Easter Weekend BLOG! ~Guest Blog for Spoiled Sugar~

Just wanted to start off and say a great big THANK-YOU to Spoiled Sugar for putting together an awesome AUCTION last week and all the venders who donated their product. Was a great success! All the money that was raised will go to Weekend to End Cancer.

Good Friday, Earth Day! This day was a great day doing a whole lot of things from getting orders delivered. Getting ready for Easter Weekend. Working on the boys Easter baskets. So what are you putting in the Easter Baskets that are a healthy choice? Here is a list of things that we have put in the boys basket . Yes Chocolate is in their basket but that's not what it's all about.

Our Easter Basket Goodies

1. A summer outfit (I bought my boys) new swimming trunks & mussel shirt


2. 3 cake pop's in the sape of an Easter egg made by (http://www.sugarandspicebakery.ca ) my boys will get 3 each


3. They each get a set of bubbles for outside


4. Sidewalk Chalk


5. Colouring books & Crayons


6. I also made both boys a CD with their favorite music for the car

We don't want to take away the "no chocolate" we wanted to add some special things in their baskets. I'd like to know what you put in your child(ren) basket. You can let us know on our fan page http://www.facebook.com/babyyums

Baby Yums wants to let you know if you post any photos of your craft(s) be it for Earth Day and/or Easter and you post it on our Facebook Fan page & Tag yourself in it you will get $3.00 off your order with Baby Yums. http://www.babyyums.com This deal will expire on the 25th of April 2011.

Need a easy stuffing recipe for your Easter Turkey? Baby Yums would like to share thing simple yet tasty recipe. *Recipe found on Cooking Nook"

Best Turkey Stuffing

3/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped celery
4 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried savory
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
14 cups dried white bread, cubed

In a large frying pan, melt butter over a medium heat. Fry onions and celery together with the dried herbs, salt and pepper, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a very large bowl. Add the bread cubes and mix well.

If you are making the stuffing ahead: Transfer the cooked vegetable mixture to a large bowl. Let cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for 24 hours. Mix with bread cubes before stuffing the bird.

Stuff the turkey at both ends with this mixture. (see our Roast Turkey Recipe for directions on stuffing the bird).

IMPORTANT: Stuff the turkey just before baking it. Do NOT stuff the bird ahead and let it sit, even in the refrigerator. It can become infected with bacteria and make you quite ill.

Enjoy and feel free to share your favorite stuffing!

Next week we will be posting our "Mother's Day give-a-way", another Kitchen Gadget & Spring time activities for the kids & a Family friendly recipe everyone can enjoy!

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND!! Enjoy the long and much deserved Weekend

Welcome Wednesday ~ to Baby Yums

Welcome Wednesday ~ to Baby Yums You may or may not have seen the good news posted in our previous blog. Just to give you a brief rundown and not to be repetitive. We’ve added a few changes to our website and prices take a look at our changes. For more information please feel free to read the blogs below or send an e-mail to info@babyyums.com We’ve been getting some inquires lately regarding delivery charges. As we’re all aware of the increases of gas prices Baby Yums offers delivery upon request. We charge .30 cents per km *one way* We think that is more then economical. We’ve done some research and the going rate for the province of Ontario is .55 cents per km. We’re also more then willing to meet half way if that cuts down the cost on your delivery charge. You will only be charged for the km to meet you half way. Another option if your not interested in picking up your order. All this info will be posted on our website shortly. Our teething cookies have finally made it to the list of “food choices” 12 cookies for $5.00 great for babies 8 month +. We’ve even eaten them as a snack in our house. Someone has to taste test them right? We’re still waiting for a few more entrees for Pear combos. We have received a few great combos and are excited to give them a try. Baby Yums has donated a $30.00 gift certificate with 2 Baby Yums magnets. For an auction taken place on Friday April 15th. All the money donated will go to The Weekend to End Cancer. Please take a look at what’s up for auction. There are a lot of great product especially for little ones. Here is the link http://www.32auctions.com/view_auction?id=weekendtoendcancer&pwd=spoiledsugar feel free to pass along to family, friends & co-workers.

Feels great the Sun is shining where getting some April showers to bring them pretty May flowers. & Best of all it’s FRIDAY! Welcome to Baby Yums guest blog for Fabulous Fridays! Speaking of Friday it brings us into the weekend. Most families take the time during their hectic week to plan & play with the family during the weekend. What do you do with your family and how do you have fun? Last weekend my husband and I took the kids to the Sugar Bush. Felt great to get out and enjoy the weather, slowly seeing things “spring” back to live. Everyone coming out of hiding, kids laughing, sparkle in everyone’s eyes, birds singing and the Maple Syrup ohh so yummy! I asked a few people what their favourite activities with the family and here is a list that I got. Outdoors: walking/hiking/road trip/market/farm/ Indoors: crafts/reading/dancing/singing/playing/movie(s)/shopping/ Activities: events/concerts/eating out/visiting people/museums/ Here are my top personal 3 for each: Outdoors: We love drawing on the driveway with chalk with the boys so much fun Indoors: We love crafts get messy and enjoy the magical creativity Activities: We love to visit Family & Friends Please feel free to add a comment and let us know what you and your family enjoy doing add your own personal touch. We all have our favourites would love to hear what you and your family do to. A few blogs back I posted a recipe for a great spaghetti sauce that the whole family can enjoy. This week I’ve decided to focus on a recipe geared towards babies for beginners 6+ here is the recipe I’d like to share with you. *please make sure your baby has tired peas first & pears first before mixing them together just in case of any allergies.* Featured recipe this week is: Peas & Pears 2 cups frozen green peas 1 or 2 small ripe pears (peeled, cored and chopped) Directions: Place frozen peas pot of water cover and bring to a boil. Boil peas for 4 min Add chopped pear and cook another 2 minutes on HIGH. Puree to your babies choice for consistency Great for freezing Now that Spring is finally here what better way to enjoy the sunshine in your kitchen along side a great kitchen craft with your little ones with the window open and a little fun children’s music playing. I usually do fun crafts with my 2.5 year old when my 14month old is sleeping in the afternoon. This is when I take advantage of one on one time with my oldest who loves crafts! So my craft pick this week is: Animals out of plastic coloured Easter eggs. Here is the link that I found all the great info on how to make this craft followed by great photos: http://www.jollymom.com/2010/03/easter-craft-idea-turn-plastic-easter.html If you do this craft please feel free to post your photos on our fan page: http://www.facebook.com/babyyums I will post ours once it’s done!
