Our favorite (frozen!) baby food
Written by Amy Shapiro
When I was pregnant, I swore to myself and anyone who would listen that I was going to make all my own baby food. Organic, all-natural, full of nutrients; I was going to do it all…from scratch. Ha! I quickly learned (like many of you, probably) that there just aren’t enough hours in the day. And between working, cleaning, and caring for my family, by the time I got to the kitchen, I was too tired to get creative.
That’s when I discovered Happy Baby: Premium Organic Meals for your Family in the freezer section of my supermarket (check out their website for a retailer near you). They offer a wide variety of organic and well-balanced meals prepared fresh and quickly frozen (to preserve maximum nutrition) in ice cube like trays (perfect portions) ready to be gobbled down by your little one. They’re full of grains like quinoa (high in protein), greens, including peas and spinach, fruit, and lean proteins like salmon (hello omega-3s!), so your child will develop a sophisticated palate filled with all the right nutrients. All you have to do is press defrost on your microwave; you don’t even need to dirty a dish! And it gets better. As your child grows and advances, so does the Happy Baby product line. The more teeth, the heartier the fare — Happy Baby knows how to keep up with kids.
Moving beyond the freezer and into the cupboard, Happy Baby has a variety of healthy snacks and oatmeal, too. My little guy loved their banana-flavored puffs (organic, cheerio-type things) and still eats the multi-grain cereal (chock-full of probiotics to promote regularity) daily. They’ve covered all the bases, so leave the cooking to the pros and spend more time cuddling with your kids instead of cleaning the dishes. Happy Baby = happy parents, no matter how you slice it!
As a nanny, my French family showed me how: the Beaba Babycook steamer: http://www.williams-sonoma.com...-babycook/
I passed this wonderful machine to the next two families i've worked for and now, to everyone. It's complete simple to use & ya'll will kick yourself for not getting. Check it out & hopefully, this wonderful machine will take the fears out of making homemade baby food!
Have a question for us?
