"I thought of the concept weeks ago, but tried it out for the first time this morning. It was good. I used only 1/4 tsp vanilla, but I could barely distinguish it, so I recommend using a tad more if you prefer bold flavors like myself. Can be easily doubled, tripled, etc. And experiement with extracts. I'm sure vegans (or non-ovos) can use tofu."

"This is more for the older baby that has graduated to finger foods. Like around 1 yr. old and older. It's super easy and quick and mom gets to control how sweet (or not sweet) it is. Just be sure to cool completely before serving. (Don't wan't to burn little ones hands or mouth!) I've even been guilty of snacking on this myself! I use..."

"You've got mere moments between soccer practice and a music lesson or a trip to the climbing gym or a committee meeting. Sound familiar?

"Wanted to use up old mealy apples and ended up with a scrumptious, almost dessert-like creation! I adapted this from an internet microwave apple sauce recipe and the Joy of Cooking's french apple sauce recipe. Funny thing is they both called for sugar, but I don't think it needs it."

"This is so easy and such a hit with kids! Compliments vegetables, chicken and tofu. I prefer to make this with crunchy peanut butter and whole wheat spaghetti.
