If you're like me, you have 20 neighbours with zucchini coming out of their ass. I opened my door everyday this week, to a bag of garden vegetables from family and neighbours with an overstock of MASSIVE zucchini, and I love it! But there is only so much my kids can eat, so i've resorted to sneaking it muffins.
These muffins might not be the healthiest, but they sure as hell are healthy looking! Make this recipe for a delicious dessert. If you want to make them for breakfast, throw a handful of oatmeal at them before cooking, and VOILA! It's basically breakfast. I won't tell if you don't, ;)
IF you love someone, and I mean REALLY love someone.. Use THIS Pie Crust recipe.
Be careful though, whomever you make this for, will fall deeply in love with you.

Did you know that babies have more taste buds than adults? Luckily, these little taste receptors are highly adaptable. In fact, research shows that the more times babies are exposed to a food or flavour, the more likely they are to except it and even develop a preference for it. It takes a baby to try a new food up to 10 times before they decide if they like it or not. TEN TIMES! so, during this stage, when your baby is learning to eat new foods and textures, you have a great opportunity to teach your child to love delicious, wholesome foods! The recipes in this section provide a wide variety of nutrient rich ingredients and fresh flavours to grow on!
