A Growing Family: Baby #2 is on the Way!

In summary, for a growing family with a new baby on the way, utilizing a slow cooker or instant pot for easy and hands-off meals is recommended. Involving older children in meal prep and cooking can be done by letting them help with simple tasks and choosing recipes to make together. Some must-have kitchen tools for a growing family include a slow cooker, instant pot, food processor, good quality knives, and a high chair or booster seat. To ensure enough nutrients for the family, incorporating plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into meals is important. Meal planning and grocery shopping can be made easier with a new baby by planning ahead, using grocery delivery or curbside pickup, and making larger batches of meals to
