The best holidays are the ones that are safe for all family and friends to enjoy, especially the little ones. Do you have food on the menu safe for babies to eat during this Thanksgiving season? If you are not sure what is safe for babies to eat for Thanksgiving, we are here to help you add some safe and great baby food to the Thanksgiving menu. Read below!
It is no secret, preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for the extended family is no easy task. This task gets harder when you have to think about what babies and little children can safely eat. A rule of thumb to remember when thinking of a safe menu for babies is that babies closing in on their first birthdays, transitioning to table foods, can be served at least a few typical Thanksgiving dishes.
Diced is a must.
When feeding babies, make sure all the foods you offer them are diced very small. The average diced food should be 1/4 inch in size.
Make sure everything is cooked well done.
When we say cook everything until it is well done for the babies, that means it should be soft enough for the babies to gum. Some great foods for babies to gobble on are as followed:
-Turkey
-Ham
-Mashed Potatoes
-Sweet Potatoes
-String Beans
-Peas
-Carrots
-Cranberry Sauce
-Bread
-Apple Pie
-Pumpkins
To learn what foods are choking hazards and more useful tips on cooking safe foods for babies during the holiday, read this article from Parenting.com.

Is going out for lunch at work becoming a burden on your wallet? If yes, we have for you 10 great workday brown bag lunch tips that can save you time, money and calories! And no, your lunches do not have to be disgusted or unhealthy to save you time, money and calories!
Most people think a $10 a day lunch routine is no big expense to grab at a restaurant. However, over the course of a month or a year, the routine can get pretty expensive! Meals packed at home are not only cost effective but, on average, are healthier than foods at restaurants. When you eat out, you are given large portions and fattening extras that you are less likely to eat at home. An example of such a meal would be a sandwich deal that comes with a large side of French fries. When you pack a lunch from home, you can control your portions and choose much healthier ingredients! You can also get creative with your lunch ideas! Here are just a few cheap and easy tips to prepare a healthy but tasty brown-bag lunch, daily.
- Make sure your lunch is balanced. To do this, include low-fat protein with carbohydrates in your meal. This will keep your body energized for the afternoon! You can combine protein with fibers such as nuts, beans, vegetables, fruits, or whole grains. This combination will keep you full until dinner time!
- Add lean fillings to your sandwiches. Examples of lean fillings can be sliced eggs, tuna fish, cheese and lean meats. Use whole grain breads, pitas, and wraps. Dress up your sandwich with assorted greens, fresh basil, sprouts, sliced cucumbers, onions and tomatoes.
- Eat anything you enjoy. You do not have to stick to the standard lunch of a sandwich and sides. You can pack last night’s dinner. Some good examples of great leftovers are black beans, brown rice, and salsa dinner casseroles. All you have to do is add shredded cheese on top and microwave your dish. You can pack a vegetarian wrap. You can pack cereal. It is up to you!
- Cook in bulk. If your work-week starts on Monday, Sunday you should make a big pot of chili, soup or rice and beans for the work-week. Freeze your meal into individual portions that you can have ready to take to work each day.
- Use Convenience foods. Convenience foods make for quick and easy lunches. Convenience foods are canned soups and frozen meals. They are inexpensive and quick to heat up! Eat convenience foods with a side of salad or a piece of fruit! This meal with sides will keep you feeling full!
- Create a planned menu of all the ingredients you will use for lunch meals a week. Here are a few ingredients that you can use to create $5 or less work-meals a day!
