Growing plants you can eat, in your own garden, can be so rewarding. I particularly like doing this with kids. They can help pick out the plants, help plant them, water them and care for them and see them grow into something edible right before their eyes. This year, in addition to our usual herb garden, we picked eggplant, tomato, and strawberries to grow.

When it was time to harvest the eggplant, I wanted to make my favourite eggplant dish - the classic eggplant parmesan. I ended up making it on the BBQ because we’ve been in a heatwave, but this can also be prepared in the oven.

Transforming a homegrown plant into a dish the whole family can enjoy can be very rewarding, and may even have more of an impact on getting that less adventurous eating to even take part. Our kids took a whole slice of this dish and ate every last bite! Give this one a try and I hope your family loves it as much as mine.

Head to the website to get the recipe or comment EGGPLANT and I’ll DM to you!

Just because your child isn’t eating the food, doesn’t mean they won’t benefit from exploring foods using their senses.

👂🏼 what does it sound like when mommy bites it? Can you hear the sound it makes when you use your knife to cut it?

👃🏻 does this have a strong, sour, or sweet smell? What does it smell like to you?

✋🏻 do you feel the bumps on the strawberry? When we cut into it, the inside is slippery.

👁️ what colour is it? What shape is it? Can you see the little seeds inside the cucumber?

Without pressuring your child to eat the food, you can encourage them to get more comfortable with all kinds of foods, whether it’s a meal time, at a grocery store, cooking together in the kitchen, or enjoying a meal at a restaurant.

Feeding kids isn’t always easy, in fact it can be so stressful and emotional. If you feel like this hits home, reach out to learn more about how working together can help your child’s relationship with food become more positive.

Starting solids hack

Save some time and defrost frozen whole strawberries in the fridge for 6 hours or even overnight. This makes a perfect texture for babies working on biting and chewing around the 6-8 month mark. The berries are soft and juicy and full of sweet flavour.

Strawberries are rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin C which is an important vitamin to pair with iron-rich foods. Vitamin C enhances the body’s ability to absorb iron by protecting free iron from becoming bound to other elements that are not absorbable and due to its acidic nature, helps to convert iron into a more absorbable state (ferrous iron).

This lamb lollipop makes a great resistive food. When babies are younger (6-8 months), you can remove a lot of the meat and as they get older leave a little more and more until they are confident and capable biters and chewers.

Meats are also an excellent, highly bioavailable source of iron, which is a key nutrient for babies 7-12 months.

Can baby still learn how to bite & chew with lumpy purées?

>>>>> the answer >>>>>

NO! Even if you make your baby’s puree thicker, lumpy, or more mashed, it’s still not enough texture to stimulate biting.

What’s the option? If you aren’t ready for actual pieces of food, use gootensils spoons to help stimulate biting.

Limit one per day & stay hydrated out there!

The perfect accompaniment to any bbq - crudités & a fruit platter! 🥕 🍍 🍓 🥒 I like to mix different colours, play with shapes, and layer the veggies & fruit on a board or platter. This is a great way to make eating your fruits and veggies easy to do.

Cereals tend to get a bad reputation but the truth is, not all cereals are created equal. They can be part of a nutritious meal and provide sources of:
✅ iron - most cereals are fortified with iron and B vitamins
✅ fibre - look for cereals that contain at least 2-3 grams of fibre per serving to make it a better, more filling choice. Boos the fibre at the meal even more by adding a serving of fruit like berries with the cereal.

Choose a cereal that uses the whole part of the grain so it includes more vitamins and minerals.

Leave the sugary cereals and choose ones that have less than 8 grams per severing. The lower the sugar amount the better. Remember, each 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon

Offer cereals with milk, milk alternative, or yogurt to boost the overall protein in the meal.

Which cereal is your family’s favourite?

Here are some easy ways to keep meals colourful and loaded with fruits and veggies.

Top yogurt, ice cream, cereal, toast with fruits and veggies. Berries work well for parfaits, banana or avocado work well as toast toppings.

Try a veggie packed dip like a guacamole, edamame, or bean dip with crackers/chips or veggies.

Smoothies are an easy way to load up on fruits and veggies. From berries, to mango, to zucchini, to squash, or even handfuls of greens, you can produce pack a smoothie.

Soups are great vessels for produce. Many different veggies can be added and the soups can be smooth and blended like a cream of broccoli soup or can have pieces of veggies like a minestrone.

Dried and freeze dried fruits are great pantry staples. From raisins, dried cranberries, dates to apple rings, banana chips and dried mango to crispy freeze dried fruits.

What do you think you’ll add today to boost the number of fruits and veggies in your child’s diet?
