AFFORDABLE & HEALTHY BABY/TODDLER FOOD HACK

This has been the best discovery as a mom who spends sooooo much money on fruit for my little fruit monster 😅

My mom friend and I split a whole bushel and are planning to have a little apple processing party and peel/cook a whole bunch of these and then leave some for snacking & baking!

Absolutely worth checking to see if anyone near you is doing this! 😊

As parents, finding affordable and healthy food options for our babies and toddlers can be challenging. Here's where the concept of bulk buying comes into play, particularly with apples during the fall season. Local farms often sell apples in bulk at discounted prices as apple picking season wraps up. By teaming up with friends, you can not only save money but also enjoy the fun of processing these apples together. In addition to simply snacking on fresh apples, there are a plethora of delicious recipes to explore. You can create homemade applesauce, which is a great puree for infants. Healthy apple crisp is another superb option, often using oats and spices for added flavor, all while maintaining nutritional value. Consider incorporating purees with vegetables or other fruits to enhance texture and taste. For older toddlers, dishes like apple and cinnamon oatmeal or apple oat muffins can provide wholesome breakfasts or snacks. Moreover, you can prepare turkey or chicken apple sausage, which can then be frozen for future meals. This versatility makes apples a staple to consider in your toddler's diet.
