Yummy, Nummy Mac & Cheese!
Ok, so I'm not that gifted in the area of cooking, BUT... thanks to this delicious recipe in COOKING FOR BABY by Lisa Barnes I can make a mean mac and cheese! It takes about 30 minutes to make and you can freeze it or you can pop in the fridge for up to 3 days. I altered the recipe a little bit and used vegetable wheat pasta plus I added a bunch of broccoli. I also didn't add any salt or pepper. In my opinion, it really doesn't need it. Oh, and the added bonus... My kiddo loooooooves it!
Bon appetit!

A few of my favorite (baby) things...
... In the kitchen!
I've recently been asked by a few new moms to give them recommendations on what they REALLY need when their little one arrives. So I've decided to take it room by room starting with the kitchen. To be honest, you don't need a whole lot, but these are a few key items that I could not have lived without while Betty Jane grew from a newborn baby to a toddler.
The Evenflo glass bottle with silicone sleeve (8 ounce and 4 ounce). I know it's a personal choice, but I love glass bottles. To me, they always seemed "cleaner" after 100 washings than BPA-free plastic bottles. I'm sure most bottles are fine, but like I said, it's a personal choice. One of the reasons I love these bottles is that the silicone sleeves are REALLY easy to remove and clean!
Now, if you're planning on making your own baby food, I highly recommend COOKING FOR BABY by Lisa Barnes. Yummy, nummy recipes!!!!
Next up we have the Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker. It's not a necessity, but it will make your life a whole lot easier.
I chose the Munchkin Fresh Food Freezer Cups to store all my baby food in. I like it because they are individual silicone cups so I can just defrost as much as I need. They also make great "on-the-go" snack containers for your little one's toddler years.
I chose to serve Betty Jane's baby food in these multi-colored ceramic souffle dishes. They are just the right size and, again, no plastic BPA mumbo-jumbo to worry about.
It seems that moms are always looking for the ultimate sippy cup. You know... One that doesn't leak, has a soft spout and, most importantly, one that your little one will drink out of! For me, I have found that the Nuby No Spill Sipper works the best. Believe me, I've tried a lot and I have a huge sippy cup graveyard.
Now we get to self-feeding which is always a very messy process. I love the Boon Catch Bowl. It's got a suction at the bottom to your sweet little peanut can't toss it overboard.
Those are my recs! Happy feasting!!!!
