I’m GF (but my family isn’t).</p> <p>We’re going to be moving into temporary housing bc we’re starting a home remodel and I need some more easy meals in my arsenal...I won’t have my big fridge or extra freezer and I’m nervous! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2833099 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 07:49:04 +0000 hilary 2833099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Aldi for us too!</p> <p>On Thursday evening after kids are in bed and before TV is on, we pick meals for the following week. (I work from home on Fridays so DH goes to the grocery with 1 kid for some 1:1 time.) I do a 5 minute scan of pantry/fridge/freezer and we start with picking protein for each night and then add in sides. DH will default to 5 set meals so then I drop a couple and pick out something I've seen/pinned/eaten out. We buy seasonal fruit and veggies so that allows the variability throughout the seasons in side dishes. We also typically do a protein, green salad, and either hot veggie or slaw. Butter/parm noodles for the kids as a side at least 2 days a week. This probably takes us 15 minutes tops.</p> <p>DH is home during the day so generally cooks on weekdays. However, having the list allows me to pitch in when I get home if the kids are happily playing or prep something the night before during dinner clean up.</p> <p>Finally, when I cook meat that reheats well (shredded pork, shredded chicken, ground beef, sausages) I tend to do really large amounts and freeze in dinner portion sizes, so at least once a week I can defrost, heat up and add whatever flavoring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832781 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 10:10:06 +0000 Chuckles 2832781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to add a few ideas to this post. </p> <p>- I keep a list of pantry staples and do a bigger shop once a month to stock up on things like flour, sugar, soy sauce, pasta, cereal, peanut butter, etc. Anything that can last for at least a month that we use all the time. I do a quick run through of the kitchen/pantry and find whatever we might run out of within the month. That way my weekly grocery shopping is much quicker and easier - mostly perishables or stuff for specific recipes.</p> <p>- I keep a running list of meal ideas in the front of a binder for things that don't really require recipes - roasted salmon, baked pasta, etc. And another list of recipes that we've liked from cookbooks, including which book and page number. And then the rest of the binder is printouts from online or clippings from magazines.</p> <p>- We haven't done this consistently, but when we do, it's super helpful. I've done something easy like tortellini from the fridge on Thursdays and dinner out or take out on Fridays and then have groceries delivered on Friday night or Saturday morning. That way we're all set for the weekend. And I'm only planning meals for Saturday-Wednesday. It's way less daunting that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832449 Fri, 06 Jul 2018 07:55:06 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2832449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>- My daughter is two and just got diagnosed with Celiac, so we have gone mostly gluten free in our household.<br /> - I feel like I'm floundering in a lot of areas, but I do think we have figured out what works for our family for meals/food.<br /> - Things that are important to me/us – eating a wide variety of foods, limiting processed foods, understanding where our meat comes from, involving our kids in the cooking process so they understand the effort involved and what they are eating.<br /> - This can get expensive and take a lot of time, so to cut down on that we shop at Aldi first (best prices in our area) and get whatever they dodn’t have at Hy-Vee (more expensive, but usually has the more unique items). We get pantry staples and gluten free packaged things (pasta, crackers, etc) from Woodmans and do online ordering (I HATE going to this grocery superstore, but they have great variety and prices). The Woodmans is also farther away from our house, so it isn’t convenient to shop there regularly. We get our meat from a local butcher and try to buy in bulk for the whole month and keep it in a freezer.<br /> - We use an online meal planning service for dinners. I’ve tried several, I like the Fresh 20 the best. It provides a shopping list and 5 dinner recipes. We’ve used this for years and years. We prep all the food on the weekend or Monday nights. This meal plan lets us try a huge variety of meats, vegetables, grains, flavors, etc. and I’ve become a very confident cook. There is usually one seafood meal, one vegetarian meal, and 1-2 more meats that are used for the other three meals. Having someone else do the leg work of putting together unique, healthy, in-season meals plans was a game changer for us.<br /> - We will spend an hour or so every Sunday prepping the meals (mostly cutting vegetables/fruits and making sauces or marinades). On weekdays I get home at 4:30 on and DH works from home and is done with work around the same time. We spend about 20 mins prepping dinner together before one of us goes and picks DD up from daycare. The we spend another 10-15 minutes getting the rest of dinner together as a family. Our daughter stands in her learning tower and watches, pretends to help cook/stir things, or helps cut up vegetable scraps for compost. She has a play kitchen in our dining area and sometimes plays there instead. Two nights a week I take her to activities right after daycare (swimming class, music class) and DH just makes the whole meal himself. And we eat when we get home. We try to grill a lot in the summer, so we play outside while the food is cooking.<br /> - During the week DH eats cereal for breakfast every morning, DD has a small refillable squeeze container of yogurt on her way to daycare (they serve breakfast about an hour after she arrives). I eat breakfast at work (we have a nice big kitchen and plenty of storage) and have a piece of fruit and either a bagel with cream cheese or cereal.<br /> We generally eat leftovers for lunch. I always have PBJ on hand at my office if I forget leftovers or if we don’t have any. I’ll also eat out once a week or so for lunch.<br /> - On weekends, it’s anything goes. We eat out a lot and eat leftovers from the week. We have a lot of go-to recipes, I experiment with stuff I see on blogs, in the summer we grill out with neighbors often, in the winter, I will spend a weekend making freezer meals.<br /> - This was a novel. Thanks if you made it to the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832421 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 18:11:41 +0000 looch 2832421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I like to eat nicely prepared foods. We grew up eating all of our meals at home as children, experienced restaurants in our single 20s and now, consume a mix of home prepared and purchased meals. My husband eats everything, but he will not eat leftovers if he can help it, and he considers anything that is cooked and defrosted as leftovers. That makes making items ahead very difficult. Our son is a problem eater with a diagnosed medical condition, so I feel like I have zero valid advice on what children will eat because my son was just so opposite of all the standard information out there (if anyone wants more info on this journey, just ask though!). </p> <p>As a result, I rely on things that I can prep/assemble in advance and then cook the day of. We don't really eat that much red meat, we prefer to have a single piece of filet mignon over bowls of chili for the next 3 nights, so I find that things like pork tenderloin, shrimp or salmon filet suit use better for mains (again, if anyone wants any methods please ask, I don't really use recipes unless I am baking). I love vegetables and often seek out things like kohlrabi and romanesco just to add some variety.</p> <p>The biggest challenge I have is lunch for my son. I am working up to having him buy lunch at school a few times a week next year. That would save me so much aggravation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832413 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 16:45:28 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2832413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: I rotate tested winner dinners by protein and carb, since obviously I don't want to eat chicken with pasta several nights in a row and I interject new things as needed, particularly when I feel like I've been eating the same things for weeks. I also divide things up seasonally so fish tacos feel more summery then chicken pot pie, this helps with rotation as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832412 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 16:10:04 +0000 lindseykaye 2832412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I truly enjoy meal planning, shopping, and cooking/prepping. In the past several years I feel like I've gotten a great flow for myself and my family. Now, my kid is super picky and we placate with 'separate' dinners for her almost every evening, but for DH and I I've got a do-able system that is both affordable and not terribly time-consuming considering I WOH. Also the meals we make/love would easily translate to kid friendly food (if only our kid would eat them).</p> <p>Some basics:<br /> 1) I plan meals for the week based on what is in the pantry/freezer first, then fill in my list with additional or fresh items we need. Going along with #2 this means that often I'm buying about half food for now and half food for later during the weekly grocery shopping.<br /> 2) I shop the sales at our store and plan my list around that. If something is heavily discounted I buy it and stash it in the pantry/freezer for whenever we want to enjoy it. This means there's rarely the excuse available that there's "nothing for dinner".<br /> 3) I try to plan for leftovers for lunches and also plan repeatable ingredients. I'll make chickpea curry with peas (1/2 a package) and then later in the week make fish and chips with peas (other 1/2 of the pack). Or I will saute a whole large package of mushrooms and use half to top homemade pizza one night and save the rest to have with frozen pierogies and sauteed onions later in the week. This especially goes for fresh ingredients so we're not wasting anything.<br /> 4) Batch cooking and freezing is essential for my sanity. If I'm going to go through the effort to make something that can be scaled up and frozen, you bet I will. Chili, homemade soups, and ingredients like shredded taco seasoned chicken are all candidates for this treatment. Liquids get portioned into freezer ziplocs and frozen flat, then stacked.<br /> 5) I cook and prep if possible on Sunday (or whatever day works for you). I shop on Saturday morning or my husband does it for us during the week, then Sunday's I try to pre-make a few things that might take a while so that I'm not in the kitchen as long on weeknights. It's not an all-day affair and splitting up shopping and cooking means I don't feel like so much of a weekend on it all.<br /> 6) Variety is nice for us so I try to plan one of each for the week: Salad (tons of variety possible here), tex-mex (tacos, enchiladas, nachos), Asian/stir fry/curry, sandwich (burger or pita or Philly or something in a bun), Italian (spaghetti, ravioli, baked pasta, etc), Homestyle (meatloaf, shrimp and grits, roast salmon and veg, steak and potatoes, etc), often soup in the winter, sometimes weekly homemade pizza, and lots of breakfast for dinner. Plus eating out here and there, or a wildcard craving can all be fit into this. It gives me some guidance without having set nights of the week for certain foods.</p> <p>So yeah - that's how I think about meal planning, shopping, and prepping food. Hopefully some of it can help or give someone a new idea that might make the whole process easier for themselves or their family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832406 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 15:46:37 +0000 erinbaderin 2832406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I both work full time outside the home, although at the moment I’m on language training and usually get off pretty early. I do all the cooking, the grocery shopping, and basically all the meal planning. There was a phase where my husband was coming up with and cooking one dinner a week, but then I got tired of nagging him to tell me what he wanted to make so I could do the shopping, I stopped asking, and it kind of fell off. Sometimes I get frustrated by it but on the other hand, I do like to cook. I also get home at 5 and he doesn’t get home until 5:45, and we try to have dinner on the table at 6, so it’s easier for it to be my job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832403 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 15:24:01 +0000 JennyPenny 2832403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be interested in hearing more about how people organize their recipes and plan a rotation. I have thousands of recipes on Pinterest that I'd love to try, and a bunch that I have marked as "winners" I feel like at some point I should stop trying new things all the time and mostly rotate my winners but I don't have a great way of doing that yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832394 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 12:56:00 +0000 Becky 2832394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are really lucky in that my mom makes dinner twice a week and we often get leftovers for a third night from that. My parents are out of town right now so I’ve gotten to experience not having them here for weeknight dinners. Again I’m fortunate because I only live 3 minutesfrom<br /> where I work, so I went home and made dinner, out it on the table, and went and got the kids from daycare at about 5:45. Also in the summer I sometimes do picnic dinners at the park on Monday evenings. I’ll do turkey sandwiches and a fruit and veg. Low stress, low mess. I avoid prepping food when the kids are home on a weeknight at all costs. Sometimes in the nice weather it’s ok because they can play outside but in the winter they’re awful and wanting snacks. </p> <p>DH doesn’t usually make dinner. He isn’t home most nights for dinner,, and I’m pretty particular about what we serve. </p> <p>My dinners on rotation:<br /> Bean burritos: beans, cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, tomato, and roasted peppers if I have time. </p> <p>Pizza (store bought crust), a veg, a fruit </p> <p>Tuna sandwich, veg, fruit (not often as my mom does this one too)</p> <p>Salmon, rice, veg, fruit (made on Sunday, so leftovers for Monday and lunch)</p> <p>Marinated chicken, rice, veg, fruit</p> <p>Bean burritos, roasted potatoes, veg, fruit (newly added)</p> <p>In the winter and fall I make chili or soup weekly and we have leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832387 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 12:32:02 +0000 Sams Mom 2832387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work a normal M-F 8-5 schedule, and my husband does shift work on a waterfall schedule (currently he's 9P-7A). I do the grocery shopping, all the cooking, and dishes. He does basically all of the laundry, except for our son's because the nanny does that. I mow, weedeat, water the yard and do small repairs around the house. He pressure washes and cleans the gutters and mows, sprays for weeds &amp; weedeats on his days off. Nanny is at our house 3-4 days a week. and our son goes to her house 1-2 days a week (lives close to my office) so she can get some stuff done around her house too; so I do pickup &amp; dropoffs on the 1-2 days a week he's with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832379 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 12:01:54 +0000 hellobeeboston 2832379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both work out of the home full time with hour+ commutes on either end, so dinner is typically a scramble. </p> <p>I tend to do all of the shopping on the weekend for the week. I would love to meal plan, but I cannot find the time, especially in the summer. We have our favorite go-to meals that our quick that we keep in a rotation during the week.</p> <p>I typically do all of the cooking most nights, but at least one night, sometimes two, I am out of the house working out, do my husband does the cooking those nights. Again, it's easy stuff that is quick and everyone likes! Tacos, spaghetti &amp; meatballs, shepherds pie, hamburgers/hot dogs or steak tips on the grill, tofu or chicken stir fry, etc etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832375 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 11:56:48 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2832375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally we fall into the traditional male-female divide as well. I truly like cooking although some days its harder then others to come up with what to cook. If I can figure it out during work or my drive home we are good to go but if I'm at home without an idea it can be super late before dinner gets on the table. I am trying super hard to do family dinners even if E doesn't eat what we eat just yet but its challenging in the summer since my husband doesn't get home until 6:30-7 and E goes to bed around 7-7:15. We are each on our own for breakfast and lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832371 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 11:42:02 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2832371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both work full time outside the home. I have a normal 8-5, however, my DH is a shift worker. </p> <p>DH is our normal cook, including deciding upon dinner, shopping, and cooking. I do dishes. </p> <p>When he was on the 6am to 4pm shift, we left at the same time and I went to get the kids from daycare and he went home to cook dinner (we walk opposite directions from the train station and it took about 30 minutes for me to get the kids and get home). </p> <p>Currently he is working noon to 10pm, Sunday-Wednesday. I do dinner on those nights, and he does dinner on the other nights. I do involve myself in meal planning as I will be cooking. I sometimes shop, but usually it's small items at the walkable store.</p> <p>I think the plan when he shifts to 9pm to 7am, he will go back to doing all of the dinner ideas again. </p> <p>Currently, DH does breakfast and drop off. When I do drop off, breakfast is packed and given at daycare. Lunch is given at daycare. I pack lunches all week, but that's because I don't think DH does a great job. I use leftovers and usually give veggies, while he doesn't. </p> <p>Lunch for DH and myself is usually leftovers, though we do occasionally buy food to cook at work in the microwave. We have a small cafeteria on site, however, it's expensive and the only thing close by. DH can't leave for more than short breaks as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832353 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 11:18:18 +0000 Mrs. Peas 2832353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also we had a great comment on our first post asking about how other parents share meal and food duties between them. Who comes up with meal ideas? Who shops? And who cooks dinner? I'd love to hear how your families divide things up, but as for mine:</p> <p>Both my husband and I work full time outside the home (although my husband does work from home frequently and also travels frequently). My husband is always willing to help and we definitely do not have a traditional husband-wife divide in our home, BUT I do handle most of the meal and food duties. I am more comfortable in the kitchen and enjoy it more (in theory, when work &amp; kids don't get in the way, which unfortunately happens more often than not). I handle almost all dinner planning and execution - including planning, shopping, and actual preparation. My husband does usually handle breakfast. We don't stay at home and none of our kids need a packed lunch yet so we tag team lunch and snacks on the weekends (or sadly just eat out). I do feel like the emotional labor of meal prep falls too often on me, so to help that we're trying to build up a "bank" of meal ideas that both of us know how to prepare. I'll share our list in a future post if that would be helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832344 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 10:53:56 +0000 Mrs. Peas 2832344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nutmeg36: I will definitely work on a post about this topic. My 3rd baby just turned 1 on Saturday (and my 1st one just turned 5 yesterday), so I have a lot of recent experience with these transitions. Thanks for the great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832343 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 10:53:05 +0000 Mrs. Peas 2832343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Thank you! Can't wait to hear your ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832335 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 10:00:17 +0000 Becky 2832335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nutmeg36: I used puffs mostly as a diversion. I would try to steer away from using them as a snack (also you can definitely switch to Cheerios: less expensive and more nutritious). At 13 months she’s old enough that she could be eating a more substantial snack like maybe cheese, yogurt with blueberries, or a whole grain waffle with peanut butter. If she’s wanting to eat all day I’d make sure she’s getting enough filling whole grains and proteins at meals. She can eat almost all the same things as you at this point (of course not hard carrots or other hard chokesbles) so you might just think about it as giving her the same food as you, but in smaller portions. If she wants more at a meal, offer more. </p> <p>All kids are different too. I’ve posted before that we tried baby led weaning with DD1 and then stopped until she was 8 months old, and with DD2 we didn’t try but then at 6.5-7 months old discovered that’s all she wanted. </p> <p>Also for those people with 2 meals on rotation, I’m all about that! We basically eat the same few meals every week and it changes by season. I have no shame about not trying a ton of new things when my cognitive load is already high between work, housework, and other childcare. I focus on healthy meals my kids like and go with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832333 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 09:41:57 +0000 jennlin821 2832333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nutmeg36: I'm so glad this helped! </p> <p>As for the actual feedings, we followed some version of this schedule when she did two naps:<br /> 7am wake up<br /> eat (breakfast): Banana, scrambled eggs, bread. Water in sippy cup<br /> play<br /> 9:30get ready for nap<br /> bottle/breastfeeding<br /> 10am nap<br /> 12pm wake up<br /> eat (lunch)<br /> puffs, white beans w/ pesto, boiled carrots, mango. Water in sippy cut<br /> play<br /> 2 pm get ready for nap<br /> bottle/breastfeeding<br /> nap<br /> 3:30-4pm wake up<br /> snack: bambas (cut into puff size when she was first eating them), avocado Water in sippy cup<br /> play<br /> 5:30-6 Dinner - usually some version of what we were having, we eat a lot of soups, so mushy veggies, pasta, etc. Water in sippy cup<br /> play<br /> 6:30 get ready for bed, bottle/breastfeeding<br /> 7pm bedtime.</p> <p>Because we would eat solids when she woke up and had a bottle before nap, she wasn't hungry in between. Now that DD has consolidated her nap and dropped her before bed bottles, we have to be more aware of giving snacks if needed, especially in the afternoon. And this schedule was a bit different than what she did at daycare, but we had no problems on the weekend. She always sits in her high chair for food, no matter what; we also didn't offer milk or water during play time (unless it was unusally heavy play) so that she wasn't filling up on liquids. </p> <p>Anyways, I hope that helps you out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832329 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 08:54:09 +0000 smuckers 2832329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennlin821: also i'm digging into this site now and holy hannah there goes my morning.

Thank you for this link! I feel EXACTLY the same way about choking, which is why BLW was out for me, too. My girl is 13 months now, so it's less about *how* to get her to eat solids and more "what the heck do I feed her and how much?". Basically step 5(ish) of the website. </p> <p>She would eat an entire container of puffs if we let her; is that because she's tummy hungry or mouth hungry? Is there a difference for her? She doesn't have tons of room to play in terms of weight percentiles (she's a peanut), plus she's walking (everywhere), PLUS there's a plateau in terms of growth at 1 year, so I'm concerned that she's not getting enough calories now that we're transitioning away from formula. We let her decide when she's no longer interested in eating, but it seems like she's ALWAYS interested in eating unless she's recently had a bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832326 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 08:35:47 +0000 jennlin821 2832326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nutmeg36: I have a huge fear of choking so starting solids was scarier for me than child birth, and BLW was a huge no for me :grin: I found this website really helped me when we started the transition. We started with pureed baby food and baby oatmeal. Once DD got used to eating purees, we made the oatmeal thicker to slowly transition into 'chewing'. Then for actual 'solid' food we started with puffs, as the website recommends. </p> <p>Anyways, this website helped me and I hope it helps you. And I would also love someone to write a detailed post about making that change, because I searched high and low and this website was the only place that helped me!</p> <p><a href="https://yourkidstable.com/how-to-transition-your-baby-or-toddler/" rel="nofollow">https://yourkidstable.com/how-to-transition-your-baby-or-toddler/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-our-families-join-the-conversation#post-2832039 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 09:37:43 +0000 smuckers 2832039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would LOVE LOVE LOVE at least 1 post from someone who has recently done the transition with their little(s) from a primarily formula/BM diet to a primarily solids diet. What made it easier? How did you pick foods to give them? What are their favorites? High chair every time they eat? Do they just graze/snack all day? Did they lose weight? Did they still want the bottle? Did you do the formula to milk transition at the same time you did the bottle to sippy transition?

We'd love to continue the conversations on the boards. We want to hear your ideas! Hopefully at the end of this month we'll have collectively created a great resource for any busy mom that needs to figure out what in the world to feed her family (that they will actually eat &amp; may be quasi healthy too!) </p> <p>I will keep this post pinned at the top with links to all the posts in this series we publish this month. </p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/?p=178051&#038;preview=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/?p=178051&#038;preview=true</a> </p>
