Another of my FAVE websites

This for all of the mommies with babies! I recently had a baby (he will be six month November 1st!!!! SAD!! :( ) and I really wanted to make his baby food for him. This website is WONDERFUL! It gives a guide in which it tells you which foods are most appropriate at each age/stage. I have a freezer full of baby food ready for our little man! One thing I realized is, it's SOOO EASY to do! I didn't realize that making baby food could be this easy or this much fun or else I would have done it with our first son!!! Enjoy!

Kraft http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/home.aspx

I LOVE the Kraft foods website. If you don't already have this link as one of your favorites, you absolutely need to! It has all kinds of recipes, budget ideas, menus, cooking videos and the list could go on and on. One of my favorite things on this website is the meal finder. You enter 3 ingredients that you have or would like to use and they find you a recipe using those ingredients! Genius right?!?! I know!!!! I also love their 1 bag, 5 dinners recipes. With this feature you are given a shopping list...enough to fill one bag but enough to create five dinners to use throughout the week. Here is an example:

New Bag - Healthy Living
Dinner Shopping List for 1 week
Spaghetti with Zesty Bolognese
Cheesy Chicken & Veggie MacEasy
Slow-Cooker Beef Stew
Skillet Chicken & Vegetables Parmesan
DIGIORNO - Pizza - Harvest Wheat Rising Crust Four Cheese

Anyway, check back for more recipes and some of my favorite websites! ~Charity
