Homemade Salsa Bolognese Using Left Over Taco Meat
Posted by Courtney Lopez on
Stretching the dollar, and stretching our dinners .. that’s what I’m doing these days. We try to buy only organic so if I see a bulk buy for ground beef I make it all and freeze some and keep some in the refrigerator. I like making the ground beef seasoning with taco mix (recipe coming soon!) and mixing it up different ways! Since my daughter’s FPIES trial we’re really trying to get her to TRY the ground beef so I’m trying every recipe I can and she loves taste testing! The only problem is she spits out the meat. Not so much of a trial then.. huh?
How to feed a picky eater
Posted by Courtney Lopez on
Do you need to know how to feed a picky toddler? Feeding a picky toddler hasn’t been easy for us, at least not in the beginning! Not such a bonus, we struggle with FPIES. Currently we’re up to 30 safe foods and 3 trigger foods. When I look at all the food she has trialed for FPIES and her now safe foods for FPIES I am SO HAPPY. We have come so far in a little less than a year. Now our struggle is getting her to actually eat. She loves to nurse and we’re happy to extend breastfeeding, but her doctors are worried about her weight. I would typically set her plate up in hopes she’d eat but every new food she tried she wouldn’t care for the previous foods. Right now her favorite is oranges.. she has an orange obsession!
I’ve come up with little fun ways to ensure she’s eating, hopefully gaining, and always happy! You should never force feed a child. IF you want them to eat you have to make it fun and not traumatic. My grandma, may she rest in piece.. she would make me eat (canned) beans until I was crying hysterically and bribe me with ice pops that were nonexistent. Scared me for life. I will never, ever, eat barbecue beans or beans from a can.
So.. back to the tips.. this is what works for us and it’s working EXTREMELY well!

Homemade Quicksand : DIY Kids Activity
Posted by trisha haas on
This week Charlotte has been out of school for 3 days. The crazy cold spell that hit the south kept the buses off the streets and the kids wishing they could go outside. But in our house 6 degrees outside and no under armor means that mom just has to think of LOTS of things...
