Mrs of The Home Scrummy Chicken and Apple Balls for a picky toddler!

We live in a historical home that was built in 1917. The house holds a lot of history, which I will get into in another blog post, but because of that historical significance I have been really unsure of painting…

I love when the 4th of July rolls around. Its a time to relax with family and friends and enjoy a wonderful evening of good BBQ, drinks and fireworks. As one who never misses an occasion to celebrate and get…

China cabinets or china buffets are used by most people to elegantly display a china collection. For some people, however, buffets become a catch-all for all kinds of odds and ends, from that homemade mug your niece painted for you…

I chose something that looked pretty tasty and was relatively easy to knock up: chicken and apple balls. The recipe took about 10 minutes prep time and 25 minutes to cook

Needless to say, Ellie ate almost every last one – problem solved! My baby just likes a bit of a variety to her food, after all it is the spice of life!

What are some favorite toddler meals that you swear by? I would love to hear your inspirations!
