Dr Sears nibble tray

 Now I don't think I've mentioned this in my other blog posts yet, but my oldest, Nic, was born a micropreemie. He was born at 28 weeks weighing 3lbs 4oz. He has done really well and exceeded all expectations, but we have had a lot of trouble putting weight on him. Nic is still on the small side. I have looked everywhere for help to get him caught up. During my research I found the Dr Sears nibble tray made by Zak! What a helper! The tray is in the fun shape of a pineapple. It has six compartments to put food in and three extra stay cold in the top. I can fill this super cute tray up with all kinds of healthy foods in the morning and it's ready to go for snacking. It gives me piece of mind knowing if he eats most of the tray and his three regular meals we are on track. It's works so well with Nic that I recently bought one for Matt. The boys love the freedom of choice and since it's reserved for healthy foods only I know what they are eating is good for them.

Here's a few things the boys enjoy in their nibble tray:
olives, pasta wheels, tofu, cucumbers, carrots (cooked for Matts), avocado  strawberries, blueberries, raspberries  Cheerios, cheese, broccoli, trail mix

Here's a few ideas for the stay cool side for dipping:
pureed pumpkin, hummus, cream cheese, yogurt, peanut butter, and Nutella

These are my suggestions feel free to add your own. And if you are interested here's the link to buy: Dr-Sears-Nibble

I think it's a hit!

Our adventure begins at the farmers market

Hello and welcome to my blog page. I'm Bumble Betty. I figured a good place to start both as on my blogging adventure and eating healthy adventure is at the local farmers' market. Yummy!

                                                       

So Thursday I packed up both boys, wrapped up the Moby and we headed out the door. I don't know about anyone else but I've always found the farmers' market to be a bit intimidating, but I am determined to start feeding this family better food. Let me tell you I had a blast! I talked with all the farmers about where they are located and what they use for pesticides (or don't use). One farmer even had fresh free range eggs.

Here's my haul

                                      

I ended up only spending $20. That night we had a delicious garden salad. The boys have been enjoying the strawberries as an afternoon snack.  An added bonus I picked up a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I can't wait to go back next week.
