Recently Pinterest has become my best friend. Whenever I find some free time (or even on a crazy busy day) I hop on to Pinterest browsing away the recipes I can make for my picky, not-a-huge-fan-of-food toddler who does not blink an eye before pointing out something sticking out of his sandwich and putting it back in his plate.
I have to get creative in the kitchen while making his meals. No wonder he loves carrot zucchini muffins, spinach muffins, quinoa bread. These muffins, when I saw so many versions of this on Pinterest, I was super excited. This was something I could put together, and I was sure my kiddo won’t mind eating. I just had to make sure that these were good to look at and no soggy veggies could be sneaking out of these healthy muffins. Veggie Has A Dark Side, and did you know that? If you don’t, you should learn it right away.
Well, I made these cheese and veggie muffins for after school dinner. I was thrilled that he not only finished his first two muffins, but asked for another one. He could not finish the third one though, must have been little heavy on his little tummy.
These muffins taste so delicious right out of the oven, or even cold when served in the lunchbox for school or work. I love that these are so quick and easy to make muffins are a great ways for kids to eat their vegetables. Cheese adds to the rich flavor.
