Friday Treat Day!

This recipe for healthy no sugar, no sweetener of any kind, kid and parent approved, no guilt cookie comes from The Skinny Fork

I pinned this recipe on pinterest a while ago and today seemed like a perfect day to try them out! 

The recipe is as simple as:
2 mashed banana
1/3C creamy peanut butter
2/3C unsweetened applesauce

Mashed and mixed together

Add:
1 1/2C oats
1tsp vanilla
1tsp cinnamon

The original recipe calls for 1/2C of chocolate chips but since I was making these for little miss I decided to leave them out. I did put the tiniest dab of shaved 72% dark chocolate on top of about half of them.

Toddlers love to help and taste! No worries since there are no raw eggs in this recipe.

I sprayed coconut oil on my sheet pan and baked the cookies at 350 for about 25min and then let them sit on the pan for a few minutes to cool.

They stay together well and taste pretty good! Obviously not the same as a traditional cookie but pretty darn good for us!

Little Miss Approved!

Changes coming!

So...it's been awhile,

ok a long while! I had a baby and now she is a toddler and I am pretty devoted to providing her with healthy delicious food! We struggled a lot with her eating in the beginning. I wouldn't say she was extra picky as much as she just didn't eat much at all! It was so frustrating for me! I was determined to not give in to chicken nuggets and easy mac just so she would eat. For now she is eating pretty well. She is still a kid so she loves pizza and pasta but I try and make everything as nutrient dense as possible.

The next chapter of this blog will be all about what we eat, how I pack those nutrients in, how we have treats that don't ruin everything I'm trying to accomplish, and how we fun in the process.

I'm going to try and post twice a week to start. I have a long list of my normal go to meals and snacks, but lately I've been turning to Pinterest for inspiration.

Stay tuned....
