Chloe Eats: Snack

 It was Chloe's idea to mix the almonds and cranberries in the yogurt, I love watching her experiment with food even if that means a bigger mess for me to clean! Also she is getting so good at eating from a bowl and spoon!

A favorite snack of Chloe's lately is a small bowl of Greek yogurt with sliced almonds and dried cranberries. It's simple, delicious and most importantly nutritious! 

What is your your child's favorite snack to eat?

Chloe Eats: Breakfast

Here is the story about the purple balloon Chloe's holding if your wondering. We got Chloe this balloon while grocery shopping on Sunday, she hasn't let go of it since ( expect for her morning nap and bed time), no joke! Right now we have the balloon hiding in our closet but I guarantee you she'll find it the moment she gets up from her nap! I had no idea she was going to love this balloon so much!

Chloe loves scrambled eggs and eats them nearly everyday for breakfast. So Instead of our usual scrambled eggs mixed whole milk and cheese I decided to try something a little different and add some organic spinach and lunch meat turkey breast. Super simple to make and Chloe absolutely loved it!

Here's what I used:

:: Cage free vegetarian fed eggs

:: Organic whole milk from Trader Joe's

:: Mild cheddar cheese

:: Lunch meat turkey breast

:: Organic spinach

I steamed the spinach first in a large pan with a little bit of water, when it was done I drained the spinach and cut it up into smaller pieces. I then proceeded to cook the eggs as usual, adding the spinach and lunch meat in when the eggs looked to be half way done. I then added the cheese when the eggs looked like they were almost done cooking.

Serve with a pinch of ground pepper and fresh fruit!

Chloe Eats: Dinner

Her "too spicy" face, poor girl.

Mike had to work late yesterday so for dinner I wanted to make something that was easy and fast, nachos with everything on them.

Here's what I used:

:: Organic ground turkey

:: Organic yellow corn tortilla chips

:: Mexican cheese blend

:: Very mild salsa

:: Taco seasoning

:: Spanish rice

:: Avocado

:: Sliced black olives

I was able to get everything I needed for this meal at my local Trader Joe's. It was so easy to make and tasted delicious! The only problem I had was that the taco seasoning I got was very spicy and Chloe absolutely hated it! I tried to mix everything together to see if that would make it less spicy for her but unfortunately it didn't work so Chloe ate everything but the ground turkey.

I will definitely be making this meal again but next time I will use mild taco seasoning or just make my own seasoning to use instead.

Chloe Eats: Breakfast

I know this is my third breakfast post but I swear one of these day's really soon I will remember to take pictures of what Chloe eats for lunch and dinner, I promise! 

This morning I made Chloe and I organic steel cut oatmeal with a little bit of butter and raw honey to taste. This is a super easy and nutritious breakfast that Chloe and I both love. The only thing I think I will change next time I make this is to add some dry fruit to it.

Chloe Eats: Breakfast

A typical breakfast for Chloe is usually scrambled eggs made with almond milk and a little bit of cheese, some fruit, and maybe a piece of toast. Chloe loves scrambled eggs and could probably eat them everyday!

The question I have for all of you is, what is your child's favorite fruit or fruits to eat? Chloe loves blueberries, grapes, blackberries and sometimes bananas and pears but I would love to get her to enjoy eating more fruit and have more of a variety in her diet.

Chloe Eats: Lunch

Chloe's lunch a few day's ago consisted of blackberries ( which she loves) , peas, corn, and for the first time ever I gave her organic unsalted peanut butter on a piece of whole wheat toast. She ate mostly everything except for the peas and corn which she only ate a little of. Chloe seemed to really love trying the peanut butter for the first time and I'm happy to say she isn't allergic to it!

Oh and that brown spot on Chloe's face is peanut butter! To make sure she wasn't allergic to it before I let her try some I just put a little dab of it on her cheek and left it on for 20 minutes to see if she would have any reaction to it. She didn't have any reaction to the peanut butter so I then let her try some on a piece of whole wheat toast! Thank you Leah for the great tip, Chloe absolutely loves peanut butter now!

I'd love to hear about what you give your child for lunch everyday, leave me a comment below!

Chloe Eats: Breakfast

I'm excited to announce that I am starting a new series here on the blog called Chloe Eats. I was inspired by the blog ohdeardrea after reading a few of her posts about what her daughter Marlowe eats. I'm always looking for new healthy foods to give Chloe so please feel free to share what your child eats for breakfast!

On this particular Saturday morning Chloe had blueberries, half a banana, and an organic flax seed waffle with organic coconut oil for breakfast. She ate everything except for the banana which she ended up sharing with my parents dog Ozzy! Bananas are a hit or miss with Chloe, some days she loves them and other days she wont even touch them, either way I still try to offer them to her from time to time.
