Enter Mika Shino -- a mom who's passionate and knowledgeable about food and nutrition.

Here, Mika shares some of her favorite brain-building finger food recipes. (Please note: While the recipes mention recommended ages for introducing foods, it's very important that you work with your pediatrician to understand the latest guidelines and concern about allergens specific to your child.) - By Amy Heinz
