It is great when you find something they like.

Sounds as if he isn't ready for raw veggies quite yet.

B,

Sorry to hear about the lettuce oops. We've all made mistakes though.

Since the egg bread was such a hit, here is a couple of more ideas.

To the egg bread, you can add honey and cinnamon and make a French

toast like snack or breakfast. This is one of my favorites.

Here is a recipe I posted a while ago for avocado bread.

AVOCADO BREAD

Ingredients

3 avocados

6 eggs

1/4 - 1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbs. Nut butter – Optional, although it does make a firmer bread.

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half; remove pits and spoon out flesh. Discard

skins and pits. Puree the avocados, eggs, salt and nut butter together.

2. Spread into a jellyroll pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at

300° F for 30 minutes.

3. While it's still hot, place another piece of parchment on top and

flip into another jellyroll pan (or you can flip onto a cutting board

and then slide it back into the original pan). Peel the parchment

paper off the top, and return it to the oven bottom side up. Bake this

side for an additional 20 minutes at 300° F.

Notes

----------------

I based this recipe off two other recipes: Sheila's Avocado Pancakes

and Jodi's Souffle Bread. My hubby loves to make tuna and cheese

sandwiches with it.

Thanks for the ideas, Sharon. I'm getting a little

concerned as to the amount of eggs he's eating...but

then again, it's only temporary.

That egg-french toast snack sounds like a winner. I

will have to see if he likes it that way, maybe over

the weekend!

Tomorrow if there are no weird poop issues, on to

banana! I think I will try the banana pancakes as my

bananas are getting nice and ripe now. I have a little

thermal cooler bag for my son's lunch to send the egg

bread and some cooked carrots. I think he will be OK

at school. I am so appreciative of all the help from

everyone so far.
