Does your child need to gain weight? First, it’s important to determine if your child is indeed underweight and in need of intervention. There are so many factors that influence how your child grows, such as genetics (that’s a HUGE one), nutrition, environment, and activity. So when you find yourself comparing your child with how other babies are growing, please remind yourself that every child is unique. Healthy babies come in all shapes and sizes....

Complete the meal with some garlic herb carrot fries and sautéed asparagus with parmesan. Inside these chicken burger patties you’ll find: Ground chicken – a great, low-cal alternative to beef. Chopped spinach – keeps the chicken burger patties super juicy and tender. Feta cheese – so much flavor! Oregano – for a Mediterranean chicken burger vibe. Almond flour – just enough to hold the burgers together. Mix the ingredients in a bowl....

Complete the meal with a side of no yeast bread with herbs and cheese! There’s a lot going on in this soup, but what makes it really special is the incredible flavor of the creamy broth. It’s seasoned with Italian seasoning and the chicken is cooked in it which gives it the best taste. We splurge and use real cream in this recipe, cause sometimes nothing else will do. Swimming around in the tasty soup are a few veggies like carrots, onion, celery, and spinach....

Try our chocolate pumpkin pie for a chocolatey spin on everyone’s favorite fall dessert! We actually shared this recipe years ago but we’ve since made some changes to it. It used to be a more involved recipe, but we’ve simplified it so that it’s now quite easy to make. The texture of the chocolate pie filling is sensationally rich and smooth, almost like chocolate mousse or chocolate pudding, but in pie form....

Also, try our apple pancakes, lemon blueberry pancakes, and walnut banana protein pancakes. With tangy cranberries, white chocolate chips, and a sweet maple cranberry compote, they’re perfectly festive and equally impressive. You’re likely to have all the ingredients on hand so they’ll save you a trip to the store, too. They’re simple to make and you can easily double the batch if you’re making them for a crowd. Unless you want to be cooking pancakes all day, we highly recommend getting a few pans going to speed up the process....

Homemade Mango Popsicles My kids absolutely LOVE mangoes and so I purchase a huge bag of frozen mangoes from Costco. Even then, they don’t last very long at our house.

These creamy mango popsicles contain no added sugar and burst with tropical flavor. They’re seriously the perfect toddler snack and are a refreshing treat for everyone at any time of the day!...

You’re going to start your parmesan crouton adventure with a trip to the best bread bakery in your area. For us, that’s Tall Tree Bakery. If they have a loaf of cheese bread, herb bread, or some flavor that just sounds fantastic, pick up an unsliced loaf of that. Once you’re home, slice that tasty loaf of bread into cubes. We’ve cut these ones into (about) 1 ½ inch cubes, but you can cut them as big or small as you want....

Complete this Asian-inspired meal with sautéed boy choy and a side of mashed purple yams or simple steamed rice. This hoisin chicken is a no-brainer weeknight dinner because it’s really easy to make and crazy delicious. Most of the preparation time is hands-off which is great news, especially on weeknights when to-do lists are long and the evenings are short. Simply whisk together the sauce ingredients, smother the chicken drumsticks in the sauce, pop them into the oven, and dinner is ready in under an hour....

For more Korean-inspired dinners, try these Korean chicken thighs or gochujang pork chops. What is gochujang Gochujang is a staple of Korean cooking! The name comes from the Korean words: gochu, which means chili or hot pepper, and jang, which means paste or sauce. It’s a fermented chili paste that has a distinct and complex flavor profile: it’s spicy, a little sweet, and totally umami flavor – kind of like miso, but spicy....

Looking for other ways to level up regular old mayonnaise? Try this kimchi mayo and chipotle mayo! You can make your own harissa and use it to make this spicy harissa mayo, or you can use store-bought, which is what’s used in this recipe. Dip: dip your sweet potato fries, french fries, or any kind of fritter into this harissa mayo sauce. Drizzle: you can put some of this sauce over chicken kebabs or meatballs....

And while you’ll never know it, this creamy tortellini soup is made with mostly good for you ingredients. When I told my handsome man that there wasn’t any cream in this recipe, he didn’t believe me. It took a while to convince him and even then he was skeptical. This is healthy eats doing the best impersonation of comfort food. Truly the best of both worlds. Most tortellini soup recipes are loaded with cream, butter, and flour....

What is Korean Chicken and Potatoes One of my ultimate Korean comfort foods is chicken stew, otherwise known as dakdoritang “닭도리탕” or dakbokkeumtang “닭볶음탕.” It reminds me of my mom’s homecooking and always succeeds in soothing my soul. There are two versions of this dish. The spicy version contains Korean chili paste and chili flakes as its main sauce ingredients, while the non-spicy version includes soy sauce. I used to be a fan of the spicy version, but after I eliminated spicy food during my breastfeeding days, I totally became weak sauce....

Granulated sugar: Like any recipe, balance is key. Sugar provides a bit of sweetness to balance the alcohol. You can use variations such as agave, maple syrup, turbinado sugar, or simple syrup. I just don’t suggest honey, as it’s difficult to dissolve. Angostura bitters: You can find this in most grocery stores. To mix up the taste, try using black walnut bitters or orange bitters. Whiskey: You can use any type in an old fashioned recipe – I reach for the bourbon but enjoy rye, too....

Peanut Butter Yogurt I make a lot of different flavored yogurts because my oldest child woke up one morning and decided he doesn’t like plain yogurt anymore (although I think he’s slowly coming back around again). So far I’ve shared these easy blended yogurt recipes that are made with just 3-4 simple ingredients. Vanilla yogurt Banana yogurt Strawberry yogurt Mango yogurt Blueberry yogurt Pumpkin yogurt And now this peanut butter yogurt!...

For more twists on the classic, try a tequila negroni and an Aperol negroni! The rum actually softens the intensity of the negroni so if you’re on the fence about this bitter cocktail, this variation may be the one for you. But even if you’re a big-time fan of the classic (like us!) you’ll love this rum twist. Dark rum – In recipe testing, we found that dark, spiced rum holds up best to the bitter Campari flavor....
