Sick Day Treat: Orange-Pineapple Popsicles Recipe 0
Toddler boss is at home sick with me today, so I decided to cheer her up a bit with these yummy Vitamin C-packed homemade popsicles. She LOVED them; and the best thing is that I kept it simple--just freshly squeezed orange and pineapple juices minus the pulp (courtesy of my Breville juicer) that I poured into my Tovolo twin pop molds. RECOMMENDED AGES: Toddlers 18+ months, although you can serve the diluted juice starting at 12+ months or once your baby has tried both ingredients.

Naan, Mushroom & Sweet Onion Pizza Recipe 0
Toddler boss LOVES pizza and I love coming up with healthy and fun combos that include her faves. I always use naan flatbread for the crust, which I get from Whole Foods Market or Wegmans in packs of 2-4. I prefer whole wheat, although I do sometimes use the traditional or garlic flavors, depending on what's in the combo. This creation is a sumptuous blend of sautéed cremini/oyster/shitake mushrooms and sweet onions with organic mozzarella and homemade ("bambini") sauce. As of this post, I've officially named it "The Lexi" after one my favorite haute mamas-to-be, a gourmet pizza lover and a loyal reader of my blog! RECOMMENDED AGES: 11+ months.
