There’s a reason that Catherine McCord is a mommy favorite. Her recipes, featured on Weelicious, are quick, easy and appeal to the young, and the young at heart. Even better, many of her meals offer a healthy spin on traditional fare.

Take cult-status quinoa – a grain full of protein and free of gluten – and imagine trying to feed it to your kids. Give it to McCord and she whips it into comfort food in her banana quinoa “rice” pudding dish. A former model, culinary school graduate and mother of two preschoolers, McCord cares about the health of her children and the environment. Her recipes feature organic ingredients and she strongly advocates for purchasing produce from your local farmer’s market.

Toddler-tested recipes like black bean hummus, avocado-banana smoothies, and persimmon fruit leather are posted daily on Weelicious as well as a weekly “how-to” video. Looking for lunchbox inspiration? McCord posts snapshots on Facebook of the nutritious and drool-worthy lunches she packs. Mix in vegetarian and vegan recipes, baby food purees, finger food ideas, and there’s something for every appetite, including ours which is fan of the chocolate cinnamon baked donuts. Bon appétit!
