Kid Tested, Mother Approved!

Now that we have a BIG girl and she is eating more food than drinking milk officially, I have been coming up with lots of new creations to be sure she gets a balanced diet of all the important stuff!  Here is an easy recipe that combines lots of good stuff and easy for the over-achievers to feed themselves if they want to.  Paige is very determined to feed herself!

What you need:

2 eggs
splash of milk
small handful of cheddar (or any cheese you have on hand)
1/2 of a carrot-shredded

To get your carrots soft enough (if your munchkin doesn't have plenty of teeth yet) I put the shreds in a bowl with water and let cook for 8 minutes in the microwave-then drain

in a small pan, spray with non-stick and pour in your egg/milk/chz combo, cook on low and cover.  After a few minutes throw in your carrot shreds and cook up scrambled-style.  Paige absolutely loves this recipe and its a very balanced meal she can feed herself.  Although it sounds like breakfast, its usually a dinner meal for her since its pretty filling but as she gets bigger it will be a great breakfast too! 

Other fun add ins: diced tomatoes, diced mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, zucchini, ground beef...the options are endless of the things you can sneak in~!~

Hope your little ones enjoy!
