My baby is just starting to chow down the solids, but we're already looking ahead to the toddler months and the best foods for when he's a bit older. One brand that we've always had a good experience with is Beech-Nut.
They just launched some new eats for toddlers called Homestyle Steamies. They are a delicious, all-in-one meal with varieties like Macaroni & Cheese, Cheesy Lasagna, and Chicken Vegetable Stars. They come in simple, resealable tubs that are microwavable AND BPA free (which is quite a relief, actually.) While I don't usually buy all of my baby food from the store (I make quite a bit of my own), it is nice to have some options in the cupboard for when we travel, or for when the meal I serve has too much sodium or is too spicy for me to feel comfortable feeding my toddlers. The Steamies from Beech-Nut happen to be made with natural ingredients and have no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives!
I thought that these meals were super convenient and great for packing into a diaper bag for Grandma's or even daycare (sometimes you just need to be sure that your child is eating well.) If you don't have time to prepare a homemade meal, this seems like the next best thing!
You can read about the entire line at the Beech-Nut site!

I give my great grandson dry cheerios to munch on when we are on the go
ReplyDeleteIt depends what meal we're missing at home. If it's just a little snack time, I give her the puffs/crunchies whatever you want to call them. Meal time is such a production, from premixing the oatmeal and measuring and putting it all in a mini cooler.

When my daughter was a toddler we always had boxes of raisins and peanut butter crackers for quick snacks while we were on the go.
ReplyDeleteWe usually have graham crackers or small containers of dry cereal with us for snacking.

ReplyDeletemy nephew likes gerber puffs. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteWe usually put a bunch of dry snacks into a ziplock container (animal crackers, goldfish, yogurt puffs, etc) or continue to use the jars of baby food that Jr. will still eat - he's grown sick of most of them.
