Eat your Fruit : Struggle is Real with Kids
The habit of eating fruits, is a bit hard to cultivate in kids. I still struggle with my teen, trying since he was a toddler, hoping he would change as he is developing healthy eating habits now, the teen-phase uhhh!
My younger on the other hand loves to eat fresh apples, crunchy cucumbers and is crazy about mangoes. The apples however has to be fresh, no brown spots should happen to them, if he tastes peel or the seed part or if the apples are bit browned, that's it, a big No!
With so much drama with regard to eating fruits, they don't complain when it is baked. So, I add it to my bakes, easy job for mummy. I m aware of the sugar part, but they just have only one serving a day, so i let it go.
I love to make these gluten free, apple butter thumbprint cookies, a delish after school snack during the weekdays. Both my boys love this delish carrot & raisin cupcakes and when i want to make something special for them, these Eggless kit kat cupcakes are their favorite, i m sure not only kids, even adults like me would love to indulge in these chocolatey cupcakes.

I am a fan of banana cakes and muffins. I so wish I could grab one off the screen as I am feeling hungry. Those whole walnut pieces on each muffin has made stomach growl louder! Like how banana always makes the texture of muffins and cakes soft and moist.
