Pancakes, pancakes & more pancakes! :)

I think all parents of toddlers could use this secret recipe.  It is amazing.

Our current answer to toddler eating is PANCAKES.  In the most untraditional of ways.  G currently eats mostly grain free, dairy free and soy free.  And very little fruit.  And he only really likes one vegetable: sweet potato in the form of homemade sweet potato fries.  He doesn't like the ones from the store.  That leaves us with eggs, meat, corn tortillas, some questionable dairy free "cheese" and "monkey snack" (aka Gorilla Munch cereal).

The pancakes.  He LOVES pancakes in all forms.  My wonderful friend Megan called a couple months ago with this recipe: 2 eggs + 1 mashed banana = pancakes.  The dietician helped me realize 2 eggs + about 1/2 cup of anything else also = pancakes.  The only other thing I've tried so far is acorn squash.  I did add a little bit of cinnamon and maple syrup, but G loved them.  And if he doesn't eat them all in one serving, I can make them into peanut butter sandwiches.   Perfect little snack.

My second most favorite new thing is chocolate avocado pudding.  There are a whole bunch of recipes out there.  And honestly, Gavin has yet to try it.  But I think it is amazing and he keeps asking for it.... it is just the toddler in him who is unsure about trying new things.  So, I'm making it again today.

Happy toddler feeding and Happy Thanksgiving.  :)

  1. This is a very good idea. I think this will come in handy for little miss Paige who wants to eat everything Parker eats... even though she only has 2 teeth. Side note: when do we get the kitchen reveal?!?! Merry Christmas!
