When it comes to feeding your baby - the size of the food you offer them matters.

6–8 Months: The “Palmar Grasp” Phase
At this stage, babies use their entire palm to pick up food. They cannot yet pick up small pieces, so the goal is “long and sturdy.”

The Rule: Finger-sized spears.

9–10 Months: The “Pincer Grasp” Phase
Babies are beginning to use their thumb and index finger to pick up smaller items. You can now move away from long spears.

The Rule: Chickpea-sized bites

11–12+ Months The “Table Foods” Phase
By now, babies are often eating modified versions of whatever the rest of the family is having.

The Rule: variously sized, bite-sized pieces

Parents with picky eaters - I see you! I know you’re trying so hard while still dreading the mealtime battle. I know you just want them to be healthy and to just eat their food, while they continue to challenge you on everything.

They want a snack. They don’t want dinner.
They’re full. They’re done. And they didn’t even try it.

Oh what’s that? Half hour later and they’re hungry?

If any of this sounds familiar, and you’re ready to take action and start reversing your child’s picky eating, reach out to start working together.

New study alert! 🚨

Research shows a link between ultra processed foods (UPFs) and toddler behavior. We live in a world of convenience, and UPF’s are everywhere. But don’t panic, the latest data shows that just a 10% shift can support better emotional health in our kids. No guilt, just strategy.

Got a picky eater?
Are you finding yourself stuck catering to them just so they eat, and not sure how to move towards getting them to eat the family meal?

The first step in getting your kid to eat is letting them get comfortable with new or unfamiliar foods. We can’t expect our kids to suddenly pick up a piece of broccoli if they never have the chance to see it.

If you’ve tried it all and nothing has worked. Have you tried working with me? Together we can help repair your child’s relationship around food, and get them feeling more comfortable at meals to explore new foods.

Bulgogi Beef & Broccoli
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds thinly sliced beef (ask your butcher for this or cut your steak after placing in the freezer for 30-60 mins)
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated/minced ginger
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 head of broccoli, chopped into small pieces
Optional shredded carrot, thinly sliced onion and cabbage (approx 1/2 cup of each)
2 tbsp canola oil (for frying)

Directions:
1. Combine soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic and ginger
2. Pour the marinade over the sliced beef and coat well. Store in a dish or ziplock bag and allow to marinate for at least 8-12 hours, up to 48 hours. You can also marinate and place in the freezer to use later.
3. To a pan on medium high heat, add canola oil and, working in batches, sear the beef, moving around until each piece is cooked. Set cooked beef aside and continue cooking the rest of the beef.
4. Add more oil to the pan if needed, and sauté the onion, carrot, cabbage if using then add the broccoli. Add 1-2 tbsp water and cover for 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove the lid and add the beef back, mix the beef and vegetables until everything coated in the sauce, cooled and heated through.
6. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with rice or noodles.

It may not be possible every single day, but the evidence is clear - there are many benefits to sitting down for a family meal that goes well beyond role modelling eating a variety of foods.

Weeknight meal loaded with antioxidants & omega 3 fatty acids! You’ll want to add this recipe to your dinner rotation.

Cozy Cod & Shrimp
Warm & comforting but also rich in omegas and lean protein. This cooks up quickly which makes it an easy choice for a weeknight meal. I like this paired with orzo or other small pasta or even a nice slice of crusty bread. You need something to help soak up the deliciousness of this sauce.

Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, diced
2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp each olive oil and butter
125 mL concentrated chicken broth (1/2 small tetra box)
2-3 Tbsp 10% cream
1 package peeled and de-veined shrimp, thawed
10-12 oz black cod, skin removed & cut into 3-4 inch pieces
3 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Directions:
In a large skillet, add oil and butter on medium heat, then add tomatoes and garlic. Cook covered for 5 minutes until tomatoes soften.
Stir and season with salt and pepper, add the broth and cream. Cook covered for another 5 minutes.
Add the cod pieces first and poach in the liquid on medium low until half way done (about 4 minutes). Then add the shrimp and cook until done (about another 2-4 minutes).
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley & serve with crusty bread, rice, or pasta!

These types of meals can be so successful and my kids are always big fans of these meals.

As a busy, working mom, I also love these meals because I can prep a bunch of food ahead of time and bring it all to the table.

Why does it work?
It gives kids more control and autonomy.
They can decide what to add, how much to add.
They get to leave behind any ingredients they aren’t ready for or that they just don’t like.

Some of our favourites:
RICE OR NOODLE BOWL
Grains: rice, udon noodles, chow mein noodles, edamame noodles, or rice noodles
Protein: shrimp, tofu nuggets, thinly sliced beef, or chicken
Veggies: broccoli, edamame, peppers, cabbage, corn, carrot, green onion
Sauces: soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, chilli garlic sauce or hot sauce
Toppings: crushed peanuts, fried onions, fresh herbs, sesame seeds

TACO OR BURRITO:
Grains: soft corn or flour tortillas, hard taco shells (or even nacho chips!)
Protein: ground meat, beans, slow cooked pork, beef or chicken, grilled or baked chicken breast
Veggies: raw tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, cooked or raw peppers and onions
Toppings: sour cream, salsa, grated cheese, hot sauce

Does your family make meals like this? Do you find it to be more successful? Let me know in the comments
