healthy eating

Recently, Reagan has decided to show her independence by being outrageously picky when it comes to eating. I have struggled a bit with trying to get her plenty of calories, while still keeping her meals fairly healthy. Here are a few of the foods I have had success with:

1. Flax oil on toast instead of butter - tons of calories, but much healthier!
2. Almond butter - she isn't really a fan of it, but when I use it sparingly with a fruit spread it makes for a new sandwich.
3. Smart balance peanut butter - since she doesn't enjoy the almond butter very much, I alternate and use this peanut butter that has flax oil in it.
4. Cheese melts - she will eat open faced sandwiches with chopped veggies under the cheese! Today I got away with carrots, spinach and tomato!
5. Carrot fries - just cut them in rectangles like fries, toss with some olive oil and bake in the oven till crispy.

I plan on making some pancakes this week with pumpkin in them. If you have any other ideas, please share!
