Recipes for introducing tree nut to your baby. Current guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics is to offer the common allergens early, around 6 months once a few first foods are going well, and to keep offering them regularly. These recipes use tree nut in a baby-safe form and show how much is in each serving, so you can introduce it on purpose and keep it in rotation.

Every recipe on Heartful Sprout is checked against USDA nutrition data and tagged by stage, texture, and allergen, so you can match it to where your child is right now. Save favorites, add them to a meal plan in the app, and share the week with your pediatrician or dietitian.

Pesto Shakshuka

This is one of my favorite dishes to make when I’m having company over because it looks beautiful but is incredibly easy to make. Shakshuka are baked eggs, traditionally in a tomato based sauce, found commonly in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Serve the dish alongside a thick slice of buttered sourdough, brown rice or all on its own! Make it vegan by removing the eggs and cheese and adding in grilled tomato slabs and avocado.
