Coconut Fish Curry

The biggest challenge with having both parents working and young kids is how to put a healthy meal on the table that the whole family will love.  I made this quick coconut fish curry for dinner today in less than 5 minutes and the whole family loved it. This dish is inspired by the Thai [...]

Red Beet Rice

Kids love the new and the unusual. How about feeding them red colored food? Excite your kids by serving them red colored rice or pasta with beets. Your kids will love the color, the taste is yummy and it is all natural. Just use beetroots with your rice or pasta. Plus, beets are pretty cheap, which [...]

Persimmon Plum Puree

What do you get when you puree a persimmon and sweet emerald plum together? A delicious puree that reminds me of fall colors. It also tastes just as delicious and so perfect that it can served at any meal to the infant. Persimmons are difficult to find (see here for what’s available in your local markets). In [...]

Pumpkin Banana Puree

Well  we have been on a pumpkin streak at home lately. Between Pumpkin pancakes, Pumpkin Walnut cheese spread and pumpkin vegetables we are taking in as much pumpkin as we can. While thinking of what puree to make for my baby, I figured why not some pumpkin for him too. You can make pumpkin puree [...]

Beetroot Broccoli and Carrot Puree

Most parents and kids shy away from beetroots. Beetroots are yummy and naturally sweet. They are rich in calcium and are a great immune booster. So give beets to your kids and watch them surprise you. Beets do stain so you can either buy already steamed beets for the puree or make sure to wash [...]

Apple Fennel Puree

I love hearing stories where people found inspiration for something. My husband and I recently met some dear friends of ours for a lovely couples dinner at a French Restaurant.  Between the wine, the chitchat and an evening without the kids, it felt nice till our waitress said the soup of the day was an [...]

Chicken, Rice and Veggies to introduce a new texture

Having your child explore textures with their mouth is a vital part of the eating experience. They have undergone so many transitions, from 100% liquid food (breast milk or formula) to puree, to semi-solids and now to solids, that we have to help them manage the transition each step of the way. As my little [...]

Superfoods Puree featuring bok choy and broccoli

My 8 month old’s appetite has been rapidly increasing. He loves loves loves to eat. I am always amazed at how much he eats. The joke in the family is that before he started solids our weekly farmer’s market fruits and veggie budget was $40, but now we are spending $55 a week to include [...]

Oatmeal a great healthy breakfast

Oatmeal is one of the easiest breakfasts you can make. We eat oatmeal at least once during the weekdays. I love how everyone can add their toppings to Oatmeal to suit their taste. My husband, my 3 year old and the 8 month old all eat the same Oatmeal (with their own toppings ) whenever [...]

Plum Strawberry Mint Puree

This puree was so delicious that my hubby and I  took some from my 8 month old baby boy’s bowl to use as compote for the French toast we had for breakfast today. I know I feel guilty taking some of his food away, but he had enough as he was using the puree first [...]
