what's mac eating?

well, lately mac has turned into a picky eater, but definitely not as picky as me : ) he got jared's taste buds and adventure for food that is for sure.

we have had to find ways to disguise things in mac's food. we have to get creative and that is always fun especially when it is with food : )

so what is mac eating::

avocado blueberry pancakes topped with crushed walnuts
make normal pancake mix we use bisquick (but i left out the egg and added avocado)
1/2 avocado blended into batter (i used a egg beater)
add 1/2 cup blueberries to each pancake (if you ask mac he'd say the more blueberries the better)
cook on skillet
add crushed walnuts and a little lite syrup and ta da!! a more healthy pancake for the little man.


mac's favorite breakfast is blueberry pancakes in the morning especially when it is with grandma : )

and presto... we have a happy hungry little guy! 

another recipe we made up to hide some veggies in mac's dinner is::

carrot-pesto pasta

all you have to do is put basil, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan and 1 small can carrots into a food processor and blend it up. i add the above ingredients to taste and the texture of my choosing... we put the pesto sauce over spinach ravioli (but i am sure it would taste delicious with anything)

mac just gobbles this up.... he loves his pasta : ) 

so cheers! jared and i reap the benefit too, we can all use a little more veggies in our life right.
