Fruit leather

Bella loves fruits and fruit leather as a snack in the afternoon. Buying them at the store can get quit pricey so I made my own and my toughest critic (Bella) gave it thumbs up and said "you're pretty cleaver mom". I live for comments like that:)

Off course for this recipe you need a dehydrator or a hot air oven. You can use pretty much any fruit but for this one I used a leftover kiwi on it's last leg and one banana. It was a great combination. If you don't like the look of the seeds from the kiwi you can always strain the kiwi first to remove them.

1 large banana, peeled

1 kiwi or other fruit, peeled

1 squirt of lemon juice

Puree until creamy and no lumps exists. Use a spatula to spread thin on a parchment paper. Dehydrate on F105 until it's dry and you can peel the leather of the parchment paper.

Vegetable pancakes

My little man Noah is now enjoying feeding him self.  Unfortunately that does not mean a whole lots of vegetables so I have to be clever and "hide" them in foods he do enjoy. These pancakes are one of them and I added carrots and corn last time and kale, chickpeas and carrots the time before.

He loves them and I'm happy because he my vegetarian baby boy gets carbohydrates, protein, omegas and vitamins from the vegetables all in one go and I can't ask for a more healthy and nutritional lunch for him. He also munched on an apple for dessert and drank a glass of oat milk. My big boy!

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk ( I used homemade oat milk)
1.2 cup + 1 tbs spelt flour
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup corn
Canola oil to cook pancakes in

Whisk each egg and add flour and milk and blend until lump free. Add cottage cheese, carrots and corn and combine quickly. Heat oil in frying pan on medium heat and cook 1/4 cup batter on each pancakes for a few minutes and then flip and cook another couple of minutes until the are golden brown.
