3 Things to Think About Before Introducing Solids
Arianny from Baby Prep Sundays stopped by this week to share tips for starting solids.
Hey moms and dads! So you are in your kitchen ready to prepare some food for your baby? If so, are you truly prepared? Do you know what you will make? Do you have something to puree it with? Where will you store it? These are all answers you will need before you get into the kitchen. But don't worry, here are some guidelines to help you:
From Farm to Pouch | Fall Edition
Even though in parts of the country it still feels like summer, we are getting into the fall spirit. If Costco already has Christmas decorations out, we can at least start thinking pumpkin patches, apple picking and comforting fall recipes, right?
One of the best things about the changing seasons is that it means our farmers market will be stocked with all sorts of new, in-season produce.
Announcing Our New Arrival: Really Little Green Pouches!
When Melissa’s baby girl Parker was ready for some Real Food purees, we knew it was time for Little Green Pouch to get even littler. At 3.4 ounces, our Really Little Green Pouches are great not only for early eaters, but also for travel.
Come meet our new little cutie!

Our Real Food Journey Continues
We’re now in week two of our 100 Days of Real Food initiative. We hope you’re on board! The time is nigh to provide a little inspiration (and motivation?) by letting you know where to find great Real Food Pouch Recipes.
First, we’ll go ahead and toot our own horn, and point you to our Real Food Pouch Recipes page, which is a fantastic 
resource for tasty (and easy) Real Food recipes. There you’ll find Real Food Pouch Recipes like Roasted Apple and Parsnip Puree (with an awesome instructional video), Baked Quinoa e Fagioli with Veggies, Homemade Yogurt (in a Crockpot!), Spiced Up Yams and Broccoli and Carrot and Nectarine Smoothie. These and other Real Food Pouch Recipes are tagged as Real Food, for your convenience, and stamped with our handy Real Food Badge.
Next (horn toot number two), on our new Real Food Pinterest Board you can find a great collection of Real Food Pouch Recipes that meet our Real Food (and tasty) standards. Make sure to follow along. (We apologize in advance if you spend two hours in the “Pinterest Time Suck” after taking a peek at our new board (Melissa is probably there as we speak.))
Finally, we are excited to share a fantastic new Real Food Pouch Recipe from Lauren Kelly, CN (awesome recipe developer, cookbook author, food blogger and nutritionist). Lauren’s put together a Real Food Pouch Recipe that she says “is so easy to prepare, there is no excuse not to make it.” Lauren’s Unsweetened Pear Applesauce in the Slow Cooker is so good that there’s “no turning back after you try this.”
We’ll check in with you next week to see how all is progressing on the Real Food front, and give you a few Real Food Pouch Recipes for the holidays (we can’t believe they are here so soon!).
Happy cooking,
Maggie & Melissa
