Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions.   1. blue monkey coconut chips I got these as a freebie for some educational event I went to, but I know they are sold at Whole Foods as well as mainstream grocers (check the “ethnic foods” aisle).  I really loved them and although they were sweetened, I’d buy them again.  I used them as… Read more >

When do you clean the blender?

Here’s the real indicator that I’m type A…I literally clean the blender parts and put them away before I drink my smoothie.  Even when I’m a crazy hangrypants.  Please tell me there are others out there who do this too?  I know the OCD tendencies run deep in food bloggers, so I don’t think I’m going too out on a limb with this.  But I definitely do it every. single. time. I make a smoothie.  Other dishes, not so much.  I’ll wait til after I eat breakfast to clean the frying pan (usually because I… Read more >

Hidden greens

Another post on allergy friendly baby meals (and other ideas/thoughts/notes).   Here we are at 12 months… I was telling my mom recently that each day it feels like two steps forward & one step back in the eating department.  [Actually I said one step forward, two steps back, but we really are moving in the positive so that’s an inaccurate portrayal of the situation] Truth be told, I bet all parents feel like this, even the ones without children with allergies.  Some days he eats everything that touches his tray, other days he refuses… Read more >

My highlights: week 7

  Mama’s little helper.   The addition of shoes to the wardrobe has transformed him into a little boy.  He’s non-stop exploring.  Still not walking, but he’s perfected his cruising skills, so it’s only a matter if time (days). Green toys.  And now the word tractor is a part of his vocab.  Davis appropriate. Inspired by Vintage Mixer’s kale coconut & chicken salad I made this guy for lunch.  I have been struuuuuggling with lunches lately.  I don’t know what to eat without soy or nuts or hummus.  I’ve been trying to limit meat to… Read more >

Sneaky squash muffins

  As I’ve shared several times before, this recipe is on repeat all the time here at the HHH household.  It’s an allergy friendly winner!  I make it with blueberries instead of chocolate chips most of the time, but sometimes (if I don’t have blueberries on hand), I just leave them as plain pumpkin muffins without any add-ins.  Still great!  Anyway, I wanted to try a savory version in an effort to trick P into eating some squash.  Yes, I’ve no resorted to "sneaky chef" techniques – baking veggies into my kid’s food.  I’ve been… Read more >
