(Mommy and baby party day)
This past week Alexander and I hosted our first party since he was born. He is now 4 moths old and I have learned a lot about healthy eating with babies especially since making meals one-handed is a skill I have not yet mastered. I learned that with a baby, the best meals are ones that are good at room temperature or cold, they can be eaten one-handed without the need to be cut, preferably no utensils at all.
My menu for this party was filled with healthy snacks for my new mommy friends. After having Alexander I notice I am hungry all the time and constantly looking for simple healthy snacks that I can grab easily or take on the go. These Coconut Almond Lime Bites are a perfect protein-packed healthy snack for anyone with a busy lifestyle.
