Baby Food for Thought — FoodieKid | Simple Starters — FoodieKid

It’s turkey time! Thanksgiving dinner is one of our favorite meals of the year, but sometimes roasted turkey on its own isn’t the biggest hit with the kiddos. Or you may have an infant who wants in on the fun but doesn’t have the teeth to participate! Here is an alternative option for Thanksgiving or anytime - veggie loaded turkey meatballs or purée. We’ve taken ground turkey and added our delicious Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Kale Veggie Blends for added flavor and nutrition. Fast and easy to make, with the added bonus of incorporated vegetables, this is recipe is a real crowd pleaser.

Baked Egg Cups with Veggies and Cheese

We’ve always been a big fan of eggs. After all, they’re healthy, high in protein and so very versatile. And in this time of back-to-back-to-back meal preparations, we’ve never been so grateful for the humble egg’s winning combo of “easy to cook” and “high nutritional pay out”. If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual scramble or omelet, give these kid-friendly baked egg cups a whirl. Simple to make, they feature the added bonus of vegetables and can be eaten without utensils for those of us still getting the hang of that.
