I'm going to investigate further! I just looked at the label and it doesn’t have yeast extract but it does say spice extract and I know msg is hidden under “spices” a lot.

Is it exactly the same as MSG? I'm sad. Hmmmmm, I’m going to have to read about yeast extract. Is it exactly the same as MSG? I’m sad.

Love the picture with the potato - so cute! Just wanted to mention that most of the "Better Than Bouillon" (if not all) contain MSG in the form of 'yeast extract,' as listed on the label. So far, the only chicken broth I've found that doesn't have it is Pacific Foods Chicken Broth. Of course, it's more expensive because it's not a base and it also contains "natural flavors" - whatever those are! Thanks for the tips. I also make Power Oatmeal for my little one and most of the time, she loves it! Cheers, Allie (another toddler mom) Hi there! Love the picture with the potato – so cute!

I go through those little jars so quickly. Last night, I minced a clove of garlic, shredded a carrot, chopped a few mushrooms, added some onion and parsley... sauteed all of that in some olive oil until tender... then added my broth made from Chicken BTB. Then, I added some instant brown rice (ran out of time for the real thing). Quick, easy, yummy, healthy side dish with dinner, and four people out of five loved it at the dinner table, which isn't bad. Someone always doesn't like <i>something</i>, so I go by votes. :D We love soup made from BTB around here. I go through those little jars so quickly.

Gabriel eats oatmeal now every morning, so just a matter of adding in all the yummies. I love your ideas and really impressed (I don't say that lightly). Can't wait to try your other ideas. I am also very conscious of my son's diet, but struggle sometimes with coming up with healthy variety. I never thought that could eat a raw potato! Will try that, too.
