Fruit-and-yogurt smoothies are the perfect quick breakfast for a child who doesn’t eat breakfast very well; they also make an ideal snack during the day. These Sunshine Smoothies are full of vitamins and nutrients, and kids just love them. For added fun and enjoyment, serve smoothie with a straw in an appealing cup (perhaps decorated with stickers) as shown in the photo here.

Baby's Spaghetti Meat Sauce8–10 baby servings (4 adults servings)

Add the beef and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the carrots, cover, and cook sauce over When the sauce is thick, stir in the basil (if using) and cook until the zucchini is soft. Serve over spaghetti, and sprinkle some freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. Season adult portions with salt and pepper.

As a live-in nanny, my weekends were my own, and I would spend most of my time out. One Sunday afternoon, however, I popped my head into the kitchen to say hi to my boss. She was feeding nine-month-old Jake and looking very distressed. “What’s wrong?” I asked her. “Jake will never eat more than three mouthfuls of food,” she said. “What am I doing wrong”? I explained to her that whenever I fed Jake his meals, I always ate my meal at the same time; Jake would become excited when he saw me eating, and he would often mimic me. Sharing meals with Jake, in fact, took the focus away from him, and he would often even try to feed himself. From that day on, my boss made sure Jake shared meals with the whole family. That’s why this recipe became a favorite for Jake and his three-year-old sister, Sarah. This sauce freezes very well. I often double the quantity and freeze half.
