Family recipes are meals the whole table can share, from the baby to the grown-ups. Each one shows which stages it suits, how to adapt a portion for a baby or toddler, and complete nutrition facts per serving, so one pot of dinner covers everyone without a separate kids menu.

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.
