Granola is a delicious treat at our house. We love to eat it by the handful or mixed with yogurt & berries. It’s a fabulous and healthy snack, breakfast, or lunch.

Why make your own baby food and freeze? Consider why you choose frozen peas over canned peas: better taste, better look, more nutritious.

Island Breeze

Island Breeze
Anni Daulter
Kiwifruit is very tart if you do not use a ripe one, so it is good to know when they are at their best. November through May is when Kiwifruit is typically in season. It's from New Zealand and has a brown furry skin on it that needs to be peeled off before eating.

Greek yogurt is becoming more popular and its because it has about double the protein that regular yogurt has and its high in probiotics and low in carbs!

Tarragon Carrots

Tarragon Carrots
Shane Valentine
Carrots are super sweet when pureed, and I added tarragon, an herb typically used in French cooking, which only enhances its naturally sweet flavor. Babies, quite simply, adore their carrots!

Sofrito

Sofrito
Shane Valentine
Sofrito is the base used in virtually all Puerto Rican cooking, similar to the mirepoix used in France and the soffritto used in Italy. It's not to be eaten by itself. Traditionally, sofrito is made with recao and aji dulce. These 2 ingredients may be hard to find so I created a version without them

Ratatouille

Shane Valentine
