My 15 month olds breakfast. Meals look differently lately because him and I are doing an elimination diet for his eczema (I’m still breastfeeding) this morning we’re having blueberries, beans and rutabaga seasoned with olive oil and pineapple! Starting to get over the crazy food cravings since we cut out all 9 allergens plus corn coconut and avocado. I keep reminding myself it’s only temporary 🫣😭

banana waffles with strawberry yoghurt topped with diced strawberries 🍓

My son turns one this week! Onion and carrot uttapam, cottage cheese and spinach eggs, cubed peaches and some sliced banana.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, raspberries and salmon.

😭

Baby is 7 months old.

Tried something new tonight. He starts daycare this week and I thought cheese and spinach quesadillas would be a good lunch, so we tried them for lunch and dinner today. Hated them both times lol. This kid loves EVERYTHING, so I’m thoroughly shocked. He’s eating sardines for dinner instead. 😆😆

I tried to take the inside out of the quesadilla thinking maybe he would like that. Nope lol. I thought they tasted good.

I keep making really bad egg free pancakes. Please share or link your favorite recipes. Dairy is ok! My 8 month old has an egg allergy and breakfasts are really boring.

Pictured here- roasted bell pepper with the skin removed and red lentil sweet potato curry. Lentil recipe from NYtimes, made pretty close to the way it’s written. Baby likes the big flavors!

It doesn’t have to be plated perfect every time, sometimes we use the takeout container lid lol cava dinner w my 11mo ❤️

This is my first year trying my hand at gardening so I was excited to be able to use homegrown basil! Pesto pasta, chickpea fritter, steamed zucchini and tomato wedges.

I call this “we moved yesterday and I don’t know where anything is”
Lemon butter orzo with smashed peas
Blueberries (that are smashed)
Sweet potato bites

Lmk if y'all want the recipe!

PLATE VS ATE

My 2 year old is covered in dirt and sand and won’t stop driving his dino cozy coupe. Took his milk on the go

PLATE

homemade mac and cheese, dr praegers sweet potato littles, jambalaya rice w/tomatoes, coleslaw

ATE

some mac and cheese, cupcake on the ride home from daycare, 4oz whole milk (not pictured)

Attempted to do a Dr Praeger/Smiley faces mash up today.

The faces turned a little sinister, and the mouths fused shut after baking.

As per usual the Chick Filla ranch was the star of the meal 😐

Everything was chopped, I just thought baby spaghetti was cute

The power of rebranding food so that my toddler will eat it! The past few times we’ve served homemade pizza, he hasn’t been into it and just throws it on the floor, but he loves bread, so pizza became bread tonight. Likewise, I was worried he would chuck his peas on the floor, but he’s been really into blueberries and strawberries lately, so the peas are officially greenberries lol. Sure enough, he ate most of his dinner happily. Loved the greenberries especially😂

in my last post people commented that I offer too much food at once.. i‘m quite confused over how much food a 12mo is supposed to eat, considering she sometimes eats almost a full plate like this (and she had some watermelon + few spoonfuls of porridge on top)

Scrambled eggs, buttered toast and cherry tomatoes for me. Scrambled eggs, soft cheese on toast, banana and broccoli that needed using up for her. Brown sugar double espresso with milk for me, breastmilk in a cup for her (usually she’d have water but I had milk in the fridge that needs using up today)

She’s 7mo

Convenient snack - made with bought premade dough, so very easy. You can freeze them and reheat them 😊

mashed banana, grated apple, scoop of almond butter, scoop of raisins, 1 egg, ca 2 dl oats and some cinnamon. Baked at 180c for about 15 mins 🥰 my 13 mo destroyed 3 in one sitting along side her skyr
