Green Treats
Several weeks ago I received an email from weelicious user, Katie Hamilton, kindly thanking me for our baby frittata recipe. I felt a great deal of pride reading that the only way Katie’s son would eat eggs was when she made him baby frittatas. Katie reciprocated by giving me the most genius recipe idea: green cookies. Katie’s mother had made a them for her when she was a baby and Katie continues the tradition by making them for her son. If your toddler protests against eating greens, you have to get him to try these! I call them green treats only because I like for Kenya to associate cookies with dessert, but no matter you call them, I guarantee your family will call them delicious.
I made a dozen of these green treats when I was testing them out. I got one, Kenya had 3 and my husband polished off the rest. They’re that good AND super healthy!
