Fun Cookbook That Uses Fruit & Veggie Purees To "Sneak" Into Foods



I have been experimenting with different recipes in order to get the kids to eat more vegetables !! I know... it's not the "ideal" situation - but it is suitable as a last resort attempt !!




Healthy Blueberry Muffins With Butternut Squash Puree








Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins With Carrot Puree




Squash Puree Grilled Cheese







Deviled Eggs With Carrot Puree








Vegetarian Chili




Pancake Bear :)



Mind you.... they STILL wouldn't eat several of these creations... but it was worth a try :) And it's fun to experiment with cooking and baking !

The cold weather can be a bummer sometimes, but in other ways it opens up a whole new realm of FUN !!! We have gone toboganning quite a bit this winter, & we have also recently started skating too - Will is becoming pretty good at it !!


I must admit, I am about ready for Spring, but it is a joy to see the little guys enjoy the cold weather :)





Messy = FUN !















Every once in a while we have the pleasure of a visit with Charlotte:) On this particular visit, (while Cam was sleeping) we did a LOT of crafts - as you can see the kids had a blast getting good and messy !!!
