Chocolate Cranberry mini Muffins

 

I often joke about Stella {aka the fussy one}, but really her eating habits are no laughing matter. They drive me completely insane.

  As a baby, she was a dream. I could feed her anything, and she happily gobbled it up. Her list of approved menu items gets smaller by the day.

 

 

Stella will eat:

yogurt

oatmeal

fruit of any kind

peas – frozen only, and they must still be frozen when eaten

homemade pasta, pizza, chicken noodle soup – minus the chicken and bean and cheese burritos

Breakfast before school is a challenge. Charlie will not eat oatmeal, Stella will not eat eggs, if it hasn’t been cooked, they do not see it as breakfast {so no to the cereal}

 

 

The one thing Stella LOVES …muffins

of any kind

and if they are mini – that is even better

she’s convinced they taste better small

when chocolate is involved,

well that just makes everyone happy

{even when served with a bowl of cereal}
