Sweet Potato - Turmeric - Turkey Muffins

Like I said... I am addicted to my mini cupcake pan. These bit size morsels are great for serving and toddlers!

These are nice and moist, packed with flavor!
2 med-small sweet potatoes finely grated (1 1/2 cups)
1 small onion finely grate
2-4  gloves of garlic pressed or grated
1-2 tsp of salt
Turmeric finely grate (same volume as garlic)

A handful of chopped Organic Cilantro
1 tbs of Ground Cumin

1 organic large egg
1 lb of ground Turkey/Chicken

Mix well with hands! 

Bake on 375 for 15-25 minutes until firm. 

I served it on baby greens, avocado, and cucumber/beet salad. 

This was my toddler's plate!

Get Greens into your Toddler

I find it difficult to get greens into Oliver's diet... not because he is picky but because I typically eat my greens plain and that just doesn't appeal to Oliver. So I have become pretty creative with getting greens into his diet. He loves eggs... Egg yolks were his first solid food and to this day he loves his eggs in the morning. So here is how I make Green Eggs and Ham...lol (No ham in this recipe...)

Ingredients:

  • 3 organic eggs
  • handful of organic cilantro and parsley
  • fistful of organic super greens
  • organic butter
  • 1 organic garlic clove
  • Pinch of salt


Melt some butter in your pan. I can not make eggs without butter it is sacrilegious in my family to use anything else.
Chop up your herbs very finely you could even use a food processor or blender.
Grab a fistful of greens...
And chop up those bad boys too...pretty finely.
Toss all greens and herbs into the hot butter.
Press or finely grate the garlic in with a pinch of salt.
Add in your eggs. I buy super eggs at the farmers market and they are always twins.
Scramble them up...
Keep scrambling...
And there you have it green eggs.
No complaints here...
