Sunbutter Balls - My own creation

This is something I tweaked from a recipe from "Feed me I am yours" and added too and took our peanut butter since it's not recommended for children under 2 years old to eat peanut butter or nuts.

1/2 sunbutter

3-1/2 tablespoons of nonfat dry milk

1/8 cup shaved coconut

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/8 cup Old Fashioned Oats

Combine ingredients, roll into balls, and store in refrigerator.

I whipped these things up in less than 10 minutes and let them sit in refrigerator for 1.5 hours. Jonah ate one and LOVED it. It was a little sticky, but he did really well. I tasted them and they are SUPER yummy!

Enjoy.

Sorry for the crappy quality of picture. I just wanted you to see the finished product.

Coconut Rice Recipe from Weelicious

In the last few weeks, Jonah has gotten VERY picky about his food. He was picky before, then loosened up, only to get so strict on what he eats it really leaves me guessing at each meal.... "What in the world am I going to feed him?" So I am always looking for creative ideas to spruce things up. Not only will it be fun for him (hopefully) but me too. :)

Tonight we tried the Coconut Rice recipe from Weelicious. It was very easy to make. Jonah has loved brown rice, mexican rice and risotto....so I thought for sure we would have a winner. Tonight he didn't like it. I think it's only because of the recent pickiness. If I would have given this to him 3 weeks ago there wouldn't be any left. So what did I do? I decided to add it to Stonyfield Organic Baby Yogurt (Peas and Pears). I made it like Tapioca. And, he ate it! Success. If it takes covert operations to make him eat things, I will do it!

For those of you making your baby food at home, Weelicious has TONS of healthy options. I am trying her Sweet Potato Cocount Puree next! Yum.
