Lunch

Oatmeal Crackers

Made these for my daughter one day. She likes them more than store-bought ones, and I like knowing what she's eating.

Lunch

Carrot Pulp Muffins

Looking at the mound of carrot pulp from my juicer and then at my 2 1/2-year-old daughter (who loves bread) inspired me to experiment with carrot pulp recipes. This muffin is dense, healthy, and can be tweaked to suit your tastes. As is, it is not sweet, but you could certainly add mashed ripe banana or pineapple. Once out of the oven, sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar while they are still hot.

Lunch

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins

These whole wheat muffins made with pumpkin and applesauce are perfect for those times when you have half a can of pumpkin left over. They taste great right from the oven but are even better the next day if they last that long! Kids love them, and it's a good way to sneak fruits, veggies, and fiber into their diets.

Lunch

Pumpkin Spinach Toddler Muffins

These sanity-saving, healthy pumpkin muffins for toddlers are packed full of veggies and gentle spices. They're the perfect finger food for your little one and a nice self-contained meal or snack for a more independent eater.
