What are some good foods to have at my baby's first birthday party? Having subs, but what else?

Q. The theme is colorful and monkey! They'll be lots of toddlers and three year olds there as well. Thanks so much!

A. If you are looking for things the kids will like go with finger foods. Goldfish crackers, small sandwiches (like cut in quarters), cheese cubes, home made chicken nuggets, jello jigglers, . A not healthy but kids love it option are those cheesballs, like corn curls .

Rachel Ray has a book called YUM-O with recipes for kids you might be able to have some of those online.

Maybe have cupcakes instead of cake, they are always a hit with the little ones.

Juice Boxes or other kid friendly drink.

Coffee for adults :) Also good to go along with subs are raw veggies and dip. Also good for the adults are whole water chestnuts wrapped in bacon, coated in bbq sauce and baked in the oven, Yum!

Happy Birthday to your baby!!


What is your favorite recipe for a healthy Toddler Snack?
Q. We need more ideas. Our favorite to date is Sweet Potato Balls.

Mix Together:
insides of 2 sweet potatoes
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons milk

Form into balls and roll in
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 teas. fresh finely minced parsely

cook by baking on greased baking sheet in pre-heated oven for 10-15 mintes or until egg is throughly cooked.

Look forward to hearing news ideas. Thanks.

A. Mini pizzas are always fun, made with whole wheat or whole grain english muffins, pizza sauce, reduced-fat cheese, and topped with lots of yummy veggies!

Or, cut up veggies or fruits in fun shapes like stars or hearts, or use cookie cutters for sandwichs for a fun snack.

All finger food is good like gerber flavored puffs, any kind of cereal like cheerios or kix. I would go for cheerios, they now come in whole grain (:


Hope that helps!


Any website for healthy meals for a 1 year old?
Q. So far I cook healthy for all the family, adding a glug of extra virgin olive oil where suitable for baby's and daddy's portion (im trying to lose some weight)..but I'm running out of ideas and need some cute healthy toddler meal ideas..
what good websites do you know that have a large database of toddler recipes? THAAANKS!

A. When I cook for my family, I usually find recipes in magazines (I tear out the recipe and put in my recipe binder) or from Allrecipes.com. I usually have something in mind I'm looking for and search for it finding the one that has the most natural ingredients possible.

Go to Parents.com to find some family friendly recipes (these are healthy! for the most part) but they also have ideas that are fun and exciting. For instance, cutting up a waffle (placing it back together) and putting blueberries in the little squares to make a picture or letter.

Adding pumpkin to pancakes makes them orange plus nutritious

When I make my son a toasted cheese sandwich, I make a face in the top piece of bread. Thinks its funny!

Serve homemade soup, add a couple pieces of crackers in a smile.

Otherwise, I just place his food on one of his cute plastic plates.
