Save these flavour packed marinades for the next time you meal prep. I like to prepare a few things on the weekend to make busy weekdays meals less of a headache. Marinating a few proteins is a great choice if you only do a few things. Between this and having a few veggies cleaned/prepped can really help.

Save, share & follow for more! 💚

Easiest homemade sauce

While tomatoes 🍅 are at their best but you can’t eat them all, make a sauce!

For 1 jar of tomato sauce you will need:
6 medium to large tomatoes, halved
Pinch of salt and pepper
1-2 tbsp olive oil

Add everything to a sauce pan and cook on low until it thickens. Once it has reduced and the flavour is perfect, simply blend on low speed for 30-60 seconds then add to a jar and use within 3-5 days or store in the freezer for 4-6 months.

This is a great base for pasta sauces, for soups and stews, for pizza sauce and is full of antioxidants, and free of added sugar.

While tomatoes are still everywhere in Ontario, grab a bunch and make a few jars of this easy sauce.

Think you’ll make this? Drop me a 🍅!

Getting ready for school lunches?
Grab the school lunch guide to lighten your headspace and follow an easy, flexible template to nutritious and filling school lunches.

This is a favourite lunch for one kiddo- chicken Caesar wrap - using leftover rotisserie chicken tossed with Caesar dressing and lettuce.

For the sides - I’ve always got a fruit and a veggie - in this lunch I packed sliced cucumbers, apples, and some freeze dried strawberries.

Something fun - I added a rainbow cookie.

It doesn’t have to be a big endeavour but packing lunches can be time consuming, can be a pain to think about, so let me help you out!

Head over to the website and grab your guide before the first day of school.

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.

Looking for a hydration drink you can also give your kids? I like because the electrolytes are fairly low compared to many of the others on the market.

Potassium 32.5 mg
Calcium 11.5 mg
Magnesium 2 mg

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.
