Back at it with dinner + breakfast. Dinner was scraped clean with refills (12x more soba), but the bastardess only picked out the fruits/crushed pistachios from breakfast.

I used a $3 silicone ice cube tray. It even came with a lid. Hopefully this will keep her entertained for a while.

When dad has all the time in the world to prep (carrot lunch) vs when dad’s in the weeds (minecraft watermelon dinner). She’s 20mo, so please don’t take this down over the raw butterflies.

I made these muffins to have for breakfast and snacks for the coming days, as well as to freeze. My baby is generally not a great eater, unless she's REALLY hungry, but she just ate almost 2 in one sitting. If you do make these, definitely push the blueberries into the batter more than I did, otherwise you'll end up with these virus looking muffins 😂

Baby ate great and the floor had a snack. Spaghetti Bolognese with fresh Parmesan, Garlic Bread, and Syrian salad

It took me a while to try peanuts but got there in the end 😭 (not allergic)

A sick day calls for comfort food! I made congee with low sodium soy sauce and omitted any additional salt until after baby boy’s portion had been served. I chopped up the (well done) fried egg for his, and attempted a Mushu-esque smiley face for my bowl. 😂 He loved this!

The transition to the sippy cup has been going well! We swapped the nipples in our bottles and she barely noticed the difference. She’s also obsessed with sourdough and butter with garlic powder now.

1. Mac n cheese + dino nuggets + peas

2. Costco hotdog... Deconstructed 😂 plus oranges

3. Quinoa+yogurt (he did not like) + chicken + broccoli (the chicken and broccoli was a win)

4. Bean and cheese taquitos + cucumber + babybell cheese

Baby’s meal prep for the week— broccoli potato cheddar sticks, pinto beans and veg soup, beef porridge, shredded beef, pancakes, shredded chicken thighs, carrots, tomatoes, and baby zuke!

Wouldn’t normally serve blueberries alongside blueberry pancakes, but the fruit situation over here was getting bleak. Nothing on the floor or the bib, just yogurt all over the face lol. (10 M)

All about balance! He ate 3 whole pieces of spinach but it was the first time I've given him raw spinach so it went reasonably well.

Hi everyone! My LO is 8.5m and we’re struggling with drinking water. At around 6-7m I introduced a straw cup and she took it right away but barely actually drank the water - she’d just suck it up the straw then back down. Crazy back wash situation ahaha wasn’t a big deal cause she was still learning. Well now at this age, while she’s “drinking” most of it ends up spilling out of her mouth. Any tips? Is this an issue or something that will just come with time? I’m just worried she’s not drinking enough water, if that’s even a thing at this age?

I’ve tried different water bottles with skinny straws (like the tommee tippee) and she didn’t understand those at all.

Pictured is her current water bottle. I have straws with a valve and without. Same outcome with both!

I’ve found that I have a signature pattern of: overloading (double/tripling) the protein, keeping babygirl focused with an edible garnish (my cheap trick).

Introducing my Avo-Aspa Rose, and Mr. Orange Bear.

Zucchini was not drained so they are mushy for now. Also some bay cereal as LO is allergic to egg

I made some chicken and chive “no wrap” rice paper dumplings, but I didn’t really think my son would do great with wet, sticky rice paper, so he essentially got meatballs made out of dumpling filling. Served with peanut sauce, seaweed salad (still trying to get him to like this!) and crackers. 15 months old.

Grits cooked with broth, scrambled eggs, avocado and sauteed mushrooms from a can. She loves grits!

Peas, pasta with homemade red sauce and parmigiano, strawberries!

Driscoll’s Sweetest Batch is 11oz of blueberries!!!!!! Where in her little body do that many berries go!!!!!
