neon yellow. Mango is rich in the antioxidants beta-carotene and [...]

Lemon Chicken and Vegetables

lemon-chicken-and-vegetables

After coming home from the farmer’s market Sunday morning, exhausted from a long weekend, I had to cook something quick and nutritious for Kenya’s dinner. Believe it or not, my husband came up with this combination. The man loves a lemon (especially if it’s a Meyer lemon, which is a little sweeter) and since he’s [...]

Fresh Pea Hummus

The best part about feeding your baby a new food he likes is watching him grab at the spoon while you feed. It’s a great idea to give your little one their own spoon to encourage them to become a part of the feeding process. This is a big step for the little ones, but [...]

Quickest Yogurt Avocado Sauce

OneHungryMama Salmon Quick Avocado Yogurt Sauce

I’m always skeptical of headlines that claim they’ll help you get dinner on the table in 15, 20 or even 30 minutes. The truth is that what takes a professional recipe developer 30 minutes is likely to take the average home cook 40 or 45 minutes. But a few recipes are truly as quick as [...]

Tuscan White Beans

This dish reminds me of something you would have on a cool night in Tuscany. Cannelini beans, also known as white beans, have a smooth texture and a nutty flavor. Combined with the brown rice, you have a complete protein. I’ve been making the adult version of this dish for years. When you make this [...]

Baby Guacamole

This fruit (yes, avocado is actually a fruit!) is an excellent source of unsaturated fatty acids and has a higher proportion of good fat than any other food except olives. Avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including 4% of the recommended Daily Value (DV) for vitamin E, 4% vitamin C, 8% folate, 4% [...]

Peach and Strawberry Parfait

Baby-Bullet-Batchbowl

Straight from our new Baby Bullet show, pediatrician Dr. JJ tells us how to make a delicious, healthy dessert for the whole family using the Baby Bullet. Dessert has become an expected course on our daily menu, but it’s also gotten us into some trouble. The problem is we’ve fed our sweet tooth the wrong [...]

Curried Edamame

Sometimes you don’t have fresh veggies lying around, but you still want to make your little one a fresh, all natural puree for lunch or dinner. Well, keep your freezer stocked with frozen edamame, a delicious substitute for fresh veggies that, when combined with the right spice, can show your baby a new world of [...]

Plum & Banana Puree

plum-banana-puree

The moment plums are in season, go out and get some right away! The dark purple hue of the plums is so beautiful and the meat is sweet and when pureed, perfect for a baby. I like adding banana to this recipe because it thickens the puree, adds extra nutrients, like potassium, and makes a [...]

Chicken for Baby’s Soul

Babies and kids get sick and there’s so little you can do to prevent it, but I’m always willing to give it a try! I’ve always read that chicken soup is the best thing to eat when you’re sick. It’s comforting, light and easy to eat. So I wanted to come up with something similar [...]
