Grilled Cheese Triangles
Yummy and quick finger food when you are on the go. My toddlers actually dance when I give them these little grilled cheese triangles. Yup, arms go up, shoulders start shaking, and huge smiles.
Spinach and Chicken Curry (AKA Saag Chicken)
Protein and iron packed chicken and spinach meal that your toddler and other members of your family will love!

Peach Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
Delicious fruit filled smoothie packed with protein and vitamin C. My toddler kids love to have this as a snack after their midday nap. Could also be fed to babies over 9 months as long as the fruit is steamed/baked before placing into a blender, and you replace the milk with breastmilk or formula.

Curried Pumpkin Risotto
I am a pumpkin fanatic. I love any recipe that includes it, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin enchiladas, pumpkin pie, you name it. So when I first started making risotto for the kids, I naturally thought I have to make them a pumpkin version. I scoured the web for a recipe, but all of them included either too many ingredients, or fresh chopped pumpkin--which can take too much time for a busy mom's schedule. So this recipe is a simplified and kid-friendly version of pumpkin risotto.

Quick and Healthy Khichdi (Indian Rice and Lentil Porridge)
Babies of Indian descent, who are ready for stage 3 foods, are often given khichdi because its loaded with protein form the lentils, its soft, easy to chew, and simple to make. Khichdi is an Indian staple and you can cook it with as little as 3 ingredients or as much as 20 ingredients. In my experience, the more ingredients means the longer time spent cooking the dish. And with twins, I have had to learn to be efficient and cut corners when possible. This recipe is a favorite of my cuties and is limited to a just a few ingredients.

Gluten Free Pasta
When I found out my daughter had a wheat allergy, I went on a mission to come up with recipes so she would never feel like she is missing anything. I discovered, to my delight, that gluten free pasta tastes great, and its been an easy switch for our whole family.

Spinach Risotto
Creamy risotto your child can't resist! My daughter actually gets inpatient when I don't feed this to her fast enough. Hopefully your kids have the same reaction:)

Mini Quinoa Patties
This finger food has been a game changer in my household. I was looking for something nutritious and substantial that my picky twin toddlers would actually eat! I felt like I was only giving them cheese cubes and chopped fruit. But as soon as they took a bite of this soft, cheesy treat that breaks apart in your mouth (great for toddlers who still only have a couple teeth), I only saw small smiles and giggles as they got devoured. This is so good that even my husband and I couldn't stop eating them!
