It was time to introduce a new food item to Nico. I was feeling somewhat uninspired (this was after making a ton of Nico’s favorite foods). I looked around my kitchen, and noticed a couple mangos in our fruit bowl. I thought, well, why not? I checked in with my favorite baby food-making website, and … Continue reading

Did you know that the lasagna that you (well, I am assuming here) and I grew up eating was an American-ized version of the Italian version? I had no clue! Not that there’s anything wrong with American-ized versions of stuff. I prefer the -er spelling of theater. I love lots and lots of ricotta cheese. … Continue reading

I love crusty breads. Before we moved up to the hills, we’d drive up here most weekends to visit my in-laws, and we’d bring crusty breads, cheeses, and wine. It was one of my favorite weekend events. Since moving up here, we haven’t done that much, mostly because we are so consumed with fixing our … Continue reading

So behind on blogging! Trying to catch up. This week’s lunch felt a little uninspired and without color. It was still healthy, but I definitely want to improve the looks of my lunches. Monday’s Lunch: Black bean, corn, and dry roasted almonds. In the top left compartment, there’s leftover Israeli couscous with sun dried tomatoes … Continue reading

When I was pregnant, I looked into baby-led weaning, and thought that would be the best decision for my baby. I changed my mind when … Continue reading

My kid can tolerate dairy! After 6 months of being off the good stuff, I am able to have cheese, yogurt, cream, and all the other good things that comes from cows. This needed to be celebrated. I decided to make a creamy pasta dish that also incorporated a bunch of veggies, in honor of … Continue reading

Packing lunch has always been a challenge for me–since I entered the professional world. I’m picky when it comes to leftovers, I am not a fan of sandwiches, and I don’t want to rely on sodium-ridden frozen meals. I also discovered that I had a mental block when it came to packing lunch–I saw the … Continue reading

My CSA box from last week had spring peaches! After checking out my favorite baby food website, Wholesome Baby Food, I decided to introduce peaches to Nico next. The website strongly encouraged baking peaches, as opposed to boiling them, to bring out the sweetness of the fruit. So that’s what I did. The recipe (it’s down … Continue reading

I found this week’s crock pot recipe on Pinterest. It’s a recipe for Pasta E Fagioli soup that is supposed to be very similar to a soup that the Olive Garden serves. It looked yummy, so I thought I’d try it. I followed the recipe point-by-point, except that I used 3 tomatoes (diced), as opposed to using … Continue reading
