Such a worthwhile investment in support for new parents

While I’m happy to see more 20+C weather in the #YYC forecast this week, I do really love autumn... mostly for the comfort food It’s the time of year when I double or triple most of my soup, stew, and baked good recipes for freezing. This blended ginger butternut squash soup is so good and also has lots of carrots and chickpeas. One of my fave lunches paired with buttered biscuits and salad . . . #whatdietitianseat #yycdietitian #virtualdietitian #yycfood #yycmama #yycmoms #kidfriendlyfood #kidapproved #eattherainbow #homemade #homecooking

Pre-camping #mealprep is always worth the time investment! A couple of hours in the kitchen to prep, store, and freeze meals in advance so meals are as easy as reheating and serving. I also love to prewash and package salad greens, fruit, and veggies. What’s your favourite pre-prepped camping meal? . . . #camping #kidfriendlyfood #familyvacation #eattherainbow #mealhacks #feedinglittles #yycdietitian #virtualdietitian #yycmoms #yycmama

What a wonderful idea for a lending library! #yyc friends, consider donating to Moss Postpartum House if you have any fertility/prenatal/birthing/baby/LGBTQIA2S+ family books you’re looking to pass along
