Raising healthy children

Ever since our twin boys were born we have wanted nothing but the best for them, so when it was time to introduce solids to the mix we chose to only feed them organic and healthy food.  To save money and make sure we knew what was in their food I decided to make all of their baby food.  Don't get me wrong, when we were on the go or I was just too busy to make a batch of something we did use organic jarred food. We introduced solids around 4 months by the recommendation of our GI specialist. Our boys had bad reflux and a milk protein intolerance so he said solids would help.....he was right!  Once our boys started solids at 4 months we noticed there was a lot less spit up and we were able to wean them off of all reflux meds.  By 9 months I was able to introduce dairy back into my diet and they have now outgrown the dairy intolerance.

Now that they only like finger foods I have been having so much fun making their food and trying new recipes.  I wanted to consolidate the recipes I've tried in a blog for other mamas and dads!  I aim for sugar free and little to no added salt as well as using organic as often as possible. It's so time consuming to search all the different websites and remember where I found it.  I also have a hard time knowing if I'm doing it right so I'm going to show you how to make recipes and show you what they look like when I'm done.  I will let you know if they pass the twin test! Please let me know if you'd like to be featured on the blog with one of your recipes and reviews!  As always, comments, suggestions, variations and reviews are always welcome! Lets get cooking!
