Say Yes to 4 of Children’s Favorites Foods
July 1, 2013 by Leave a Comment
My appearance this morning on CBS Better Mornings Atlanta was sponsored by Applegate Farms. When you ask children what their favorite foods are, the top three are generally hot dogs, pizza and chicken nuggets. But these foods aren’t generally on the top of parent’s lists for what to feed their children. In a recent […]

Before I get to the food this past week, which there were some home run dishes, I wanted to share my wonderful news. I was honored by the Georgia Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics with the Distinguished Service to the Media Award. I was so excited to be presented with this award as I love […]

December 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This holiday season will be my daughter’s first. She turns 1 year old in January. While she is eating a wide variety of foods and textures, she isn’t quite to the point of eating everything we do.

Breaking My Peanut Butter Aversion
July 13, 2012 by 1 Comment
One might have called it a borderline phobia. I called it a strong aversion. Peanut butter and I were not friends. I could not even stand the smell of it, which prompted an automatic gag reflex.

Picky eater. Just saying the two words makes me cringe, as it does many a parent. When I first started this blog, I envisioned post after post about all the wonderful foods I’d introduce to my son and he would happily eat it up. Well, that of course, wasn’t the case. Eating was and is […]

Happy 1st Birthday
December 29, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Cameron’s first birthday was this month. He was also christened on the same day so it was a very big celebration with the family. Leading up to the big day, I was going back and forth about what to do for his cake. Cameron hasn’t had egg whites yet, and we weren’t sure if he reacted […]

November 20, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Finally, Cameron has outgrown his intolerance to the protein found in dairy products. This means freedom for me, as I’ve been dairy free since his birth (and I love cheese, milk and yogurt!), and yogurt for Cameron! Yogurt is a great source of protein, calcium and gut-friendly probiotics. Yes, there are alternatives for those that can’t do […]
