Baby Foods You and Your Little One Will Love
When your baby gets the approval from your pediatrician to start solid foods, it can be exciting and nerve-wracking (and messy!). In this day and age, we’re fortunate to have ready-made baby food, especially when making your own baby food seems like a long shot and quite daunting. But with so many baby food products saturating today’s market, it’s certainly overwhelming deciding what to put into your little ones’ mouth and belly. Pouches, puffs, and more jam grocery store shelves, claiming different benefits.
Don’t worry though, we have you covered. We broke down some of our favorite baby food from infant cereal to fun snicky-snacks to help mitigate the immense array of choices and uncertainties you may have.
Baby Cereal
Getting ready to start your baby on solids? Babies as early as four months may be given the OK to start on easy-to-digest solids such as infant cereal. Many pediatricians (or grandmothers) will you tell you to start your baby on rice cereal. However, due to high levels of arsenic, other ground cereals or grains, such as quinoa or oatmeal, may be a safer place to start while your little one gets the hang of eating solids for the first time.
NurturMe Organic Quinoa Cereals, 6 packs for $29.94 on Amazon
Amazon
Quinoa isn’t just for adults anymore; it’s a wonderful infant cereal option and the products are fortified with iron, so your pediatrician will be pleased. These organic cereals are healthy and protein-packed, and come in flavors like Quinoa with Sweet Potato and Raisin, and Quinoa with Apple. Formulated without any added preservatives, salts, or sugars, they are made with plant-based foods and minerals, which make digestion easier for your little one.Buy Now
Gerber Organic Oatmeal, $3.38 at Walmart
Walmart
Everyone knows Gerber. It’s classic and timeless, and with a single-grain organic baby cereal, it’s nutritious and safe. Fortified with iron for brain development, with zero artificial flavors, this organic oatmeal is a great place to start when feeding your bub.Buy Now
Pureed Foods: Jars & Pouches
Earth’s Best Organic Jars, 12 for $8.33 at Walmart
Walmart
Earth’s Best organic jarred foods offer a variety of textures and ingredients. Single-fruit or vegetable options, such as peas, carrots, bananas, and prunes, are best suited for babies four months and older. Once your baby is six months or older, Earth’s Best offers mixed purees, like Apple, Turkey, Cranberry, and Rice and Lentil Dinner. At nine months, your baby can feast on elevated mixtures such as Spring Vegetable and Pasta. The jars can easily be recycled or reused after washing as handy small containers.Buy Now
365 Everyday Value, Organic Apple Sauce, Unsweetened, 6 pack for $2.69 on Amazon
Amazon
A very economical option is simply buying a large jar or pack of pureed food, like Whole Food’s 365 brand of organic and unsweetened applesauce. Keep in fridge and serve as needed. Babies will love the texture and wholesomeness of applesauce, which has no additional sweeteners. Plus…an apple a day keeps the doctor away!Buy Now

Not only is Jennifer Garner a talented actress, but she now makes baby food. Her yummy purees and smoothies can be found fresh in the refrigerator section of your grocery store, not on a shelf. The fruits and vegetables are cold-pressed and organic, and are added with yummy nutrient-rich foods such as avocado and quinoa.Buy Now

Besides fruit and vegetable purees, they now have new super oats and seed pouches, like Banana and Strawberry with Oats, Chia, and Quinoa.Buy Now

Babies can start to expand their food palates with these organic meals that offer a nice source of protein for your carnivore-exploring little one.Buy Now
Yogurts
Yogurt can be a great food for older babies, but it’s important to get the stamp of approval from your pediatrician as younger babies may not need dairy or may have a hard time processing the enzymes. When looking for yogurts both for babies and adults, it’s important to look for yogurts made with whole milk and very little sugar.
Stonyfield® Organic Yobaby® Whole Milk Yogurt, 6 pack for $3.92 at Walmart
Walmart
This organic, whole-milk yogurt is popular and is advertised as the number one pediatrician-recommended yogurt. The Banana and Mango packs are made without any added sweeteners, come from cows that are pasture-raised, and have probiotics that will support your baby’s sweet little gut.Buy Now

On-the-Go Snacks
Let’s be real; everyone loves to snack, especially babies. Having a few go-to snacks for on-the-go eating is always a good idea. It’s inevitable that whenever you get to the park, your little one will “need” a snack. Be prepared with a few of our favorites below.
Sprout Organic Quinoa Puffs, $2.99 on Amazon
Amazon
Baby puffs are all the rage these days. They easily dissolve in a baby’s mouth, and the size is perfect for your baby to work on that pincer grasp, which is essential to learning how to grab food and feed themselves. Have you ever looked at the ingredients in puff snacks? While many include vitamins such as B12, C, E, and choline, some have a tiny bit of added sugar (about 1 gram). Sprout Organic Quinoa Puffs include zero added sugar and only use organic rosemary extract as a preservative. While some moms (and babies) may argue that other brands taste a little better, Sprout Organic Quinoa Puffs are some of the healthiest you can find on the market.Buy Now
Happy Baby Organic Teethers,12 pack for $22.74 on Amazon
Amazon
Teething crackers are another dissolvable snack that babies seem to love. They are an elongated, oval cracker that a baby can hold, and practice chewing and sucking.

Happy Baby Organic Teethers contain zero artificial flavors and are made with fruits and vegetables. It’s a great way to safely introduce solid food to your little one.Buy Now
Trader Joe’s Bamba Peanut Snacks, 2 pack for $9.23 on Amazon

They’re easy for my baby to pick up (working on that pincer grasp), melt in his mouth, and are delicious (adult-friendly too). Composed of only four ingredients and very low in sugar, they offer 5 grams of protein.Buy Now

Single-Use Egg Products on Amazon We Really Want to Try
A kitchen gadget that accomplishes one thing infinitely well is often our desert-island, can’t-live-without-it tool we obsess over. Basically, we’re human and humans love tools. You know what else non-vegan humans love? Egg consumption. Naturally, there is a big overlap between helpful—and admittedly kind of weird—gadgets and chicken eggs. Eggs symbolize the circle of life, so it’s fitting that they bring a lot of frustration in the kitchen, as we work to boil them for the exact right amount of time, peel them without pitting them, poach them into puffs, and cut them into wedges and slices. There’s an egg gadget for every one of those situations and others, and don’t you know it, Amazon stocks these doodads in abundance. Below, the oddest single-use egg products on Amazon you’ll probably want right now.
TAKE 2 Germany Clack Egg Opener, $24.95 on Amazon
Amazon
Figuring out just how long to boil your oeuf à la coque is merely the first step. You still have to get into the golden-gooped thing, and that can be messy. An egg cracker works with gravity to break a ring around the top of the egg, so you can easily scalp it off.Buy Now
Creative Home Marble Egg Cup, 4 for $18.45 on Amazon
Amazon
Elevate your egg game, breakfasters. Every soft-boiled egg needs a pedestal anyway—why not one in seriously stunning white marble? Just add sea salt and arm yourself with a demitasse spoon.Buy Now
Chef Buddy Deviled Egg Trays with Snap-On Lids, 2 for $7.89 on Amazon
Amazon
Your deviled eggs may be dyed pink in beet juice and mohawked with jalapeño slices, but it’s all for naught if you can’t deliver the dish to your friend’s fête. These flower-shaped caddies will take your stuffed eggs on the road—18 or 36 at a time.Buy Now
Best Utensils Stainless Steel Egg Slicer Wedger Cutter, $10.99 on Amazon
Amazon
To get that restaurant-grade look in a classic chef salad, you’ll need to cut your hard-boiled egg into identical wedges. Eggs being slippery and malleable and crumbly on the inside, that’s easier said than done unless you’ve got this handy go-to device.Buy Now
Grania Egg Stripper, $19.99 on Amazon
Amazon
Basically a martini shaker for hard-boiled eggs, this egg stripper will get you past the shell without all that painstaking peeling. Load in up to five eggs at once, rattle real good, and find your handful of hard-boiled eggs way more manageable.Buy Now
Ikea Egg Slicer, $4.40 on Amazon
Amazon
Think of this as an egg guillotine that will give you perfectly sliced eggs. Also, the price is right (as is the color).Buy Now
Lodge Mini Cast Iron Skillet, 4 for $22.49 on Amazon
Amazon
One by one, fry your eggs sunny side up in these personalized skillets. While you’re at it, throw down some trivets and serve the eggs from stovetop to tabletop in the same dish and add some hash browns for a memorable breakfast party.Buy Now
Vencer Egg Skelter/Dispenser Rack, $14.99 on Amazon
Amazon
If you live in the United States and your eggs aren’t from the hen house on your farm (or the farmer’s market), then they probably have to be refrigerated. Still, this rollercoaster-esque rack gives good presentation on those mornings when you’re cooking with a lot of eggs in succession.Buy Now
OXO Good Grips Silicone Egg Poachers, 2 for $9.95 on Amazon
Amazon
Having tried and failed to produce a Julia-Child-worthy poached egg, these yolk-colored silicone cups will literally channel your dreams into a cookbook picture-perfect reality.Buy Now
Dawhud Direct Stainless Steel Egg Separator, $8.99 on Amazon
Amazon
How many egg yolks have slipped right through your fingers? This lifesaver device holds the yolk as the raw egg white drips down below in church-and-state-style separation.Buy Now

8 Egg-Centric Cookbooks Worth Cracking Into
This may be difficult to prove, but I’d be willing to bet that, of all the world’s food products, the egg has inspired the most literary output. The humble egg finds itself a central theme in everything from enraptured food scholarship, as in M.F.K. Fisher’s “The Art of Eating” (“Probably one of the most private things in the world is an egg before it is broken.”) to children’s books, as in Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham.” And that’s just printed text, nevermind all of the well-known metaphors, jokes, parables, puns, word merges, egg-cetera. You get the idea. Eggs. They’re kind of a thing.
And beyond that which is strictly lyrical, egg literature also has quite a catalogue in the form of cookbooks dedicated to their culinary egg-spression. (Apologies.) And why not? Eggs can stand alone as a meal of singular perfection. They can be separated so that the parts can work their magic independently in custards and soufflés. They can suspend all manner of other ingredients with their adhesive properties while still being delicious. Name me another food item that can work just as well as breakfast as dinner as dessert, plus everything in between. (If you just thought “wine” to yourself, DM me so we can be friends.)
Just in time for Easter, here’s a frittata’s worth of egg cookbooks to crack into if you seek similar inspiration, culinary or otherwise.
“Egg: A Culinary Exploration of The World’s Most Versatile Ingredient” by Michael Ruhlman, $27.19 on Amazon
Amazon
It is a cookbook, for sure, as it contains plenty of recipes, but it might also be a love letter. Ruhlman cleverly organizes chapters by a flowchart of separation and approach: including “Whole/Cooked in Shell,” “Separated/The White,” and “Separated but Used Together.” Ruhlman obviously opted not to call this “The Egg Bible,” but he very well could have for its expansive, meticulous nature.Buy Now
“Egg Shop: The Cookbook” by Nick Korbee, $19.70 on Amazon
Amazon
If your idea of heaven is a sunny neighborhood cafe serving brunch any day of the week, then this is the egg cookbook to help you get there. Recipes come straight from this quaint, NYC brunch spot with outposts in Nolita and Williamsburg—both neighborhoods appear when you google “hip.” Eggs feature in classic presentations like omelets, dance with luxury ingredients such as caviar, moonlight as construction materials in Fried Chicken and Waffles, and dazzle as meringue in Mile High Black Bottom Pie. Oh, and it includes some cocktail recipes, because how could heaven even be real without them? (Check out a couple recipes from the book on our site: Egg Shop Fried Chicken, and Pop’s Double-Stuffed, Double-Fluffed American Omelet recipe.)Buy Now
“The Perfect Egg: A Fresh Take on Recipes for Morning, Noon, and Night” by Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park, $15.19 on Amazon
Amazon
If your cookbooks are more likely to end up as pristine coffee table fodder than battle-weary, batter-stained kitchen soldiers, then kindly check out the gorgeous ombre of eggshells adorning the cover of this homage to the versatility of eggs. But then, how could you also resist digging into the well-organized, day-dreamy content, which offers lessons on basic cooking methods, as well as dozens of recipes each under Morning, Snacks, Afternoon, Night, and Sweets? I admire that egg-based soups get a fair shake here, and also that there is an entire sub-chapter devoted to various, flavorful Egg Salad Sandwiches, perhaps one of the most underrated meals of all time.Buy Now
“Eggs” by Michel Roux, $22.09 on Amazon
Amazon
The name says it all: Eggs. Full stop. No need for a lyrical subtitle; you know you’re working with the good stuff. The author’s name kinda says some things, too: A) He is French. B) His last name is also the name of a preparation for making creamy sauces that could go extremely well with eggs. C) This makes me want to take whatever he has to say here extremely seriously. A French chef with a global culinary education, Roux’s collection of recipes (with gorgeous photos provided by Martin Brigdale) span not only from the classic to the contemporary, but also the globe in their scope.Buy Now
“The Art of Cooking Omelets” by Madame Romaine de Lyon, $15.95 on Amazon
Amazon
As we move into the next set of cookbooks here, let us marvel in a singular fact: Not only are eggs themselves deserving of entire cookbooks, but even specific preparations of eggs are. As any accomplished chef or struggling culinary student can tell you, the deceptively simple omelet is the Holy Grail of cooking. The Mount Everest. The El Dorado. No, these aren’t clever Eggs Benedict variations, it’s just that cooking a perfect omelet is really freaking hard. The omelet is what separates truly intuitive cooks from those who can merely follow a recipe for adequate results. Either with filling, or unadorned, for my money, I’ll take omelet instruction from a Madame on this one any day.Buy Now
“Easy Frittata Cookbook” by Chef Maggie Chow, $8.99 on Amazon
Amazon
If you seek a single, skillet preparation to have in your back pocket to serve you for solo breakfasts, casual picnics, and entertaining-worthy dinners, let it be a frittata. Quiche’s breezier Italian cousin, the crust-free nature of the frittata ensures that your sanity stays intact, (unlike most pie crusts unlucky enough to cross my path,) while you are still able to nestle all manner of meats, vegetables, and cheeses within eggs’ warm embrace. Chef Chow outlines a simple ratio into which you can experiment with your favorite mix-ins, and also offers numerous variations of her own.Buy Now
“D’lish Deviled Eggs” by Kathy Casey, $12.79 on Amazon
Amazon
I’m going to go ahead and call this author a kindred spirit. Someone who understands that deviled eggs aren’t just a one-trick-picnic-pony. Nay, they are a blank canvas upon which a true artist can create a masterpiece. Not only does this hardcover manual provide some 50 deviled egg recipes to ensure your Princess of the Picnic status, but lessons in perfect hard-boiling and garnish are also offered. (The devil’s in the details, amirite?) Guys, she even dyes some of the egg whites crimson with beet juice to stunning effect, like a true artist. Kathy—call me?
“The French Cook: Soufflés” by Greg Patent, $18.66 on Amazon
Amazon
If you managed to get a grip on an omelet, you might be ready for soufflés, arguably the highest heights (literally) to which the supremely humble egg white can soar. The white of an egg holds fewer secrets than the golden yolk, but won’t be easily relegated to only a bland protein-source for dieters and muscle-builders alike. A soufflé shows how the egg white has muscle of its own, encouraged by air and butter to launch itself beyond the ramekin. Aided and abetted by sweet and savory components, whether single serving or centerpiece, molded or unmolded, this is the cookbook for those who identify more with the “show off” nature of eggs than the humble.Buy Now
