Creamy Mushroom Linguine – (Toddler Meal)

Hello friends! Today I am going to make my fourth recipe of my 7 days 7 easy meals for toddlers. It is a delicious easy recipe of creamy mushroom linguine. Mushroom is a very good vegetable to include in your child diet; they are anti-oxidants and rich in zinc. They lower cholesterol level, support immune system, increase vitamin D level, maintain healthy skin, and contain natural insulin. In addition, red pepper is good for the eyes, maintain a healthy heart, cure anemia, boost immune system, lower bad cholesterol, regulate blood pressure, and prevent hypertension.

Tip of the Day: kids need to eat at regular times. Kids’ blood sugar drops fast so when you ignore a meal you will misbehavior and moodiness. The rule of thumb is that a young child needs to eat every three hours, which means three meals, and two snacks spread throughout the day.
