These are FAB! Easy, quick, high protein, delish and freezable, so you can make a whole batch at once. Great for breakfast or snack on the go!
3 large eggs or 3/4 cup egg whites
1 package (10oz) frozen spinach
3/4 cup shredded reduced fat cheese such as mozzarella or cheddar
1/4 cup diced red or green pepper or mix of both
1/4 cup diced onion
Thaw spinach, mix ingredients and pour into greased/sprayed muffin baking tray (no little muffin papers necessary) and preheat oven to 350F/180C and bake approx 20 minutes or until a knife comes out clean)
Think I'm going to make some later today and see if the Little Princess likes them. Does anyone from N. America remember those old television commercials from the late 70s/early 80s with the breakfast cereal and Mikey and the line "he likes it! he likes it!" Well, it's a bit like that feeding the Little Princess...if it passes her clamped shut mouth and turned away head, it must be yummy!

Feeding the Little Princess
Thankfully before she started to turn mango yellow due to over consumption, we have been tossed a feeding lifeline by a lot of lovely friends who have "been there and done that" with their non eating babies. As the Little Princess has decided over the past couple of weeks that she would eat nothing served from a bowl or via a spoon, we were at a a bit of a loss and trying to prevent the UK's first case of rickets in I don't know how long.
So we asked around and were given the fantastic advise of putting a selection of finger foods that she could manage on her high chair tray and basically ignoring her and what she did with them. We've never been afraid of a little mess - babies, high chairs, and clothes are all washable (thankfully, as are my now jam and yoghurt covered dining room windows) so we gave it a go and so far it's proving a success. What have we given her?
Pieces of cooked sweet potato, carrot, and potato. Strawberries, blueberries, grapes and pieces of banana and melon. Hard boiled egg (her current fave!) with pieces of cheese or toast, and cut up pieces of cooked pasta and turkey. A lot of it ends up mashed into her hair and my once lovely hardwood floors have now seen much better days, but none of that matters. And as we've been told...the best way to create a fussy eater is to be anal retentive about them making no mess.
Right, I'm off to eat my lovely homecooked dinner of aubergine (eggplant) and goat's cheese pasta, and maybe smear a bit of it into the carpet just for fun....
