Picky Eater Part Dos!

I have been trying to outsmart my picky eater for a while, well I had to take a break when he got sick. Why? When you are sick the best way to heal is to eat healthy right? Well, Luca refused to eat...ANYTHING! He was on a total food strike for almost 2 weeks. I actually started getting scared by how little he was eating. I have no idea how he was able to survive on the 3 to 4 bites of food he was eating, A DAY! All the sudden about 3 days ago he started getting his appetite back. Each day since, he has eaten a little more. So now, finally, I am back on track to outsmart my picky eater.

Like I have said before, most recipes people put out there for picky eaters are a joke! Luca won't even touch, no less lick, a disguised vegetable OR fruit. I search and search for hours for good recipes and normally come up with about 1 or 2. Here is a new one Im trying today, Carrot Muffins. Now, lets be honest, there is more sugar in the muffins than carrot, but its a small start! I would much prefer carrot muffins as a snack than his usual goldfish or cheese. There isn't anything wrong with goldfish and cheese, but the kid needs some veggies in his life! And I plan to use the left over puree in my spaghetti sauce for another day!

So here for hopin'!

Carrot puree

Dry and wet ingredients

Mixed together

Ready for the oven!

Done!

This guy is pretty easy to please, so I wasn't surprised when he begged for a muffin! I have to admit though, I ate one too! A cook has to try her own food right? Umm...they were pretty good! And taste NOTHING like carrots. 

But this is who really is the judge. Mr. Picky himself.

He kept me in suspense for a long time. He just held the muffin....

Its like he knew!!

A little taste, then a BIG taste, then he ate the whole thing! Its a May 15th miracle!!

I will be making this again for sure, but will probably change up the recipe a little. Ill add either more carrot, or maybe add some spinach, and Ill probably cut back a little on the sugar!

Success!!! Happy Friday! And happy eating!!
