Once I developed the homemade low sodium teriyaki sauce/glaze recipe, the first thing that came to mind was “I MUST try it with salmon!” So here we are ;). Easy salmon recipe for babies also happens to be one of the most popular requests that I receive on Instagram so I’m super excited to share this simple recipe with you! Is salmon healthy for babies? Absolutely! Salmon is packed with essential nutrients, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, which is super important for baby’s brain development....

If you’re a fan of eggs benedict, try our smoked salmon eggs benedict and Mexican eggs benedict. Coconut Shrimp: The peeled and deveined shrimp first get dusted tapioca starch and sea salt. Then they go for a swim in a mixture of egg, Thai curry paste (homemade or store-bought) soy sauce (you can use gluten-free), and ginger. Finally you’ll coat them in a mixture of shredded and desiccated coconut – Shredded coconut has a coarser texture whereas desiccated coconut is very fine....

Constant Toddler Snacking Snacks can absolutely (and should) be a healthy part of a child’s diet. Their small stomachs coupled with their high-energy mean they need to be eating often. However, snacking all day long will not only ruin their mealtime appetites but start a vicious cycle and unhealthy habits that can be hard to break the longer they go on. Listed below are the top reasons why you may be finding it difficult to break out of the constant grazing and what you can do to make the necessary shift toward structured eating....

It’s over 70 degrees and here we are enjoying hot soup. For me, soup is any-time-of-the-year food! It’s easy to make, budget-friendly, versatile, awesome for bulk and freezer cooking, and most importantly, soul-warming! Any fellow soup lovers here? Luckily, my toddler loves his soups just as much as his mommy, if not more! I love it because it’s a great way to pack in a lot of nutrition into his diet with minimal effort....

What do you normally reach for when you are feeling stressed out, tired, depressed, bored or even when you’re happy? Umm..chocolate, brownies, cookies, ice cream, anyone? What do these things all have in common? Sugar in all its highly processed glory. It is the ingredient that turns not so tasty “foods” into highly palatable products. As I mentioned in an earlier post I wrote in regards to the development of childhood food preferences, we have an innate preference for sweet things....

For this month’s Recipe Redux theme, it’s all about travel snacks or mini meals. While the Hungryman and I had plans to travel a lot this summer, including a trip to Korea, they all came to an abrupt halt upon learning the devastating news that my father-in-law’s cancer had resurfaced after 15 years. Rather than hopping on a plane, we spend a great amount of time in the car driving back and forth to visit him in Houston....

For more easy meat and potato meals, try our sheet pan salmon with crispy potatoes and our one pan chicken potato gratin. See this helpful post on how to cut potato wedges! To make it, simply parboil the potato wedges so they’re partially cooked before they go into the oven. This is our trick for fries (chips) with a soft interior and a crispy exterior. While they’re baking, we dredge the white fish in flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs....

Usually, we opt for more usual flavors, like our delicious strawberry ice cream, but this beer ice cream is a wonderful and unique treat. Try other unique ice cream flavors, like tonka bean ice cream and matcha ice cream. This ice cream comes together in 30 minutes but will need 4 hours total time to cool and freeze. Your best bet is to make it ahead of time and enjoy it during that backyard BBQ or game night....

Halloween is the best. There are so many creative desserts, treats, snacks, and meal ideas out there that make this holiday so much fun – and I love watching my daughter’s imagination come alive! But Halloween can be so much more than just sweet treats. This year, treat yourself and your family to a delicious and healthy Halloween dinner recipe. Staying healthy doesn’t mean giving up the Halloween theme, though....

For more delicious birthday treats, try our birthday cake ice cream! You can serve it in a big bowl, or roll it into balls for a fun handheld treat. Either way, it’s going to result in some sticky fingers, which we think is part of the fun. This birthday cake popcorn is a fun treat for kids, but everyone loves it. It’s not just for birthdays either. It’s a delicious sweet snack for wedding showers, baby showers, movie nights, and celebrations of all kinds!...

If you love caramel popcorn, also try our bacon caramel popcorn! While this makes a great snack, we love serving it after dinner as we love how fun and unconventional popcorn for dessert feels. It’s playful and light and oh so unexpected. It also makes a great treat for movie nights. Or pack it up and give it as a gift that will be loved! Use rum or whiskey instead of bourbon....

Also, make some coconut lemon energy balls for a citrusy take! 3 reasons to make these coconut bliss balls this week To make these coconut energy balls you’ll need 5 simple ingredients: Finely shredded coconut: Use 1 ½ cups of shredded coconut for the base of the energy balls. Plus, have a bit more on hand to garnish the top of each sphere once you’ve dipped them in chocolate. Yum!...

If you’re digging the chorizo and eggs combo, also try chorizo shakshuka! Keep this quick and delicious with this chorizo egg scramble. It’s a perfect recipe for those mornings when you want something hearty but you don’t have a lot of time. It has tons of flavor because the eggs are cooked in the same pan as the chorizo, then cheddar cheese is folded in. The end result is a rich, salty, and smoky dish with a wonderful texture from the chorizo....

For another Thai-inspired recipe with just two minutes of cooking time, try this Thai noodle salad. Coconut milk: The base of the velvety sauce. Tahini: Brings a nutty, subtly sesame flavor. Thai red curry paste: Make your own using spice rack staples or buy one from the store to add Thai-inspired flavor. Soy sauce: Balance the flavors with a umami note. Harissa paste: Adds a smoky depth of flavor. Garlic and ginger: Adds savory and zesty notes....

For another holiday-inspired cookie, try our white chocolate cranberry cookies. I love these coconut macaroons with dried cranberries for a few good reasons: I sometimes add little drizzle of dark chocolate, which makes them feel a little extra special, but it’s not necessary. White chocolate drizzle is also a nice option if you’re not paleo or vegan. To make these macaroons vegan you can swap the honey for maple syrup, but you’ll need a gentle hand and a little patience....

If you love cranberry drinks as much as we do, also try our Christmas cranberry margarita or cranberry hot toddy! It’s easy to make and you can prepare it in advance, too. To make the cranberry syrup, simply simmer the cranberries on the stovetop with sugar and rosemary, then strain it to remove any solids. Pour the syrup into a pitcher with fresh lemon juice, orange juice, water, and ice....

Make this easy caesar dressing while you bake some garlic parmesan croutons or bacon croutons for a homemade, restaurant-quality caesar salad. To save time, we use mayonnaise as the base. Then we add ingredients you likely have in your pantry like parmesan, lemon juice, anchovy paste, dijon mustard, garlic, and salt and pepper. Simply stir it all together and serve it right away or (ideally) let it sit so the flavors can blend....

Pasta in Green Sauce, YES please! I love veggie-loading pasta sauces (hello sweet potato sauce, hidden veggie sauce, and butternut squash sauce) because it’s such an easy and delicious way to get more veggies into my children’s diets that they may not otherwise eat. Spinach (and other leafy greens) in its raw form is a challenging food for my 5 year old, especially. But he doesn’t mind it in spinach pancakes, hulk muffins, and green smoothies....

Roasted Cinnamon Apples There’s no arguing that biting into a fresh, crisp apple, especially during the fall season, is one of those simple things in life that can truly make you happy. But have you tried roasting one?!? Magic happens in the oven as the roasting process caramelizes the apples bringing out their natural flavor and sweetness, just like with these Korean sweet potatoes that come out tasting like honey. Just imagine warm, tender apples blended with cinnamon....
