{Giveaway Closed. Thanks everyone for entering!}
Did you read about how to make Homemade Fruit Leather last week? Well Ruth Yaron, author of Super Baby Food, did and she wants to give one of my lucky readers a free copy of her book!
When Little Sweets was starting solids, Super Baby Food was the ultimate reference book for me! This is the book I used to get her to eat tofu as finger food, to learn how to cook kale and mix it into her oatmeal, to figure out how to make my own rice cereal, to experiment with growing my own sprouts, and even to teach myself how to eat healthier!
I learned so much from Super Baby Food and I still use it for healthy toddler treats like the Fruit Leather. I know you will love this book if you want to learn how to feed your little ones healthy food.
How to Enter:

Good luck!
I totally need to get that kale recipe from you!! The healthiest thing I used to make for Caleb was probably lightly sauteed asparagus! He used to eat it up . . . until he realized it was green. =P
ReplyDeleteMy kiddos love asparagus. We call them "Grinch Fingers." We also love making Gluten Free Chicken Fingers. Which is made from Gluten Free Italian Bread Crumbs, Olive Oil Spray (Pam), Chicken tender slices and an Oven! We make them ahead of time for the week.
ReplyDeleteI reposted your link.
ReplyDeleteHmmm sounds like a good book! Im following and off to find your facebook!
ReplyDeleteooo I want to win, I follow the sweeter than sweets blog!
ReplyDeletei also think I am already a fan on facebook but I'm not sure how to tell?
ReplyDeleteMy kids dont like anything healthy so I need this book! We went gluten free to top it all off 3 weeks ago. :( They do love Quinoa so Im experimenting with this. I love your site and will follow you now on FB. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any kids but I have lots and lots of nieces and nephews (brand new triplets born last month too) so I would love to win this as a gift!
ReplyDeleteThe older two girls love asparagus and veggies so thats definitely always on their plates. So far Luciana at 6months loves homemade foods better than the jarred baby food, so Ill take avocado and mash it for her. Or puree berries and bananas, rice and beans. She'll eat it all but I think her favorite is mango.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog = when you post it through facebook. ANd I am a fan of your FB page as well.
I have just discovered your blog and now follow!! Love the giveaway - anything that will help kids eat their vegies is a godsend! I hope you will stop by and say hi some time and if you like, follow me too :)
ReplyDeleteHave a fab weekend!

My healthiest toddler food option was letting my son chew on a corn cob as I walked through Walmart. He was happy, I was happy and it was good nutrious snack :-)

ReplyDeleteHey Tricia, what a Sweet blog :-) We mix ranch dip with greek yogurt to dip veggies in. Always looking for good new recipes...we have another little boy who is about to start eating. Have a great day!

I love this book! But I don't actually have it!!! It got passed from friend to friend to friend when we were introducing our babies to solids. But I would LOVE to have it for my toddler (I gave it back)- the recipes for older kids were great!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....healthiest? I used to make the super baby porridge from this book. That must have been really healthy.
Now that my daughter is a toddler (and a lot more picky) I try to make veggie-packed pasta sauce (with carrots, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, etc..) for the month and freeze it in cubes. When I make pasta I pop a cube in the microwave- she loves it, and I love that she's getting a good dose of veg. Fancy pants cook Jamie Oliver does this for his kids- so it must be healthy!
oh yeah, and I'm also your friend on FB :)
ReplyDeleteI reposted your link on fb
ReplyDeleteok, one more post- I also follow yr blog!
ReplyDeleteI made these chicken rice balls I got out of Jessica Seinfield's book and the kids LOVED them. They had no clue there was pureed squash in them. LOL. I even shaped them like little dinosaurs so they looked like dino nuggets.

ReplyDeleteI was always impressed with my little niece and nephew eating advacado slices. I would like to get my little one to eat healthy from the start this sounds like a great book. Definately adding it to the wish list.

I'm following your blog, Tricia! Love reading you! Kale is my 2 year old niece's favorite food...you would not believe how much she can consume! xoxo-Loren
ReplyDeleteWe do homemade popsicles all the time and we love them!
ReplyDeleteMy kids always like ants on a log (celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins). Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI make all of their babyfood and my favorites (and probably healthiest) are the fruit/veggie purees or the fruit smoothies I make my toddler son.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love avocados! :)

ReplyDeleteWell my daughter is only 3 months, so it's still a few weeks before she starts eating food. HoWeever, I plan on making my own baby food and this sounds like the perfect book to get me in the right direction. Hope I'm the lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteI shared your link on FB
ReplyDeleteAnts on a log. Not super healty but good enough. Celery stick filled with peanut butter and topped with raisins.

The healthiest food I make for my son is whole wheat pasta with lots of tomatos, cucumbers, carrots, red peppers, and bits of cheese in it. I would love to know how to cook and mix in the kale!

I would love to win this book. My daughter is 12 months and loves veggies,tofu, and fruit, but I would love to learn new ways to offer a bigger variety to her. I am a fan on facebook, following, and I tweeted! Thank you!

Sounds like a great book. I have so many pregnant friends right now and I'm sure one of them would love this. When my son was little I would make him baked pears and sweet potatoes. He just loved them!
ReplyDeleteThe healthiest foods we make for Amelia are the simplest.. flash steamed asparagus or green beans, organic apple slices, etc..
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that I LOOOOVE this book. I've checked it out so many times from the library that I think I'm probably flagged!

Love the blog, Tricia! I actually made hummus for my kiddo and she LOVES it. She's into dipping things, but she'll just spoon it! I'd love to try out this book, I've heard about it before, but not picked it up yet.
