When Jeanne Wallace’s two daughters woke up from their nap the other day – the oldest girl is 3 ½, and the younger one 23 months – they ate radishes for their afternoon snack. Each girl happily ate ten radishes – washed, raw and fresh from their mother’s garden. It was a typical of their tastes – both the children love vegetables, and their favorites are broccoli and cauliflower. They didn’t even want any salad dressing.
Wallace, who lives in Austin, Texas, credits her young daughters’ healthy eating habits to the fact that she made her own baby food for them. Wallace ate many nutritious foods during her pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and making her own baby food for the girls when they were infants seemed to be the natural next step, she said.
