About Kim Morris & her Blog
What's a treat your kids love that's actually healthy?
Banana 'ice cream' and chocolate chip dip (made with chickpeas!)
What's your best tip for feeding a picky eater?
Not everyone agrees, but I fully believe in 'hiding' nutritious things in foods they like. It also helps to make things "fun" to eat (shapes, faces, etc) and letting kids help pick out and prepare foods. Having a garden is a great way to get kids involved and eating healthier too!

I made Easter cupcakes with Peeps and edible 'grass' last year, and all the kids from preschool and my own kids loved them! They were very cute, if I do say so myself ;) The link will take you to the pictures!What's your favorite muffin recipe?
Kim of Mo'Betta
We love muffins at our house! I have several recipes on my blog, and have so many bookmarked that I rarely make the same one twice. However, I have found that muffins are an excellent way to sneak veggies and whole grains into my kids! Just add chocolate chips and they are known the wiser ;) Check out the link for my Amazing Zucchini Muffins! (and they are egg free!)What's your favorite salad recipe that's perfect for Spring or Summer?

Asian Noodle Salad is SO good! I love it in the summer time,b/c it's good cold and it only requires boiling water on the stove to cook the noodles. I could eat this several times a week and never get tired of it! Check out the blog link for the recipe and picture!Can you share an easy, crowd-pleasing birthday party cake or cupcake recipe?

One of my favorite cake recipes is this one for an EGG FREE cake for those like my son with egg allergies. I like it b/c unlike many other egg free cakes, it rises well, and does not fall to pieces when you cut it! Great for cupcakes too. Ingredients for egg free chocolate cake - 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder *I use Hershey's Special Dark 2/3 cup canola oil 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups cold coffee (or water) Directions- 1.Sift flour, sugar, salt, soda, and cocoa together into a 9 x 13 inch ungreased cake pan. Make three wells. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into second, and vanilla into third well. Pour cold water/coffee over all, and stir well with fork. 2.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Frost with your favorite icing.Please share a link to a photo of a great birthday cake you made or bought.
