    Our daughter is going on 20 months and as is the case with most kids that age it can be a bit of a challenge to get her to eat a solid meal of something that has substance, is natural and healthy. We're on a kick with home made, sugar free blueberry mini-muffins but I'm keen to know what recipes y'all have found appeal to the youngin's and are healthy. Thanks!

    She's your kidlet - and children burn up calories very fast. Unless she's
    a Type I diabetic I'd stay away from the artificial sweeteners. I'm a
    Type II (later onset) diabetic and I'm verrrrry careful which chemical sweeteners I put in my face. Bv)=

    Categories: Breads, Dairy, Citrus, Fruits
    Yield: 9 pancakes

    1 c Almond milk greek yogurt *
    2 lg Eggs; whisked
    Zest of 2 oranges
    3 tb Orange juice
    2 tb Maple syrup or sorghum
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1 c Tapioca flour
    1 c Almond flour
    1 ts Baking powder
    pn Salt
    1 c Blueberries; more as garnish

    Whisk together yogurt, eggs, zest, orange juice, maple
    syrup, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.

    Mix in tapioca flour, almond flour, baking powder and
    salt. Fold in blueberries.

    Place pan over medium heat, grease pan, then use an ice
    cream scoop to scoop the batter onto pan. Cook on each
    side for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to show in the
    batter, then flip.

    Top pancakes with blueberries and syrup.

    * I have used standard Chobani Greek Yoghurt if making
    from "scratch" as well as self-rising flour in place
    of the non-wheat flour(s)

    Title: Chicken-Bacon-Ranch Casserole
    Categories: Squash, Pork, Vegetables, Chilies
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 md Spaghetti squash (2 1/2 lb);
    - cut in half
    1/2 lb Bacon; diced
    1 md Red bell pepper; cored,
    - diced
    1 md Yellow bell pepper; cored,
    - diced
    1/2 Yellow onion; diced fine, or
    - minced
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    1 lb Ground chicken
    1 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts (ea) salt & black pepper
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    1 c Ranch salad dressing
    3 lg Eggs
    Chopped chives; as garnish

    Set the oven @ 400-|F/205-|C.

    Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Place the
    squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30
    to 35 minutes or until the skin gives when you press
    your finger to it. Remove the squash from the oven and
    reduce the oven temperature to 350-|F/175-|C. Grease an
    8" X 8" glass baking dish.

    While the spaghetti squash cooks, place a large saute
    pan over medium heat, add bacon, and cook until crispy,
    about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside. YourCOll want to
    leave behind about 2 tablespoons worth of bacon fat to
    feel free to remove any excess once bacon has cooked.
    Add peppers, onion and garlic cloves and cook for about
    10 minutes, until onion is translucent.

    To the pan with the peppers and onion, add the ground
    chicken along with the garlic powder, salt, black
    pepper, and cayenne pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break
    apart the chicken and cook until no pink remains, about
    10 minutes.

    Use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti squash strings
    and place in the greased baking dish along with the
    chicken mixture, ranch and eggs. Mix to combine then
    sprinkle the crispy bacon on top.

    Place in the oven to bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15
    minutes or until the center is cooked through and edges
    have begun to brown. Garnish with chopped chives on top
    before serving!

    Makes 4 servings (adult) or 6 kid servings

    Title: Kids' Favorite Chilli
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Beans, Chilies
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 lv Ground turkey
    1/2 c Chopped onion
    15 3/4 oz Can Pork & Beans
    14 1/2 oc Can diced tomato; undrained
    10 3/4 oz Can tomato soup; undiluted
    1 tb Brown sugar
    1 tb Chilli spice mix

    In a large saucepan, cook turkey and onion over medium
    heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the
    remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat;
    cover and simmer until heated through, 15-20 minutes.

    UDD NOTE: This recipe also works w/90% lean ground beef
    and it comes together quickly. I've made this w/diced
    tomatoes w/chilies (Red Gold brand) which wakes the stew
    up without burning the mouths of the childre.

    Aww, this sounds great, thank you. By sugar free I just meant we try to sweeten it with fruit and not add a bunch of extra sugar. Agreed about the artificial sweetners, we steer clear of those.

    This sounds great though, I can't wait to give it a go!
