Pumpkin Packed Mac

This is just a quick post while the pumpkin season is still in full effect.  My three year old will not eat a fruit or vegetable to save her life (literally!). I can get her to eat the occasional applesauce packet or smoothie but those are hit or miss. My 1 year old, on the otherhand, will eat nearly anything (she loves frozen blueberries and frozen peas and carrots (Trader joe's is great for these!). So I bought this book (at the Goodwill of course) Deceptively Delicious. It really got me thinking in an array of directions.

It's pretty basic...just puree veggies and add them to foods. The key is that they have to be of similar colors...like pumpkin and mac n' cheese!  Canned pumpkin has a mild taste and a smooth texture.  It has loads of health benefits.

It blends in so nicely. The color matches perfectly. Best of all...It's been working!

 SO stock up while canned pumpkin is cheap and this will be a great way to get some added health into your little elf.
