Just to start out with a simple post about this blog. I have had this blogspot for approx 2 years now and haven't posted anything! I think I'm intimidated to get started, but am going to just take the leap and write my first post that I suspect only a few people will read. {probably just my husband and I!}
My objective for this blog is to provide families with new ideas and ways to minimize processed foods in their families diets. Why will this blog be different?? I'm not sure yet, I'm hoping to come at it with a simple approach of easy, whole foods for all ages. Although, my specialty really is 3 and under, I can't wait to explore some ideas to simplify mealtime for the whole family and address concerns for all ages...even us adults sometimes!
A few things to remember for the 'tiny faces':
1. Exploring the taste, smell, touch and look of food is necessary not only for mentally processing and age development, but it also is key in digestion.
2. If you are a parent that doesn't like textures or doesn't know how to cook or cook well, I'm hoping this blog inspires you to try the activities mentioned and engage along side of them...who knows...maybe it will help your overall diet as well
3. Simplify, simplify, simplify. With recipes or meal ideas or food prep, it's best to start simple and expand upon ingredients or level of difficulty.
More to come...
Cheers,
Kimber
