Raves and Reviews

To celebrate 10 years of creating organic baby food goodness, Happy Family recently launched its first cookbook. Featuring 70 easy-to-follow recipes, the cookbook is the perfect companion to help you introduce your little ones to new flavors and textures before taste preferences set in and while they’re still willing to be adventurous. The coconut milk salmon with cauliflower and spinach and sweet potato and raisin pancakes were big hits in our home.

“It's a wonderful resource for making baby food at home, and with more than seventy easy-to-prepare recipes made with all-natural ingredients, the Happy Family Organic Superfoods Cookbook offers a fresh, nutritious, and accessible approach that is really helpful. Even better, the recipes are packed with nutrient-rich superfoods that are easy to find at the grocery store (think quinoa, chia, and kale for babies; strawberry-beet pudding with coconut milk and chia for toddlers).”
