Creating recipes with Vienna in mind is something I'm super passionate about. Ever since she entered into the scene nearly 4(!!) year ago, I've been cooking up kid-friendly recipes that can also be enjoyed by adults (I'm not about to make separate meals for Vienna and Walker and me). I'm looking forward to sharing more of these creations with you and your family when Little Food Lovers launches in late spring. In the meantime, I've collected many of the kid- (and grown up-) approved recipes from my blog in this post!
In case you haven't heard the news, Little Food Lovers is an ebook series, in which you'll find family-friendly recipes, as well as lifestyle tips designed to get your kids excited about healthy eating! Little Food Lovers isn't just a guide – it's a lifestyle. It's about cooking with your kids, turning off screens and gathering around the table for a family dinner. It's about togetherness and fostering a positive relationship with food. Although it's not available just yet, you can get on the waitlist now! The first installment will launch in early June.
The recipes I'm sharing below have a few things in common:
- They're rich in fibre and phytonutrients, which nourish your child's microbiome
- They taste super yummy because when it comes to kids, deliciousness is EVERYTHING!
- They contain a good mix of complex carbs , good fat and protein but where they truly shine is all the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and variety of amino acids they contain.
- They're uncomplicated easy-peasy recipes you can whip up in a snap and I recommend you cook with your child as much as possible!
CONTEST ALERT!
