breakfast ‘pudding’

I’m slowly mastering the art of tricking my 3 year old (picky eater) into eating things that are good for him with a little game I have dubbed “Tom Foodery.” The kid would seriously live on snacks if his title was The Boss. Unfortunately for him, it’s not.

Every single morning, without fail, he stumbles out of his room with crazy-ass bedhead, rubbing his eyes, rambling incoherently about snacks and dreams he had about popsicles and rainbows.

Let the Tom Foodery begin, my friends.

This recipe is one I stole from Tyler Florence, only slightly adapted, and renamed “breakfast pudding.” The kids think it’s pudding. Dad thinks it’s a smoothie. The leftovers become popsicles. Win. Win. Win.

Breakfast Pudding

makes 4 – 6 servings
1 avocado
2 cups fresh pineapple
2 bananas
1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree to pudding consistency.

This needs to be eaten immediately. Thanks to the avocado it will not save unless you freeze it. Which I do. In popsicle molds.

Excellent for teething babies or preschoolers who expect a daily dose of frozen treats with their afternoon swim. Quadruple Win.


 OMFG. SO GOOD.

… with Chipotle Honey Mayo.

Okay, I might have gone all day thinking today was Tuesday. Might have. Imagine how happy I was when I realized it was actually Wednesday and one day closer to the weekend. Although I’m not sure why I get so excited about weekends anymore since they’re actually more work for me than weekdays.  At least it’s ‘fun work’ though. I mean, if I could get paid to build Lego towers and practice dance moves to the Fresh Beat Band (on repeat for a solid hour) all week long I’d have a pretty sweet gig.

Speaking of sweet, this week I managed to concoct one of the best two-fer recipes in my entire arsenal. That’s saying a lot.

Just looking at that picture is making my mouth water all over again. I’m telling you, these little guys mean BIZNASS.

Iceberg lettuce has gotten a bum rap. But what should it expect, it might just be the most boring food known to man.

Thankfully I’m a good friend, someone who will be brutally honest. Just yesterday I told him “Bergy, you should really think about putting some meat on your leaves, accessorizing a bit. A little sauce might turn some heads.” We had a fun afternoon, I’m talking full-on makeover.

Mac A. Roon (aka, macaroon)

Once upon a time, a sweet (but flakey) gal named Coco Nut met a sweet (and rich) guy named Choc O’Late (okay, that one was a stretch.) It was pretty clear they were made for each other so they got married, had a baby and named him Mac A. Roon.

Isn’t he so cute you could just eat him right up? Trust me, I did. Along with a few of his brothers and sisters.
