It's What's for Dinner

The newest product discovery is the Plum Spoon Boon. I found mine at Target, but I'm sure you can find them lots of other places.
This little screw on spoon is amazing! I've had problems getting little man to eat. He has to have the spoon or we go into melt down. The traditional spoon was great, but he wouldn't get half of the food in his mouth and I couldn't get him food fast enough. Most feeding ended in tears. I tried giving him a spoon for each hand and one to feed him with, but alas he's a smart one and would drop one or both to acquire the one with the food on it. Why do I like this little spoon? I get food to him at his rate so less fussing because I can't get him food fast enough. He can hold something and not make a HUGE mess. He grasps the end of the spoon or top of the pouch without disrupting meal time. The only negative I have for it is that I think it's made for an older kid. The spoon is deep for such a tiny mouth (he's 6 months) so he can't get all of the food out, but I can look over that. Feedings are cleaner, faster and happier for all. Will we need to change methods as he gets older, yes, but for  now this is one happy momma.

As for my mealtimes I got around to cooking something for dinner tonight. The farm share brought potatoes so I made a little breakfast hash this evening. Potatoes, chives, green onions, and left over breakfast sausage from the other day. Yummy! It required no salt or pepper as you get plenty of flavor from the green onions, chives and sausage.
