As a child, my mom made waffles for breakfast and I was never a big fan so until recentlyhttp://gaiababyfood.blogspot.com/2010/04/breakfast-for-dinner.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alisa Gaylord)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327477480308732846.post-7875202188388596928Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:35:00 +00002010-03-15T21:13:17.979-07:00easy dinnerfastThis is not what I would call a "sexy" dinner.  It's that meal I turn to when I didn't plan ahead, it's nearing dinner time, and I want to prepare something fast, easy, and delicious.  The ingredients are also always stocked in the kitchen so I know we have them. I use this marinade on chicken and pork so it's quite versatile.  I mix the marinade right in the baking dish to http://gaiababyfood.blogspot.com/2010/03/go-to-easy-chicken-dinner.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alisa Gaylord)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327477480308732846.post-8545755949487031950Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:52:00 +00002010-03-09T13:56:30.633-08:00babydiningpureedWhen Ethan was being introduced to pureed foods, like most families we occassionally enjoyed our grown-up meals out in a restaurant.  Since I made all of his pureed food and froze it, just before leaving for the chosen restaurant, I put the frozen cubes into a microwave-safe bowl with a lid.  When we ordered our meal, I would ask the server to warm the http://gaiababyfood.blogspot.com/2010/03/handmade-baby-purees-when-you-dine-out.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alisa Gaylord)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327477480308732846.post-8627412696141265304Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:31:00 +00002010-02-12T11:31:55.133-08:00I, like most of you out there, have a child who doesn't eat everything and it's really frustating.  Ethan is normally an easy-going boy, however as he's gotten older, he rebels when it comes to meal time.  Specifically, dinner time.  It started over a year ago when he would look at something I made and decide without trying it that he didn't like it and therefore wouldn't eat http://gaiababyfood.blogspot.com/2010/02/normal-mama-whos-kids-dont-eat.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alisa Gaylord)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327477480308732846.post-104485045029696705Tue, 09 Feb 2010 04:36:00 +00002010-02-08T20:36:53.864-08:00 One day at our local grocery store when Ethan was first being introduced to pureed foods, I stopped at the yogurt section.  I picked up a 4 pack of baby yogurt, as I started to place it into the cart, I happened to look at the ingredient list.  Thank goodness I did, the second ingredient was sugar!!  I couldn't believe that a well-known yogurt marketed for babies had such a high http://gaiababyfood.blogspot.com/2010/02/well-take-ours-plain-please.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alisa Gaylord)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327477480308732846.post-7307427483928583560Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:25:00 +00002010-02-05T16:25:02.129-08:00kids eating This morning I put the water on to boil to make our morning oatmeal.  As the water boiled, I opened the pantry cabinet to find we were nearly out of oatmeal.  Quick, what could I make that will be warm and filling like oatmeal, but something that the munchkins and I will like?  Quinoa?
