Love My Veggies

Love My Veggies

It’s no secret that my Oliver likes to eat. We are very fortunate to have raised a healthy little foodie who generally eats his veggies. But there are days, where, like most toddler moms I worry about making sure he gets veggies in! Sometimes it’s a busy work week and we are low on groceries. Sometimes, I just don’t have the time needed to make a fancy toddler lunch and steam different veggies every day of the week. Or like this last week, O has been recovering from a nasty cold virus. He has had a decreased appetite and I’m happy if he eats anything! But then I secretly worry that maybe strawberries and graham cracker bunnies wasn’t the best lunch. Happy Family’s new Love My Veggies organic tot snacks to the rescue!

Love My Veggies

You may have noticed, I don’t do a lot of sponsored posts. But I do share what I love with my readers. When Happy Families asked if we would want to participate in their Love My Veggies challenge we were super excited. First of all, I love and trust this brand. When it comes to feeding my kids, I’m skeptical of ingredient lists on a lot of brands that aim their snacks at kids. From the get-go I loved that when I would read the back of the package on Happy Family products the ingredients were simple and pure. And typically read something like this: Organic broccoli, organic apples. Yes!

Happy Family’s new Love My Veggies organic tot snacks are the first toddler pouch to contain one full serving of vegetables (One serving of vegetables is 1/4 cup). In addition to one full serving of vegetables, Love My Veggies pouches provide essential nutrients including Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron and Magnesium to help nourish toddlers’ growing bodies. And for those of you with veggie haters, they are all mixed with fruit so your toddler will be none the wiser, and you can sneak those veggies in without them knowing!

Love My Veggies

Love My Veggies pouches are available in three great-tasting varieties including:
• banana, beet, squash & blueberry
• carrot, banana, mango & sweet potato
• spinach, apple, sweet potato & kiwi
and you can pick up a 4-pack of 4.22 oz. Love My Veggies pouches at Target for $5.89.

Cookies n Cream Cookies

Cookies n cream cookie

A friend of ours had a birthday yesterday and in addition to taking him to dinner I thought I would also bake him some cookies. I’ve always loved the “cookies n cream” cookies from our hometown favorite -Anthony’s Cookies in SF so I attempted to recreate them. I have to admit, I think I nailed it! I posted this picture on Instagram and had a few request for the recipe so I thought I would share it here.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
2 sticks of butter
3/4 cup of white sugar
3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 eggs
Close to a box of chocolate cream cookies (I used these)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Pre crumble cookie bits and drop into mix. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

I use a kitchen aid mixer which made my crumbles even smaller when mixing. I prefer to have a few larger bits as well. To achieve this, after rationing out each ball of dough on your cookie sheet, apply a few larger bits on top before baking and push them into the dough slightly with your finger.

Bake for about 11 minutes and get ready for deliciousness!!
