Arabella is a little bit of a picky eater at this age, heck if it isn't peanut butter & jelly or chicken strips we have a hard time getting her to eat it. So tonight I made my numalicious Deviled Chicken Breasts, with roasted garlic rice, and healthy colors vegetable blend. To say the least I scarfed it up. Evan actually chowed down and loved it too. Arabella is a big fan of rice so I knew that would go over well, and me not wanting to fight with her picked out only green beans from the blend for her veggie.
I put the plate on the table, away from her to cool and she pulled it in and starting eating really well. So, I told her if she didn't fight me during dinner that she could have an extra special treat. I did have to remind her of this a few more times but that motivated her to eat her dinner with little fuss.
Dinner ran late, and of course the kids were eating slow so it was a late night. But a promise is a promise so here is Arabella's first adventure into baking cookies.
MONSTER COOKIE!!!!
 |
| First we must pose with our ingredients |
 |
| She helped Mommy add the butter, Mommy added the egg, and she poured in the cookie mix. |
 |
| The you MUST make a funny face while mixing the batter. |
 |
| Once the batter is formed into dough, we pour it onto a parchment paper lined pizza pan. |
 |
Then we sing twinkle twinkle into the spoon microphone. |
 |
| Then another MUST, lick the spatula so it is free from any batter. |
 |
| Give the dough a final pat before it goes in the oven. |
 |
| Prepare your cookie drink. For me it's all about the milk, whereas she would rather have juice. |
 |
| Nom Nom Nom...you better believe Mommy caved and ate a piece. |
that's awesome.
