Day 1

OK. I've decided, after much hesitation, to enter the world of blogging. But here's the thing.... this will NOT be like most other "mommy blogs" where i tell you about the crazy day I've had, what milestones the babe has reached, or how exhausted I am because naps are non-existent in my house. I know, I know. Some of you are very disappointed. I realize I can be quite witty and entertaining on a regular basis. But....I think its fair to say that not everyone would agree with that. I can't imagine it... but it must be true.

So..... with that being said, I've started this blog because I want your help. Prior to having Caeden I would say my culinary skills were lacking.... at best. I would consider it a good day if I managed to boil water and add pasta without killing it. But with the arrival of my little man I decided to embark upon the journey of homemade baby food making. I thought: "how hard can it be to mush up different fruits and vegetables", while at the same time thinking: "he's never eaten anything before so he has nothing to compare it to. I'm safe". What I discovered was that I LOVE cooking for him. And I must say.... almost all of it is pretty darn good. Kevin (husband) actually asks me to make the same stuff for him. He NEVER asked me to cook before baby. :)

This is where YOU come in. Share your recipes. Recipes you've created. Recipes you've found/tried/and baby has enjoyed. Recipes kids can help bring to fruition. Recipes for the babe/kid-on-the-go. Recipes for the mom-on-the-go. Recipes that can be made and frozen in bulk. Recipes for the newest foodie. Recipes for the foodie ready to graduate to "big people food". Snack ideas. Cookbooks you like. Websites you like. Must-have kitchen items. Photos of the deliciousness you've created. Photos of your little ones eating those delicious dishes.

In a nutshell, I want this to be a place where moms of kids of all ages can exchange recipes and food ideas. We all know how hard it can be to get a child of any age to eat. The more options we have the better. So here it is: Ready, Set, GO!

I also realize I have to post some recipes to get us started but I wanted to wait until I sent out the blog link. But..... don't worry. I have plenty of recipe posts saved and ready to go. :)
