    What I Fed The Twins This Week

    Happy Friday, friends! Oh, what a long week it was indeed. Jason changed around his work schedule, which ultimately will be amazing but with any change, getting into a new rhythm takes time! As a result I am now solo in the mornings which means I may or may not have gone four days straight without washing my hair. Ugh. Just keeping it real here folks...hey, at least the twins got fed! Ha! I did however attempt to photograph a bit more variety this week from dinners to snacks! And like always, please comment in the section below with any toddler meals your little ones love, I'm always looking for new ideas. Here's what I fed the twins this week...

    Toddler Meals

    Breakfast: Cheesy scrambled eggs, cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread with butter & blueberry yogurt with chia seeds, blueberries and mandarin segments.

    Notes: The twins love cheesy scrambled eggs! Making this yogurt parfait was something new and they seemed to enjoy it.

    Toddler Meals

    Lunch: Mini turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread with smashed avocado, turkey, mayo and dill. Organic colby jack cheese cubes. Green Tahini Dip from Trader Joes with honey wheat pretzel sticks.

    Notes: The twins devoured these sandwiches! I don't love giving them processed lunch meat so I ask for roasted turkey breast to be sliced for sandwiches in the deli section of my grocery store. It's so much more delicious! Also, this Green Tahini Dip from Trader Joes is one of the twin's favorite things. Great for dipping!

    Toddler Meals

    Dinner: Organic Vegetable Radiatore with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes, sauteed zucchini & tomato and mozzarella salad.

    Notes: Pasta is pretty much my easy go-to dinner when all else fails. We love adding pesto and sundried tomatoes to our pasta instead of marinara. As for the "baby caprese" cherry tomatoes are a big hit with the twins!

    Toddler Meals

    Snack Smoothie: Frozen Acai puree, spinach and swiss chard mix, banana, raspberries, peanut butter and organic whole milk.

    Notes: When all else fails, make a smoothie! The twins love smoothies and I pack them full of protein and greens so it's a win-win! Also, Trader Joe's now sells Organic Un-Sweetened Acai Packets in the frozen section!

    Toddler Meals

    Dinner: Buttered peas, Spinach Dill Rice and Sun-dried Tomato & Feta Chicken.

    Notes: Dinner is always a modified version of what Jason and I are eating. This dinner was totally kid-friendly but I did add the addition of peas just for them. Also, I cut the chicken up very small...we are still working with a total of 10 teeth combined over here!

    Until next week! For a look at all kid-friendly recipes, visit the "kid-friendly" recipe section here.

      Random question... how do you feed your twins their smoothie? What type of container/vessel do you put it in and how messy is it really for them to eat? I want to start making smoothies for my 16 month old and feel so dumb that I don't know how to serve it to him.

      Love these posts btw!

        Hi Jaime, I'm so glad that you are enjoying these posts! Don't feel dumb, I wondered the same thing at first when serving them smoothies. I have tried lots of different vessels (is that the right word?) lol Sippy cups work but can be messy so recently I've found that reusable pouches with a spill proof top work well. Honestly, it's going to get messy no matter what you serve it in. I just run around the house after them with a wet washcloth as they drink. Ugh. Try ChooMee pouches with the sip'n top! http://www.choomee.com/

      My little one loves the brown rice and quinoa pasta from Trader Joe's with ground turkey + tomato basil sauce and I mix peas in there for some greens.

      My kid loves potatoes. She literally could eat them all day everyday. So we usually do red mashes potatoes with chicken, steak or pork chops and broccoli.

      She also loves Mexican food! So usually we do black beans, Mexican rice and chicken and she is all about that. Tonight we actually tried bean and cheese burritos in a very thin tortilla and she loved it.
