Trying New Foods

Over the past few weeks the toddlers have tried a few new foods. They love them all!

Black eyed peas are a new favorite veggie and I served frozen peas and carrots frozen! What a treat!

I also tried a new recipe for oatmeal. I'm always looking for items that are made of whole foods, I can make ahead of time, and that is easy for the toddlers to eat by themselves and this fits the bill:
