So, I was wanting to make some muffins for Sutton to shake things up a little bit in her eating routine. As I have mentioned before, I want her to be an unpicky eater. I came up with this recipe this morning. I am really going to strive to feed her nutritious food as well.
Banana Mini Muffins
1 box banana cake mix
6 tbls. Egg Beaters egg whites
1/2 cup natural unsweetened applesauce
1 banana, mashed
2 tbls. water
Mix all ingredients and drop into muffin tin sprayed with cooking spray or lined with muffin papers. Bake for approximately 20 minutes on 350 degrees. They are done when the top springs back. Yields 36 mini muffins. You could also do these as regular sized muffins and it would most likely yield 24.
I wish I had a picture to upload with this, however, my camera is acting up. Sorry!

I like to feed myself!
We have reached the stage where Sutton wants to feed herself. It is usually a messy adventure but definitely a fun one! I am always trying to find new "finger foods" for her. So far we have had cheese, pears, apples, bananas, avocado, soft cereal bars, waffles, pancakes, grilled cheese, deli ham and chicken, ground beef, peas, carrots, and of course Cheerios! That hits the main ones anyway. To anyone out there with young little ones, I can't stress enough the importance of letting them taste things you may not think they will like. One of Sutton's favorite baby foods in the jar is broccoli with carrots and cheese. It smells horrible! Neither Sean or myself really care for broccoli. She scarfed it down! Who knew?!
My goal is to not raise a picky eater like I was. God Bless my mom. She was a good cook, but never used many spices or made anything out of the ordinary. I never knew I liked Chinese, Mexican or even alfredo sauce until college! I am amazed at the things Sutton will eat that I have cooked. She's had lasagna, southwestern chicken barley chili, turkey burgers, potato soup, oven fries, homemade pizza and more. We are almost out of the first food allergy window and I am grateful for that! We will try to hold off on peanut butter until age 2. We'll see how long we make it.
I also want her to eat healthy. I realize we aren't always going to be able to do it, but that's my goal. If anyone has any other suggestions of good finger foods, please let me know.
