Introducing our son to eating dinner with us every night and how I plate his food when he’s eating the same meal as us but make it baby-friendly!

Why does no one talk about how hard the weaning process is mentally 😞

Last week during naptime on Sunday I napped 💤 this week, I prepped some breakfast options for G - this seems to be my hardest meal to plan ahead for some reason so I tried to be prepared this week with a few new options!

Cottage cheese egg 🍳 strips
Greek yogurt blueberry 🫐 muffins
cinnamon muffins
Fruit 🍓 🥝 washed and ready to-go!

We love to do a mix of fresh, whole foods in our house with convenience items mixed in - I’ve recently shared some of my favs in that category too! What are you feeding your kiddo this week?

I don’t show a lot of G’s whole food options because I’m usually prepping them fresh, in the moment, my goal with his weekly eating videos is to display that you can utilize convenience options as a busy mom and they can provide your child with valuable nutrition, the goal is always “what whole food does my child like and I can add to their plate?” - as a society we hyperfixate WAY too much on what we “shouldn’t” be eating rather than how we can add to our meals and snacks to provide valuable nutrition to both ourselves and our littles!

A reminder that “processed foods” can be a nutritious part of kids diets! I love to cook a lot of G’s food at home but it’s also nice to have some convenient options if needed! I also have plain ground beef 🥩 prepped for him for an easy iron source, eggs 🍳, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, whole milk, tons of fruit 🍓 🍌 (pictured) it’s all about balance, even for the babies 😊

Frozen easy items: Dr. Praeger's pizzas 🍕 and taco 🌮 stars - I pair with pizza stars with blackberries and green beans, then the taco stars with corn 🌽 and “baby guac” so avocado 🥑 mixed with garlic powder and lime juice! Kidfresh chicken meatballs - I paired these with ditalini pasta 🍝 butter 🧈 and strawberries

Convenient color: Noka superfood smoothies 🫐 and GoGo squeeZ applesauce 🍎 canned green beans + canned corn 🌽

Grab and go snacks: YUMI bars broken up, Once Upon a Farm yogurt melts, and Mission MightyMe peanut butter puffs, also have Cheerios!

Easy lunch or dinner: GOODLES made with whole milk and cottage cheese! I’ll pair this with ground beef 🥩 or chicken meatballs and a veg!

Fresh fruit: kiwi 🥝 blackberries, strawberries 🍓 avocados 🥑 bananas 🍌

How I fuel before, during, and after a run 🏃‍♀️ as a dietitian and breastfeeding mom training for a half marathon!

60-90 minutes before: goal is to get in some good carbohydrates for energy + a little protein to help sustain the energy and slow down the digestion of the carbs. I try to minimize fat + fiber to avoid any tummy troubles 💩 iykyk

During my warm-up: a handful of YumEarth sour littles 🍭 and GoGo squeeZ applesauce 🍎- my goal is to get in super easily digestible carbohydrates for quick energy - when I do my long runs I bring the sour littles for intra run!

Post run: a Ka’Chava protein smoothie (not sponsored but I do have a code for 15% off: TAYLOR15) with almond milk, 2 scoops of Ka’Chava coffee ☕️ flavor, peanut 🥜 butter, banana 🍌 and cinnamon - goal is to get in some carbs to refuel glycogen stores - this is what carbs are stored as in your muscle tissue and when you run it’s converted to energy to help you move! Plus, protein for muscle 💪🏼 repair and recovery ❤️‍🩹

Fuel first, coffee second ☕️

As a breastfeeding mom, one habit that’s made a huge difference for my energy, mood, and blood sugar is prioritizing protein before coffee. Before I even think about my latte, I grab something nourishing to support my milk supply and avoid that mid-morning crash.
Lately, that’s been the Kate Farms High Protein Nutrition Shake — an easy, grab-and-go way to get high-quality protein plus key nutrients that actually support postpartum recovery. And yes… it tastes good, which matters when you’re half awake.

The shake gets me started strong, and after coffee I’ll usually add a simple follow-up snack like cottage cheese with berries or a hard-boiled egg with apples and nut butter.

Fuel first. Coffee second. Total game changer.

I’m finally understanding why people do this again, because for awhile I was like why would anyone ever do this multiple times and now I’m like I want 4 of them 🤪
