So after deciding to renew my efforts to get Sierra interested in eating new foods I bought a cookbook filled with kid friendly, healthful recipes. Sierra and I sat down and went through the book together. She pointed out the dishes she would like to try. One of the first recipes she picked was blueberry muffins. After school we gathered the ingredients and started mixing...
I didn't have cupcake liners so we decided to make a blueberry loaf instead. It didn't turn out bad but it would have been a lot tastier had we used sugar and
butter instead of honey and buttermilk!
In Sierra's defense she has been eating a lot better since she started school. Her tastes are all over the place though. She loves baked chicken and all fruits. She doesn't like green beans except the ones they cook at school. She won't touch potatoes (or french fries) but she loves Frosted Mini Wheats. I was hoping that being involved in the cooking and baking would peak her interest in trying new foods. No such luck - she wouldn't touch it. I feel like this is major payback for being such a picky eater my entire life.
