Nourishing Recipes
Traditional, nutrient-dense recipes organized by the Five Pillars of baby nutrition. Each recipe is designed for maximum nourishment with minimal fuss.
The Five Pillars
Pillar 1
Gut Maturity First
Fermented foods before nutrient-dense foods. Breast milk is low in iron by design.
Pillar 2
Cholesterol & Stable Fats
Rate-limiting for myelination. Egg yolk is the priority first food.
Soft-Cooked Egg Yolk (4-Minute Method)
The priority first food. Jammy, cholesterol-rich yolk that provides building blocks for myelination.
Yolk & Avocado Mash
Combining two perfect first foods: cholesterol-rich yolk and vitamin E from avocado.
Pillar 3
Bioavailable Micronutrients
Heme iron 15-35% absorption vs fortified cereal 2-5%. Dose matters.
Mild Liver Pâté
The most nutrient-dense food on earth, made mild and palatable. Freeze in ice cube portions for easy serving.
Liver Bites (Finger Food)
Soft, iron-rich finger foods for self-feeding practice.
Mini Meatballs (Hidden Liver)
For the liver-resistant baby. Beef meatballs with 20% liver hidden inside.
Liver-Hidden Bolognese
Family-friendly sauce where liver vanishes into the tomato. Everyone eats the same meal.
Pillar 4
Glycine & Collagen
Conditionally essential during growth. Bone broth 2-3 oz/day max.
Weekly Bone Broth
The foundation of nourishing baby food. Gelatin-rich broth that gels when cold, providing glycine and collagen for gut and tissue development.
Roasted Bone Marrow
Traditional nutrient powerhouse. Rich in fat-soluble vitamins and stem cell factors.
Pillar 5
Preformed DHA
Structural component of brain gray matter. Conversion from plant omega-3 <5%.
