Lemon Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Nothing quite says “grab-and-go” breakfast like a muffin. However, for your most important meal of the day, the muffin can often fall short. Most store bought muffins are just glorified cupcakes.

Turkey & Apple Meatballs Recipe
A sauce-stained high chair and noodles on the floor, spaghetti and meatballs is a rite of passage for every child. Unfortunately, traditional meatballs can leave much to be desired.

To lower the sugar in…

Hidden Veggie Pasta Sauce Recipe
Two things we’ve learned while spending time with kids. 1) Not all kids eat their vegetables. 2) Almost all kids love pasta. With those two facts in mind, we wanted to create a pasta sauce that snuck in as many veggies as possible — for those moments when little ones decide to be picky and…

Turmeric has become increasingly…
Dreamy Dragon Fruit Smoothie Recipe
Smoothies can be a controversial snack for little ones. This is because they are usually packed with fruit sugars.

Mango & Squash Smoothie Recipe
Who doesn’t love a good mango? Not only are they scrumptious, they’re also packed with potassium, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and magnesium.
