We sharpened our culinary skills by creating a healthier version of carrot cake this week in Nutrition Expedition! It was a carroty good time :)
I found this recipe online, but had to tweak a few ingredients to make it a bit more school-friendly (we're on a budget!). It didn't turn out as "crazy good" as I was hoping for, but good nonetheless (it got better as the week progressed and after the changes to the recipe). Oh well, that's the fun in trying new things, right? And besides, we topped it with a little whipped cream, so the kiddos didn't mind at all :)
The infants played a matching game, where they were given a bowl of produce (banana, apple, and a carrot), and had to match it to its counterpart that was placed on a mat in front of them. It was fun to see what they gravitated towards.
