This is a recipe I got from a friend, who got it from a friend, etc. They're so delicious that picky eater Little T begs for them. My friend usually brings them to the park for play group every week and T has started asking her for them. So this is a recipe I really need to remember.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup whole oats
1 1/4 cup milk
1 tsp white vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 egg
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup brown sugar
one or two mashed bananas optional
(I diced up 2 green apples instead of bananas and added 2 tbs cinnamon)
Mix by hand combining all ingredients.
Bake at 425⁰ for 10 minutes.
Makes 24 mini muffins.
SO. SO. GOOD

The Vegetable Marinara
I love pasta, and it's one of those few foods where there's a 90% chance my kids will eat it. So we eat it semi-often. Over the years my husband and I have tried many different store bought varieties and found them all lacking. Then my mother-in-law gave us thissalt and pepper recipe. It was delicious! But the only vegetable was a can of crushed tomatoes, and I was wanting more. So here's what I did:
saute all of the above and then add
I've added different vegetables and done a lot of trial and error with this recipe, but my favorite additions are:
And for even better news, it's one of those meals that I can make the sauce the night before, put in the fridge, and just heat up when it's time to eat. We always have enough for at least 2 nights.
Ground beef or sausage can also be added to this if you're looking for some extra protein. Just cook separately and add while the sauce is simmering.
And have you ever tried these noodles?
They're amazing. Even my kids like them. We call them magic noodles and they totally bought it.
