So you’re starting solids

So you’re starting solids

The current guidelines on introducing solids recommends babies be between 4 to 6 months. Some babies are ready at the 4 month mark, while other babies may still need a little extra encouragement around 6 months. Check out this post for my three “T’s” to starting solids with your infant.

Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable. It has its own distinct taste, but it can easily be paired with spicy, savory, and even sweeter flavours. Being a cruciferous vegetable, cauliflower is very hearty, and can stand up to sauces and dressings without becoming too soft or mushy, which makes it perfect to use in place of rice.

Multigrain Salad

Multigrain Salad

As a dietitian, and foodie, I eat most (healthy) foods, however quinoa is one of the super-foods that I am just not that into. I enjoy it sparingly added to salads, soups, but to enjoy a bowl of it, I'd rather pass. That's what I love so much about this multi-grain salad - the multiple grains! It's not just quinoa; its quinoa + barley + wheat berries + whatever other whole grains you have in your pantry.
