Welcome to the newest restaurant in town, right here in my little kitchen. My ever faithful patrons include my husband and my 15 month old son and friends on occasion when I try out anew recipe to take somewhere.
Since my son started eating solids I've been trying to make most of his food. When he was eating pureed baby food I started scouring the Internet and the local library looking for recipes to make for him. I wanted to feed him nutritious food, and mind you, I'm from the midwest so I'm not a complete health nut, so we try for the majority of his food to be organic with lots of whole grains and good ole fruits and veggies. Now that my son is older and distinguishing his tastes, I am trying to be more creative with finger and table foods. You might be asking, why don't you just feed him what you eat? Well that would be easier and definitely cheaper, but I make a lot of his food separate for a couple of reasons: 1- my body is already tarnished so why waste the money on organic foods for me (I'm kidding, but organics DO get expensive!) 2- my son goes to bed pretty early so he eats before we've even made dinner and 3-while we feel that we are somewhat "healthy" eaters, we would like to provide even more nutrition to our son!
So why am I writing all this nonsense? Well I always am telling my other mom friends about my latest cooking/baking task, so I thought this might be a good way to compile my recipes and notes so that hopefully someone else might benefit from it. Please know that these recipes are NOT my own, and I do NOT want any credit for creating them. I will always give you the source of the recipe so you can credit that person!
Anyway,I know there are other blogs out there that do the same thing, but I hope my compilation of recipes proves to be useful to my friends and family! If you decide to try out a recipe, please leave me a comment and let me know how it goes!
