100 Foods Before 1



If any other BLW parents were like me and decided to do the "100 Foods Before 1" challenge, the hardest part is thinking of one hundred different foods to serve! I realized once we were in the fifties that I was completely out of ideas. As I Googled, walked the store aisles, and searched the Solid Starts app, I thought I should make a list when we got to 100 to share with other people looking for ideas. I was a bit of a stickler (a taco or a hamburger or a meatball is all beef) and did not count different varieties (yellow squash vs butternut is all just squash). It made it more challenging and meant that she truly had 100 different foods. So here are Sloane's first one hundred foods, with a little blurb about how I served them or a video link to how they were prepared!
