Babies, kids, and parents eat together. Simple, healthy food ideas.
WEEK 1 of SELF-FEEDING with Elise OUR EXPERIENCE. If you are just joining me here, I am a big fan of the method of self-feeding a.k.a Baby Led Weaning (BLW). No purees, just real food from the start. If you are unfamiliar, take a look here. Elise is now 6 months and we just completed the first week of playing with real food. Playing is the key word here. It will be a while until this game turns into real eating. If your grandmas and aunts are looking at you with suspicion (at best), you ...

Hello, my perfect cookie, which just happens to be gluten free and vegan. There are as many perfect cookies as there are people. My perfect cookie depends on what mood I wake up in and the weather. This one, my friends, I can eat in any season and any mood because it’s crunchy, healthy, mildly…
Hello yummy crispy coconut chicken! It’s made of healthy ingredients but it’s fried. I would like to state that I would not offer this chicken to a baby under 1. Yes, I am a fan of Baby Led Weaning (what is it?) but Baby Led Weaning can be as healthy or unhealthy as you make…
This simple vegan dish used to be my go-to dish when I was just starting Baby Led Weaning with Soren (what is Baby Led Weaning?) Luckily, he liked almost anything I put in front of him in those days. Now that he is nearing his second birthday, he is still a very good eater but…
Baby Led Weaning (what is it?) appropriate from 7 months if you omit salt. When I can, I try to grind my own meat. It sounds complicated but it actually is not at all and it takes just a few minutes. The only thing you would need to do is wash an extra piece of…
