If portion control is something that you need to work on, then I have a product that you need to look into. I was recently made aware of a company called Fresh baby and I am impressed. We were sent a couple of their items and now I get to share with you!!! First up,  the toddler plate . We were also sent the adult portion plate as well. With both of these plates, they are divided into sections. You have fruit, vegetables, protein and grain.  I love that they are sectioned off so that kids (and adults alike) can see what they need to be eating more and less of.  I also love that they have both an adult and kids plate.  It is sometimes hard to teach a child to do one thing, when you as the teacher are doing another!  This will help to not only tell, but also to show. Finally, we were sent the Toddler Cookbook . This is a 48 page book that contains 35 recipes (that also includes recipes and nutritional information) to help make meal time better. If ...

I am not the best of cooks by any means, so when I can find something healthy and easy for Broxton , you know I want to try it! I was lucky enough to be part of the blog tour Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Kidfresh . We were told that the Kidfresh Products were at our local Publix , so we headed there to see, sure enough, right there in the frozen food aisle! You can check out their store locator to see where you can purchase. I bought one of each variety that they carried. (I was a bit disappointed, as they only carried 3 of the 6 different meals. I even looked to make sure that they were hopefully just out, but there was no space for it, or a label.) Either way, I grabbed them and brought them home... Here is what we bought: If you look, you can see Broxton pointing that he wants to try the Mac - +- Cheese . I had to give it a try as well. I loved it and Broxton gobbled it right up! It was very good with real cheese, not just some cheese sauce!!! Here is a look at the finis...

WHEN I cook, I look for easy and something that I think Broxton will like. Don't get me wrong, he isn't picky... It is just that somethings seem more appealing to him than others! So, when I heard about the latest book from Annable Karmel , I was all over it! Top 100 Pasta Dishes : Easy Everyday Recipes That Children Will Love ! Hello?! Did you read that?
