"Feeding Fussy Kids" recipe conversions?
« on: March 19, 2013, 11:33:05 pm »
Hi everyone, I've just bought the Feeding Fussy Kids cookbook by Julie Maree Wood and I think it's brilliant. I've found a few recipe conversions on here - the MEMoC seeds, eat your greens cakes, and iron booster balls. Just wondering if anyone else has this book and has successfully converted any other recipes? I'll post some of my conversions once I've decided where to start!

Sorry for the delay - went back to work after Maternity Leave and life got very busy!!
These are a hit with my kids, and also a friend's fussy daughter!
From Page 220 of FFK's.

KB's Pumpkin Muffins

Makes 12.
Keeps in an airtight container for 4 days, or frozen for 6 months.

70g plain white flour
70g plain wholemeal flour
1 teasp baking powder
80g brown sugar
200g pumpkin, peeled and cut into chunks.
2 eggs
45g vegetable oil (I used rice bran oil)
(I added 1/2 teasp mixed spice)

Grate pumpkin 7 sec, speed 5. Scrape down sides, and grate again for 8 sec, speed 5. Set aside.
Mix flours, baking powder and mixed spice for 10 sec, speed 5.
Add eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin and mix for 10 sec, speed 4.

Pour into greased medium-sized muffin tin and bake for 15-20 mins at 180, or until firm to gentle touch. Leave to cool in tin for 5 mins before removing.

These also work well with carrot, sweet potato, or 1/3 of each three vegies.

Boosts: fibre, complex carbs, potassium, beta carotene (Vit A).
Great for: boosting vegies, sustained energy.

I have had a couple of fails with the muesli bars (a bit bland) and the Tricky choc truffles (tooth-achingly sweet), but when I convert some others, I will post. Have been using tried and true recipes now that I'm back at work, rather than converting and tweaking new ones!
