    What I Fed The Twins This Week

    Happy, happy Friday my friends and readers! Thank you for once again being here on this toddler-feeding journey with me. This week was a challenging one food-wise. Jackson has been increasingly difficult (but still easy in comparison) to feed. He is mostly so eager to play and get out of his highchair that I end up chasing him around the house trying to shove bites of his meal into his mouth, ugh. One tip that's helped a little is allowing him to stand and eat with his plate on the food rest of his highchair. Of course now Millie wants in on the action and it turns into a big old mess all over the kitchen floor but hey, they are eating so in my book I'm still winning. Here's a look at What I Fed The Twins This Week...

    Breakfast: Chia pudding, sliced banana and raspberries.

    Notes: The twins love chia pudding and it's super healthy! I mix chia seeds with whole organic milk, smashed banana, almond butter, cinnamon and vanilla and let it sit overnight to thicken. Messy but delicious. I'm sharing the ACTUAL recipe next week so check back! As for the raspberries...not a hit.

    Toddler Meals What I fed the twins

    Snack: Apples with almond butter for dipping, Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares, organic colby jack cheese cubes.

    Notes: I find that softer varieties of apples such as Red Delicious or McIntosh work best for my twins. Also, I still peel them due to lack of molars. As for almond butter, Justin's packets are also an amazing snack!

    Toddler Meals What I fed the twins

    Dinner: Shredded beef quesadillas, black beans with avocado and strawberries.

    Notes: I try very hard to feed the twins exactly what Jason and I are eating and usually it works. However, this night I made us shredded beef tacos. Millie is not a huge meat lover so I "hid" the shredded taco meat inside of quesadillas. They gobbled them up. I'll be sharing my Crockpot Shredded Beef Taco recipe on Monday!

    Toddler Meals What I fed the twins

    Lunch: Tomato Basil Soup, grilled cheese stars and Annie's Organic Cheddar Squares.

    Notes: The perfect rainy day lunch! Bibs definitely required.

    Toddler Meals What I fed the twins

    Dinner: Homemade Minestrone Soup, snap peas and hummus for dipping.

    Notes: This meal was the hit of the week and we ate it twice! It's hilarious how much the twins love soup. Jackson is obsessed with slurping it up and I let him...because he's eating. We can work on table manners later. Recipe coming soon!

      Leah....I am not a mom, yet but this is one of my favorite features lately. I really admire the meals you feed the twins. They are always colorful, have different textures, and a variety of flavors which I would think would keep them from being finicky eaters now and as they grow. I suspect the twins are going to be foodies with some advanced palettes when they get older! Once I have kids, I know I'll be referencing your meals.

        Thank you Lauren! I really hope so. I just try to feed them whatever I'm eating or something similar and kid friendly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Lol But thank you!!

      Can I be your baby? It all looks good and so cute! Don't let my girls see this, okay?

      These are such great meal ideas for little ones; I'll definitely be following! I have an 18-month old who is a good eater, but I am always looking for new ideas to add variety for her. This week our two big dinner hits were zuchinni noodles with ground turkey and tomato sauce one night, and broccoli cheddar quinoa bites (made in mini muffin tins) another night. Both made great daycare lunches the next day, too!
