Confessions from the Pouch

Real Food Resource: Wholesome Mommy

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Melissa Winn | 0 Comments

Here at Little Green Pouch, we are loving learning about Real Food. There are so many fantastic resources out there for those of us trying to better understand the Real Food movement, and incorporate it into our lifestyle.

We were excited to recently discover a great Real Food resource in Wholesome Mommy.  Wholesome Mommy is a blog for busy moms trying to feed their family Real Food. Denise Sawyer, author of the blog, keeps it “REAL SIMPLE for those of us who don’t have all day to spend in the kitchen or don't have time to hunt exotic ingredients.” She has fantastic recipes and provides great tips and tricks (like how to purchase chicken) to make wholesome living easy and affordable (check out her Real Food on a Food Stamp Budget meal plans).

Wholesome Mommy has been kind enough to create a great Real Food Pouch Recipe for Little Green Pouch that is perfect for pouches and also great for Valentine's Day — Apple Beet Sauce. How pretty is that color? You can find the full recipe HERE. 

We hope you’ll give this Real Food Pouch Recipe a try, and let us know your thoughts. And don’t forget to send over Real Food Pouch Recipes of your own. If we love them (which we’re certain we will), we’ll include them on our Real Food Recipes hub, our general Recipes Page and our Real Food Pinterest Board.  I mean, you’ll practically be famous!

We’ll check in with you next week to let you know how other Real Foodies are filling their Little Green Pouches, and of course, what’s in Parker’s Pouch this week.

‘Til next time,

Maggie & Melissa

Fall Means Fresh Apples and Homemade Applesauce

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Maggie Crawford | 0 Comments

Kristin Grages of Manchester, New Hampshire shared this shot of her 11 month old Alex enjoying his new Little Green Pouch. Kristin says he loves it, and she loves the money she’s saving buying fewer pouches.  What’s he eating? That day the pouch had homemade applesauce with banana purée – Alex’s favorite combo to date. They picked up the apples at the farm stand in her hometown when they got Alex's first Halloween pumpkin. Maybe a pumpkin puree next?

Applesauce for Sarah

 Yesterday one of our beta testers sent in this adorable video of her 12 month old (I know, I know, why do we mother's insist on counting months - she's a year old!) independently sucking down her applesauce (which her mom called "the perfect 2nd child food" :)... Hope you enjoy the video as much as we did!

Thanks to Sarah's mom, Stephanie of Seattle, WA for capturing this adorable moment and sending it to us!
