Homemade Applesauce Recipe (Toddler Chef-Friendly) 0
You can introduce your baby to apples as early as 4-6 months; and when it comes to baby food, there's no such thing as too much applesauce...ever. It's great on its own, but it's also super helpful as "mixer" when your baby is not too keen on eating another food on its own. #TGFA (Thank God for Apples!) During this period ("Stage One"), you're just steaming the apples and pureeing them to a smooth texture (I call this "smoothifying"). Around 9 months or so, you can start to "chunkify" your applesauce and add seasonings (keep it simple...- Riche Holmes Grant

Hot Caramel Apple Cider Recipe 0
I went to get coffee with one of new my mommy friends last week and as we were walking in, she said, "Wait, you don't drink coffee, do you?" I actually don't, but I was shocked that she could tell. Is it that obvious?! LOL. I do love "going for coffee" though and I absolutely love green and black teas, chai, white hot chocolate, and of course, hot apple cider. The key to this recipe is to use real apple cider (100% juice, the kind you find in the produce section) that you heat on the stove, not in the...- Riche Holmes Grant

One-Pot Pasta with Shrimp Recipe 1
Lately, I've been having a blast spending my mornings with Martha Stewart, so I thought it only fitting that I start making some of her dishes, you know, out of respect for our new relationship:-) I decided to start with her one-pot pasta (though Martha refers to it as "one-pan") which sounded a little too good to be true when I saw it, so I had to try it for myself. The good news is that it really is as easy as it sounds. Yes, really. Everything was ready in under 15 minutes. The even better news is that it tastes great...- Riche Holmes Grant

Bruschetta Pesto Pizza with Balsamic Chicken Recipe 0
It's National Pizza Month and we're kicking it off in the BambiniWare kitchen with this yummy creation inspired by toddler boss's love of anything that involves tomatoes. And despite my love for all things "toddler boss," I'm actually naming it the "Deb," after my mom, who hates tomatoes, but LOVES this pizza. Thanks again for giving it a try, mom:-) The first time I made it, I used store-bought pesto, but since toddler boss and I started growing basil in the bambini garden, I decided to make it from scratch this time. As you'll see, I kept...- Riche Holmes Grant
