  • That little tongue sticking out 😍😍 I think that some of the little gestures that make our little ones so special will stay even when they will grow up. I totally imagine him working on a project with his tongue lightly sticking out, concentrated, in his 30s, 40s and older. Today was a relaxed family Saturday and Amazon boxes are always a life saver 🤣🤣🤣 Have a wonderful weekend with your family! 😘😍 #momlife #familytime #familytimeisthebesttime
  • Ciambella, one of our favorite cakes. I simply love how the house smells when I bake it. They really should create a "ciambella" candle scent :-) Of course I couldn't omit it from The Fuss-Free Toddler Cookbook (you can preorder here https://amzn.to/36POVZk or check in my bio). This cake has all the qualities to please toddlers and the whole family. Check out how I prepared it today before the kids came back from school. 👌🏼What's your little one's favorite cake?
  • Another snack style lunchbox: homemade hummus + pretzels crackers + baby carrots + oranges + pistachios + chocolate chips cookie. I noticed that kids particularly like lunchboxes that require a sort of action like the carrot that can be dipped in the hummus 😉 #schoollunch #lunchbox #lunchboxideas #healthylunchbox #kidslunchbox #kidsfood #toddlerlunchbox #toddlerfood
  • Snack style lunchbox today: roasted chickpeas + Asiago cheese sticks + Pomelos grapefruit + steamed broccoli + raw fennel + blueberries. Yep, I peeled the grapefruit to leave only the pulp. Big one has an expander in his mouth and the citrus skin is tricky for him. Mama Bear peeled the skin out 😄🤦🏼‍♀️😜 #schoollunch #lunchbox #kidslunchbox #toddlerlunchbox #lunchboxforkids #healthylunchbox #lunchboxideas
  • The fried rice from last night was a big success with the kids, definitely to keep in mind 😉 Also using the veggie mix already chopped saved me a good 20min. Love shortcuts when needed 🤣🤣 #lunchbox #schoollunch #lunchboxideas #kidslunchbox #toddlerlunchbox #healthylunchbox #easylunchbox
  • It's here!!! Did you hear? Eeeeee, I wrote a book! It's a dream come true. The first copy just arrived and I let the kids open it (check out my stories 😉) I wrote it but reality is that they inspired every single recipe. 😁 "The Fuss-Free Toddler Cookbook" is due to hit shelves next month, February 11th, BUT you can pre-order it NOW to get it first: https://amzn.to/36POVZk I am SO excited about the book because I will be sharing my favorite and trusted family recipes that can be easily adapted to a toddler palate, picky eater included! LOL, I'm an expert thanks to my picky eater #1, my Luca. In my years of baby and toddler food blogging picky eating is definitely in the top three topics of questions and comments all together with first foods and allergies. Food is an essential element for a proper and healthy growth and when your little one has a selective food attitude, well, the situation can easily get stressful for everyone. I've been there too. When writing the book my goal was to share not only my favorite recipes but also a positive and optimistic attitude toward family meal-times. I will be sharing all the picky eating tips and suggestions that I used with my two boys and that came from the wonderful BuonaPappa community through the years. In the book you will find: - more than 80 new and super tested toddler friendly recipes that the whole family can enjoy. - "Toddlerizing" Tips with Every Recipe - Breakfast, Hand-helds for little hands, Vegetables, Chicken, Fish, Beef, Sauces and Dips..everything has been covered 😉 Feeling so grateful for all your support and love!! 😍🙏🏼😍 B #bookrelease #buonapappacookbook #cookingfortoddlers #toddlerfood #toddlerrecipes #toddlereating #kidsfood #kidsrecipes
  • Homemade chicken broth. Nourishing and with an unbeatable flavor. I can start listing the health properties of chicken broth and how it really helps the healing process when you have a cold or are under the weather, but today I would like to concentrate on the unique comforting flavor of a homemade chicken broth. When you take a sip you taste a deep flavor, intense, almost creamy. The vegetables, herbs and spices infused in the water help creating it. I like to prepare big batches of broth and freeze them, ready to be used. At the same time preparing chicken broth is very simple and cooks in 1hr. That’s my easy way recipe: in a big pot add 4/5 chicken wings and 4/5 things. Also add a big white onion in pieces, 4 cloves of garlic peeled, 2 small carrots peeled and in pieces, 2 celery sticks in pieces, 4 bay leaves, 2tsp sea salt (skip the salt for babies). Fill 3/4 with water. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 1 hour. Drain the broth in a colander with a bowl/pot under. Your chicken broth is ready!! Discard the bay leaves. I let the chicken pieces cool down and than I remove the meat, chop it in pieces. I do the same with the vegetables. When I prepare a soup I use part of the broth and I add back some chicken/vegetables and also add some noodles. I also use the chicken/vegetables for a chicken salad simply adding some mayonnaise and chopped fresh tomatoes. What’s your favorite chicken broth recipe? #chickenbroth #homemadechickensoup #kidsfood #toddlerfood #healthyfood #familyrecipe #familymeal #kidsmeal #toddlermeals
  • We are baaaaackkk!! First 2020 day of school for the kids and first lunchbox of the year! And I even have a #lunchbox New Years resolution 🤣 = smaller sizes. I realized that the kids many days come home with only half of the lunchbox eaten. It’s true that they finish it at home but I decided to reduce the portions and give them a fresh #afterschoolsnack once home. Let’s see how it goes 😉 What’s your lunchbox New Years resolution? #schoollunch #kidslunchbox #toddlerlunchbox #healthylunchbox #lunchboxideas #lunchboxforkids
  • NEW VIDEO ON YT! Beet Apple Banana Chia Puree +6M Such a lovely combination full of flavor. Beet is definitely the key ingredient of this recipe broth for his intense color and flavor.

  • Happy Saturday everyone!!! One suggestion when dealing with picky eating is to distract your little one from the food and create a fun experience around it. It took me 2 min to create this totally not perfect but fun birds on an island “piece of art” 🤣🤣 Almond pancakes, blueberries, banana and mango. When serving the plate to the kids I asked: why do you think the two birds ended on an island? What do you think will happen next? And while they were eating breakfast the story went on and on. My older one didn’t eat all the blueberries (with the expander he complains they get stuck) but it was a fun breakfast and they ate a lot. Pending how old is your little one you can create the story or you can create it together. In this way the focus is not on the food but on the experience together, a family meal. This is one of the concepts that drove my book: a stress free approach to feeding kids. It really helped me and I hope it will be useful to other parents 🤗 Btw, do you know that “The Fuss-Free Todder Cookbook” is in preorder now on Amazon? Check it out 😉 There is a link in my bio too! https://amzn.to/36POVZk #kidsfood #toddlerfood #babyledweaning #feedinglittles #feedingkids #feedingtoddlers #bookrelease #buonapappacookbook #organicfood #kidsbreakfast #toddlerbreakfast #breakfast
