Fresh Baby Review and Giveaway!

"Reminiscent of the movie, “Baby Boom”, starring Diane Keaton, Fresh Baby is the inspiration of two sisters, Joan Ahlers and Cheryl Tallman, who live in rural parts of The United States, thousands of miles apart. In raising their children, they could not identify all-natural alternatives for healthy and hassle-free feeding. Drawing upon their own concerns as parents, the two women began developing products for today's busy parents and caregivers with a product line that includes: homemade baby food kits, baby food cookbooks, baby food and breast milk storage trays, breastfeeding reminders, and child development diaries. Since its inception in October 2002, Fresh Baby has leveraged the ever-increasing consumer interest in natural living and healthy eating to curb the childhood obesity epidemic plaguing the nation. Through the development of products that encourage breastfeeding and developing children's healthy eating habits, Fresh Baby is helping parents proactively respond to this healthcare crisis."

Last year, I was lucky enough to win the Baby Food Kit from Fresh Baby. It came at the perfect time. It was Summer (think farmer's market) and Lovebug was just beginning to try food! The Baby Food Kit made everything so easy. It lists each fruit/vegetable, how to cook it, and ways to combine it with other fruits and veggies that your child may like.

The storage trays were great! They're similar to ice cube trays with lids. They hold the perfect serving, so that when you're ready to feed your child, you can pop out one or two cubes and voila! It was easy to throw in the microwave, or put in a container and pop into the diaper bag. By the time lunch (or dinner) came around, Lovebug's meal was defrosted and ready!

So, when Fresh Baby said they were sending their Toddler Cookbook, I was very excited! Somehow, I ended up with a very picky toddler. I felt like we were giving her the same things over and over. No variety in her meals. Which, in my mind, was just making her pickiness worse.

The Fresh Baby Toddler Cookbook is 48 pages, that include 35 easy to make recipes! My worry is that they would be crazy recipes with items that aren't usually found in our house. Everything was very easy, with normal and easy to find ingredients! The book starts off with some great tips and information about creating healthy eating habits for your toddler. Also, there are Dos and Don'ts to avoid a food battle as well as a guide to make the most of your child's day!

We're slowly making our way through the Toddler Cookbook. So far, Lovebug has been open to most of the recipes! Like I said, they're easy enough that I don't feel like a short order cook. Most can even be doubled so that our entire family can enjoy them! For recipes like Mango Bagel, Sunshine Wrap, and so much more- Check out Fresh Baby's Toddler Cookbook!

Fresh Baby has generously offered to give one Moma Lovebug reader a So Easy Toddler Cookbook!
