Time to try the mashed potatoes with cauliflower. I asked Ryan if he liked the potatoes and he said, "Why? What did you put in them?" You put cauliflower in them didn't you?" He said he could tell, but I don't think he really could. He told me I could do this stuff with the girls, but I didn't need to change his food too.
. A little
likes them.
Can you tell
Ashlyn doesn't feel the best. Poor thing was running a fever for two days.
Eating her mashed potatoes with cauliflower puree.
Yay, She likes them.
Kenna trying her mozzarella stick with cauliflower puree.
She ate her orange, mac n' cheese, broccoli, and mozzarella/cauliflower stick, but she wasn't a fan of her chicken
quesedilla. At least she ate the most important things.
Some things we have made so far are....
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (with banana and zucchini puree) I couldn't puree my zucchini because I already had it shredded and in my freezer, so I just put it in shredded and it turned out good. The girls liked them.
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (with Sweet Potato puree) - This was a success.
Hot Cocoa (with sweet potato puree) I have given to this Ashlyn twice when she only took a few bites of her supper.
Here is the simple recipe....
1 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sweet potato puree
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1/8 tsp. salt ( I don't put the salt in)
1/8 tsp. cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
marshmellows
Combine the milk, sweet potato puree, chocolate syrup, salt, and spice in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Pour into mugs and top with marshmellows.
Fruit Punch (with raspberries, pineapple, and carrot puree) Ashlyn liked it, but Makenna not so much.
Chocolate Pudding (with avocado puree) Makenna liked it. My avocado needed to ripen a tad more so my pudding didn't turn out smooth.
Mozzarella Sticks (with cauliflower puree) This was a success.
Mashed Potatoes (with cauliflower puree) - This was a success.
French Toast (with banana and sweet potato puree) This was a success.
4 large eggs
2 T. banana or pineapple or sweet potato or carrot or butternut squash puree, or canned pumpkin
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
4 slices wheat bread
2 tsp soft tub margarine spread
Pure maple syrup, confectioner's sugar, or fresh fruit
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, puree, and cinnamon. Add the bread slices to mixture and cook. Yummy.
This is another Jessica Seinfeld recipe. I made breakfast bars with pineapple/apricot preserve (it was supposed to be blueberry) and spinach puree. Ashlyn liked it. YAY!
Kenna & Kenzie (try getting those names straight when they are together, WHEW!) thought this was just the neatest thing ever....squeezing their own oranges to make orange juice. This contraption use to be my Grandpa Ellis'. Such a typical Gpa Ellis contraption too. He probably ordered this out of one of the many catalogs he got in the mail each month.

For breakfast this morning....Scrambled Eggs, Banana French Toast w/ blueberries, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
