What I'm Eating? Toddler Food Friday

Have you seen this baby food at Target?


I just started feeding it to Lucas and he loves it.
The food combinations are great; combinations you really want to feed your baby.


Not like the turkey dinner or meatloaf mixtures you see at the store. Which honestly make me nauseous just looking at'em.
And forget it if a piece lands on my arm when I'm feeding Lucas, I might just lose it. 


So when I ran across Happy Baby, I was so excited to try them out.


They are all certified Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher, and Gluten-Free. And include vitamins, minerals, omega-3's and antioxidants.  


It's the next best thing to you making baby food fresh at home.

What I'm Eating? Toddler Food Friday

My toddler is a serious eater.
He'll eat just about anything that lands in front of him or whatever he sees you eating.
He can smell food a mile away.


And his taste for food is always changing.


So I thought it would be fun to start a new feature each Friday called, "What I'm eating?"


I know as moms it's always fun to see what other moms feed their kids. And get a few new recipes to add to your mommy recipe arsenal.

Right now Lucas devours this stuff.

We call it pasta balls in our house.

The boys love it.

And I could probably eat the whole box by myself if left alone.

It's Israeli Couscous.

And it's fast, simple and so easy to make.

Here is how we make it:

Saute 1 shallot and 1 garlic clove in 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil.

Empty your box of Israeli Couscous into the pan and saute until the couscous turns a light brown color.

Fill pan with 1 and 3/4 of liquid (you can use water, chicken stock, vegetable stock...whatever you have on hand. I always use stock. It adds so much flavor).

Season to taste.

Bring to a boil.

Cover & cook on low until most of the liquid is absorbed and couscous is soft.

Once it's done you can add pretty much anything to it.

It is so versatile.

I usually add whatever veggie I have on hand (broccoli, carrots, zucchini...)

And the boys love it topped with sprinkle cheese (Parmesan cheese).

so good.
