I’m always looking for healthy and tasty birthday cake ideas and this time I really wanted to bake a summer cake that could also work as a light and fluffy dessert for other occasions. Also, my kids are not big fans of frosting and creams. When we go to birthday parties with cupcakes they always […]
Allergies and intolerances are unfortunately very common in babies and kids. About 6 million kids have a food allergy. Impressive, I know. Statistically boys have more allergies than girls. Allergies’ symptoms are very similar to cold ones: runny nose, rash, upset stomach, cranky mood. If you think that your little one might have an allergy, […]
A super yummy and nutritious breakfast for your toddler that you would love to taste too!! Let’s start the morning in the best way with a breakfast full of nutrients = vegetables (hidden, yes, but still there!!) + vitamins + fast digesting carbs and proteins…and a lovely chocolate flavor that will make your little one […]
My kids love crackers (and bread). It’s a super quick, filling and comforting snack. That’s why I’m very picky about the kind of crackers that I buy for them. I always double check the (long) list of ingredients to see what is really inside. Sometimes you can’t really imagine what they can hide under a […]
Tots, patties, balls, croquettes…are my favorite way to sneak in vegetables in my kids diet without them even noticing it. I’m not a fan of hiding vegetables and fruit in the recipes, I think that the more the kids are conscious of what they are eating, the less picky they will get. At the same […]
This is one of my favorite family recipe, super kid friendly thanks to the bite size and the Teriyaki sauce taste. It’s easy to make, healthy and I can substitute the vegetables following the seasons and pending what is available at the farmers market. I like to serve the Teriyaki Chicken on a bed of […]
Fruit baby purees using seasonal fruit are always the best: naturally sweet and so flavorful!! Today I’ve chosen two fruits that are at the top of their season (and so, even sweeter than usual!): figs and pluots. If you do not know pluots, they look like plums but they are an hybrid of plums and apricots, […]
This recipe is so simple that your kids can have fun preparing it!! You will only need sweet seasonal strawberries, the yogurt of your choice and paper straws. STRAWBERRIES: I really suggest to use organic ones. Unfortunately strawberries are always in the dirty dozen food list with pesticide residues on it. Buying organic is the […]
Gazpacho is incredibly easy to make, the perfect summer staple for all ages…and perfect for kids. I love to use fresh seasonal tomatoes as a base of my Gazpachos. Tomatoes are rich in the antioxidant lycopene and Vitamin C. When ripe and in season their taste is heaven. For today’s Gazpacho I used the Japanese […]
Buckwheat crepes are a naturally gluten free option for your kids. They are lovely both with a sweet or savory filling. The flavor is kind of unique: nutty, very close to a dark toast bread or even some rich beer. Buckwheat is not a grain but a seed of a plant (very close to the […]
