Good food is important to me.
…hello Food Blogger
Getting my children to eat good food is even more important to me.
As babies, both Charlie and Stella were a dream to feed.
They were always hungry.
Ate pretty much whatever we gave them,
and seemed to love it all.
Well, those days are LONG gone.
Charlie will eat what you give him, but you’ll typically get a side order of attitude.
Stella, well, she’s never really been one to do {or eat} something she doesn’t want to.
Of course, they are never fussy when it comes to sweets or snacks.
So, I figured, that if they are going to snack, I’ll try and make them as healthy as possible.
I found a GREAT book
petit appetit ~ Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
Lisa’s book is full of great ideas for getting kids to eat better.
I thought I’d let Stella take a look and pick out some things that we could make together.
If she makes it she will eat it right?
She chose a cookie of course.
But, with only a handful of ingredients,
organic peanut butter being the main one,
they’re better than most.
These were gobbled up SO fast,
even the hubs went back for seconds.
Even better than that, I felt pretty good about the snack they were eating.
Maybe next time she’ll choose an actual main dish.
Peanut Butter Truffle Cookies
from petit appetit
1 cup of organic, natural creamy peanut butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
preheat the oven to 350
line a baking sheet with parchment paper
in a large mixing bowl combine everything except the chocolate chips
gently stir in the chips
drop by tsp. onto the baking sheet
bake 10 minutes
** allow the cookies to cool completely before you remove them from the pan
{they will crumble}
Enjoy!
About Heather @French Press
These are amazing Heather! And your kids would get along just fine with Jordan…
well then maybe they can cook for each other:)I’m getting frustrated
These sound wonderful!
these photos are gorgeous!! Your kids sound like mine
wow thank Aimee! I am always drooling over your photos
I’m going to look up that book. It may be good for my girlfriend–her son just turned two. He won’t eat meat, but loves veggies..for now.
I just checked it out on amazon…i don’t know if it’d be a worthwhile purchse since he’s already 2. That 2-3yo chapter is at the end of the book.
try petit appetit Eat, Drink, and Be Merry (her second book) LOTS of choices
Thanks!
also..every time I click your pin it button, i get a blank pin screen–no photo, description box isn’t filled out…I have to click the pin it in the tool bar for me to pin things from your blog. Is it me or you?
