I’m one of those girls that loves fall, something I really hope my boys inherit. I love the colors that God provides, the crisp nights and warm days. I love biting into freshly picked apples and roasting brussels sprouts. I love winter squash and pumpkins too.
Now brussels sprouts and winter squash might not be your choosy kid’s favorite side dish, but there are lots of things we as momma’s can do to help them gobble up their vegetables in delight.
One thing I love about winter squash is its versatility- any recipe that calls for pumpkin you can make with winter squash. You can make it into a breakfast porridge like this or this you can hide it in smoothies or pancakes. And you can put it in baked goods.
Today I’m going to share a recipe for Butternut Spice Muffins that is toddler approved. In fact, today as I was making these I had a toddler twisting himself around my legs to get as many tastes as possible and after they were baked he did a dance every time he got to eat one. 🙂

What kind of vegetables do your toddlers and preschoolers love? Which ones do you struggle to get them to eat? Any tips on getting littles to eat vegetables they aren’t fond of?
These look yummy! I’m bad with getting my veggies, so I’m all for hiding them xD Pinning
Thank you Stefanie! Hide waway, vegetables are so good for you! 🙂
Oh my goodness those look delicious!
We have been so blessed by our son’s appetite, haha! He’s like a garbage disposal! He absolutely loves fruits and veggies. His favorite vegetable though is probably carrots.
Praying this next baby will be just as hungry as the first! Otherwise I will be asking all around for tips on feeding a picky eater!
Yay for littles who love their veggies! I try not to force foods on my kids, because I want them to actually enjoy what they eat, but I definitely attempt to get those healthy veggies in any way I can.
These sound so delicious! I am a sorta crunchy too (:
Lol! Nice to meet you, fellow sorta crunchy momma. 🙂
these look amazing, adding them to my recipes to try
Thanks Terri!
