I tried finding a recipe for my picky toddler to eat her vegetables. Since I couldn't find one, I came up with this recipe for zucchini yogurt multigrain muffins. One cup of carrots and one cup of zucchini is a nice way to get yellow and green veggies into the diet! You can use any nuts, raisins, etc., in the recipe — whatever you have on hand and is toddler-approved.

Matcha Pancakes
These matcha pancakes are a treat. We're strong believers in sleeping in and brunching on the weekends (we didn't work hard all week for nothing!), so it's only natural that we treat ourselves to one of our favorite brunch foods: the classic pancake. There's just something about stacks of fluffy, buttery breakfast cakes that make us feel like we're starting the morning off with dessert, especially if chocolate chips are inside. Happy brunching! Top with more white chocolate chips, honey, and butter, and enjoy.
