Just Make Yourself a Dang Quesadilla!

It is a total crap shoot as to whether Jack will eat what I am making for dinner. One night, he will scarf all the chicken and the next spit out anything that even touched chicken. Forget about beef while marinara sauce is ok if he dips his pasta into it. To avoid going crazy, I always keep a back-up in the fridge. Something that I can pull out if he decides nothing on his plate taste good. Right now, that something is whole-wheat broccoli and cheese quesadillas. (I know this looks incredibly easy, and it is, but a friend of mine thought this was the best idea ever. So I am putting in up here just in case you haven't thought of it yet.)
Whole-Wheat Broccoli and Cheese Quesadillas
2 whole-wheat tortillas
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (feel free to mix up your cheeses...mozzarella is also big at our house)
2-3 Tbsp. frozen broccoli, broken up into little pieces

Heat the pan on medium heat, throw the tortilla down, sprinkle some cheese, place to broccoli over the cheese, sprinkle a little more cheese (this creates a lock so the broccoli stays in and won't fall out), top with the other tortilla and heat until everything is melted. Then cut it up into small triangles and serve warm or cold. This is a great travel food too. Enjoy!

Frenchy Goodness

Now that we are getting fresh eggs courtesy of our lovely ladies, I am trying to find recipes that are Jack friendly. He won't eat eggs by themselves (not in any form...I have tried) so I found a great french toast recipe for him. Yum.French Toast Sticks
Adapted from The Super Baby Food Book
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients onto a platter. Place two pieces of whole wheat bread in the mixture and let soak. Turn bread over once and let the other side soak. Once all the egg mixture is soak up (usually about 20 minutes or so) cut the bread into small slices. KEEP TOGETHER!
Using a spatula, put the whole piece of bread(but really cut up already) into a pre-heated frying pan (I like mine on medium). After you get the bread into the pan, use the spatula to separate the sticks. Any other way and they will fall apart. Trust me.
Cook until the wet side is dry looking then flip over and brown the other side. Jack likes his a little custardy on the inside. Delicious.


Uh yeah, that would be the WHOLE stick shoved into his mouth. I am hoping this is a phase he is going through...or it could be because he is 1/2 Joseph.
