food/snacks for tots on the go? Ditch the tupperware

This past December we asked our twitter followers what were some of their New Year's resolutions. The most popular responses were of course loosing weight and getting in shape followed closely by having a greener life style.

So how about loosing weight and being green at the same time?
Avoid eating junk food. Pack your lunches and also your kids' foods and snacks for on the go.

If you want a cleaner, non-toxic alternative to tupperware and other leaching plastic containers, these supper cool 100% Stainless Steel tiffins from To-Go Ware are the best way to go. Who knew a tiffin could be so practical and eco-friendly :-)

I have seen many people in poor countries use metal tiffins to carry their food and always thought what an ingenious way to stack up food in different compartments and carry it all in one hand! So great to see an eco-friendly non-toxic version now available in the US.

The To-Go Ware tiffins are not just any tiffins :-)) these are nicely designed, small sized (perfect for little hands), and made from 100% Stainless Steel. They come in 2 and 3-tier versions and they are great for hot or cold foods. We have the 2-tier version with the side kick (great for yogurt sauce to drizzle over our to-go fruit salads). Picnic anyone?

If cared for properly, these multitasking/super safe food carriers can last forever. So you can pass them on to all your future generations. Try that with tupperware... eeewww!

Baby Finger Food Review: Happy Baby™ Organic Baby Foods

Our 2 and 3 year old food critics put Happy Baby™ Organic Foods to the test this past weekend.  These toddlers are picky eaters (as most toddlers are) and of course they love to snack on cookies and sweets, which doesn't make the parents happy. So, we went looking for a healthy and nutritious snack that would appeal to these toddlers' capricious palates. On the weekend we had them try the different Happy Baby™ organic food products and the Whole Grain Organic Puffs were the immediate favorites. The kiddies enjoyed holding the eco-friendly containers with their own hands and picking puffs with their little fingers. As parents we had peace of mind knowing that our kids were eating a naturally healthy organic snack that's been fortified with vitamins and minerals. These Happy Baby Organic Puffs are a keeper!

Delicious Organic Snacks for picky little eaters

I don't know any one year olds or two year olds who are not picky eaters. Maybe they exist in a far far away land. Who knows?

Here are two delicious and healthy treats that are never rejected by our kids: Organic Grapes and Organic Yogurt.

Grapes are an excellent snack and kids love their shape and love to pick them with their fingers to put in their mouths. Even though expensive, you should always try to buy organic grapes. If you find organic grapes on sale. Buy them!! Here's why: Grapes have been found to contain high amounts of pesticides. They are on the Dirty Dozen Foods list

"Imported grapes run a much greater risk of contamination than those grown domestically. Vineyards can be sprayed with different pesticides during different growth periods of the grape, and no amount of washing or peeling will eliminate contamination because of the grape's thin skin.
Can't find organic? Safer alternatives include blueberries, kiwi and raspberries."

Another all time favorite treat that everyone around here just loves is the Stony Field Whole Milk Yogurt. Perfect for breakfast, perfect for snacks, perfect for dessert! The cream on top is just too deliciously decadent! Definitely and adult and kid favorite. And on top of that Stonyfield is a very cool company. They have coupons that you can use to save money on their products
