Babies to Big Kids

This week I have picked up a new client, and I couldn't be more excited.  They are one year old and go do daycare!  This could be my complete niche, kids meal delivery. I am totally pumped about introducing kids to food in general as well as new flavors.

The menu planning is by far the most challenging part of the process.  Making food fun and interesting is difficult, but luckily with a one year old your goal is just to have them get the food in their mouths and tummies, without choking on it of course.  What was on the menu?

The first 3 days were a trial, so I decided to go with:


  • Roasted Organic Free Range Chicken Bites, Quinoa Balls (*think meatballs with quinoa as a substitute), Broccoli w/Lemon, Poached Potatoes,  Peaches
  • Organic Grass Fed Beef Hotdogs, Handmade Yogurt, Blueberry & Mint quarters
  • Beef "Bolognaise,"  Diced Hericot Vert, Valencia Orange Segments
All packed in "Freezer Pack" refrigerator.  

His favorite items? Quinoa Balls & Handmade Yogurt (neither shown in the pic below)




Another plus when cooking for kid/kids is the food cost is easily managed as you can buy and cook what you need.  Place like Fairway allow for you to purchase produce by the piece.  I love this! Plus the grocery bags are million times lighter.



Stay tuned for next week...it's gonna be a doozie! Cocktail party, BBQ, and now BABY FOOD DELIVERY!
