A successful recipe for my reluctant 5 yo!!

March 1, 2011

I'm so excited!! My daughter just ate 1 whole scoop of NV in one sitting!!!!

After about day 3, my daughter decided she didn't like NV any more and would

sniff everything to see if it was in there. She usually declined anything

that smelled suspiciously of NV. I've been able to get about 1/2 a scoop a

day into her through various means.

I've been experimenting with peanut butter since she doesn't seem to mind it

in that. Today I found a combo that she liked. Well, she kind of helped. I

didn't even have to coax her to eat it. She came back to the bowl over and

over until it was all gone. Here's the recipe:

1 generously rounded Tbs. peanut butter

1 scoop of chocolate NV

sprinkles of her choice

It took a while to work the NV into the peanut butter, but once I did, I

made 6-8 nice round balls. At this point, she walked up with a jar of

sprinkles, one that is divided into 4 sections. She was indicating she

wanted to eat sprinkles, so I asked what kind she wanted, then sprinkled

them into the bowl, rolled the balls in it, and ... she ate all of them!! I

tasted a little and it was pretty dry but she didn't mind at all.

Nothing like sprinkles and a little serendipity to make life good again. We

see the neurologist on Friday so I can't wait to see what she says.
