Wee-licious

For a while there, I was cooking up a storm for my daughter. I was a member of an organic food share, I was finding new recipes, chopping, dicing, slow-cooking, fast-cooking, I was even cooking Kale.
Lately, I've lost my cooking mojo and have been stuck in frozen food purgatory, but today I saw a post on my friend's facebook page and clicked onto Weelicious.com. I got my mojo back. I went and bought ingredients I needed. I mixed and whisked and made these delicious Peanut (well, Almond) Butter and Jelly frozen pops. So easy. Tomorrow, I have the Avacado and honey dip on my to-do list and am actually looking forward to it. I think I just needed a little inspiration, so thanks Weelicious. The thing I love most is that they have an amazing number of specified categories including dairy-free, gluten-free and egg-free.
Crossing my fingers that my daughter digs the PB&J pops tomorrow.

Lightweight lunches

My daughter received one of these neoprene insulated lunch bags by Built NY for her first birthday...it also doubled as the gift bag for a beautiful dress. It's a great size, big enough for two straw-cups, a sandwich and several 2-oz cubes of food. It's also lightweight and comes in a selection of adorable designs. Vinyl-free, PVC-free, and machine washable. More information at www.builtny.com. Also available at Amazon.com (Obsessed Moms receives a percentage if you purchase through this link).

"Just right" sized glass containers for heating home-made baby food

These glass containers by Innobaby are the perfect size for heating up 2-4 oz. of homemade baby food. The lids are silicone and snap on oh-so-snuggly. They're a bit pricey, but totally worth not having to worry about plastic leaching into baby's food. The glass is thick enough that I just heat them up in a pot with a shallow of amount of water on the stovetop. They also fit into the Beaba Babycook steamer for reheating. Buy Buy Baby sells them as well as oompa.com.
