Friday Favorites #109 - Baby K Eats Edition

Did you hear it's Friday?

My thoughts exactly baby K, my thoughts exactly.

Favorites

As far as favorites go, this cat tops the list. I want to be as brave as this cat...

Food

A great way to start off the weekend! Last weekend I got both my Butcher Box and my Smoothie Box deliveries!

I still have a cacao smoothie with extra greens and Bobs Red Mill Maple Granola every day for breakfast.

For dinner one night I made these mini egg-free meatloaves (without the sweet potato topping) from the Real Food RDs. They were delicious!

And I finally got a chance to use my [easyazon_link identifier="B078JH4KNX" locale="US" tag="hunghobb07-20"]silicone muffin trays[/easyazon_link] that have a lid on them! Fewer dishes for the win!

On Wednesday, I threw together an "everything but the kitchen sink salad" to use up all of our leftovers. It had nectarines, sugar snap peas, red cabbage, sriracha sunflower seeds, and [easyazon_link identifier="B079RRCWWP" locale="US" tag="hunghobb07-20"]sesame ginger dressing.[/easyazon_link]

I realized recently I hadn't had as many salads this summer as I normally do. I realized that was because I can't have cheese, and what's salad without cheese? I've been trying though!

Food - Baby Eats Edition

I'm not sure if this should be its post? I know many of you are interested in seeing what Baby K is eating, but I'm not sure how to share.

Should I do it randomly in these posts?
Should I make it a monthly series?
Should I share recipes when I make them up?

What do you want to see! Leave a comment and let me know!

In addition to the new stuff below, we are also still doing plenty of purees, pouches, oatmeal, and yogurt. However, I started incorporating some finger foods too.

Avocado

First up, avocado slices with coconut flour around them to make it easier to grip.

Verdict? Not a fan. He doesn't love avocados unless they are hidden in things.

Baby Hummus

Next up, homemade baby hummus. I blended a can of no salt added garbanzo beans with a splash of lemon juice, a sprinkle of garlic, a sprinkle of onion powder, and a tiny, tiny, tiny pinch of cumin. I used the food processor and poured avocado oil in as it mixed up until it was creamy. When I served it to him, it was kindy of pasty, so I thinned it out slightly with water. He ate it for four days in a row.

Verdict? Neutral. He happily ate it so I'd say that was a win. I usually served it alongside some finger foods like baked sweet potato pieces, bread pieces, or muffins.

Baby Coconut Oil Banana Muffins (Egg-Free)

Inspired by Kath's baby muffins, I modified my coconut oil banana muffins by:

replacing ¼ cup oat flour for the coconut sugar
replacing the egg with [easyazon_link identifier="B01LX2AOMH" locale="US" tag="hunghobb07-20"]1 egg replacer [/easyazon_link]
using almond milk

(Baby K has tried almost all the top allergens (almonds, peanuts, sesame, wheat, shellfish, and fish) except we are both still an egg, dairy, and cashew free for now. Eventually, I'll do a full MSPI reintroduction post but feel free to leave a comment if you have questions on that!)

They came out great! He really really, really likes them! He will eat them for every meal if I let him.
